Real Power.
Prayer. The easiest, yet one of the most difficult things on this planet to do. It is such a privilege to be able to talk to the Holy Father whenever we so decide, but I mean, how often do we ‘decide’ to do this. I know for many people, prayer is a routine quick talk each morning, before dinner, and before bed. It can be as little as a ,”Thank you Jesus for all you’ve done...

Be Holy.
Be Holy. It’s a command not only from the God to the Israelites -“You will be for me a kingdom of priests a holy nation” in Exodus 19:6. It isn’t just something that Jesus suggested to his disciples when he said, “Be holy, because I am holy.”And it definitely isn’t just an idea that Peter just came up with when he addressed the persecuted in Rome,...

Jesus, He's Still Here.
15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19Before long, the world will not see me...

Broken.
Every single one of us is torn and broken. From the inside out, we are walking this Earth as truly shattered beings.

A City That Needs God.
This weekend, I visited my Brother in his apartment in downtown Toronto. As I left the bus station, I was instantly swarmed with countless advertisements, pamphlets, and men of all ages asking for spare change - anything they could get. As I continued walking, billboards promoting every possible new and must-have item of the season were plastered on any wall space available. One of these...

Loves Like A Hurricane.
Today, I learned one of the most valuable things in my faith as I ever have. The fact that my Father, Jesus Christ, the LORD Almighty, loves me. He actually loves me. A skinny, lanky, 18 year old, wealthy, Canadian, male. What have I ever done to deserve his love? What have I ever done for God to actually love me? I am a sinner, I am a man who in no way follows God completely faithfully. I...
Living At The Crossroads.
“God is the biggest tool in this world, that we never use.”
In reflection of Goheen and Bartholomew’s book entitled Living at the Crossroads, I clearly came to an evident understanding of one thing - we are, just as Israel was, at the crossroads of the world today. Just as God placed Israel in the middle of two immense trade highways of their...
