A year ago, the James Webb telescope was launched into space. It’s been sending spectacular high-definition pics that have amazed both astronomers and lay people alike. The most stunning so far was just released: the “Rho Ophiuchi” cloud complex, a star forming region in space 400 light years from earth. The entire image is about […]

My wife and I recently celebrated our 53rd(!) anniversary. Hard to believe it’s been that long. Seems like only a few years. Mind you there are those who see any marriage lasting more than 10 years as an anomaly. I remember a nurse 3 years ago who was doing a blood test saying,”50yrs ?! In […]

You’ve no doubt read about the school board in Utah who removed the Bible from their regional libraries because of its “violent and vulgar”content. They opined that it was hurtful for their elementary school pupils. But now they’ve reversed that decision after significant pushback from parents. The fact is that the Bible, especially the Old […]

I’m sitting in a church conference as I write( during a coffee break). I’ve just listened to an overview of 1200 Canadian churches’ strategy to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus. Pretty big vision! But that’s the point: vision. The Bible says that where there’s no vision people “cast off restraint”. Think about […]

The daily posts re: Artificial Intelligence warn us that we are under threat of a takeover. A touch alarmist no? But the warnings are fuelled by fear and insecurity. In a world that appears under siege by war, climate change, and state failure we are truly vulnerable to worse case scenarios. Throw in the ubiquitous […]

Like millions of others I watched the coronation of King Charles lll. It was gripping, must-see TV. The pomp and circumstance was appropriate and regal, the beauty of Westminster Cathedral awesome. The biggest impact for me was the biblical content of both liturgy and music. It was uplifting. I found myself moved to tears at […]

In a recent speaking engagement I referred to the resilience of the human spirit and our ability to both withstand and overcome adversity. I used the example of what I call the “giraffe tree”. On a wood lot property my wife and I used to own there was a very strangely shaped maple tree. It […]

We’ve just celebrated Resurrection Day, the greatest day in the year for us Christians. It’s about hope, something dearly needed in these bleak days. Our world seems to be in turmoil everywhere. Indeed, reading or listening to the news is enough to depress anyone. Yet, there’s more good news out there than bad. It’s just […]

I preached recently in Lusaka Zambia. Pastor and Esther Reutter were our hosts. They’ve been in Zambia for 41 years. They arrived in 1982 with nothing but a vision to communicate the Gospel to the nation. They decided to start with what was “in their hand”, in this case Esther’s nursing credentials. They opened a […]

No doubt we’re all troubled by the state of our world. Over 2000 years ago Jesus gave us fair warning: “ you will hear of wars and rumours of wars…nation against nation…kingdom against kingdom…famines, pestilences, and earthquakes…”(Mathew 24:6,7). The Old Testament character Job declared that “man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward”. […]
