Tell them how much the Lord has done for you
SCRIPTURE: Mark 5:14-20 I have heard interesting theories as to why the spirits wanted to be sent among the pigs (one person theorized that demons need bodies to survive; if so then killing pigs was unhelpful). The reason is obvious: they wanted to scare people away from Jesus. This is how Satan and his helpers work,…
Discerning the spirits in my life
SCRIPTURE: Mark 5:1-13 Do you believe that there are spirit beings out there, good and bad? This man was possessed by a legion of evil spirits; occasionally this can happen, but I also think that all of us are harassed by evil spirits (and helped by good spirits). We are not helpless puppets against them, we…
Say it loud, “Quiet, be still!”
SCRIPTURE: Mark 4:35-41 In Psalm 46, we are urged to rest in God through the storms. Jesus seems to have a sense of peace about Him, an ability to rest in God’s presence and power. He has faith in God His Father, He knows that God will fulfill His life purpose for Him. The key to living…
God’s world showing through me

Selah, the sound of resting in God
SCRIPTURE: Psalm 46 We may not feel what this psalm expresses, but repeating these words can help you feel it more. Our world may be falling apart, the nations may be in disorder, but God remains in charge. Because God is here, the world will not fall, He will help those who honor Him. To defy…
Toronto Northern Lights ballad!
The Barbershop Harmony Society finally posted the official version of our gold-medal winning ballad. The costumes don’t make sense apart from our previous song, The Vegetable Medley. That one should be posted soon too. Simple summary, that song was about fighting vegetables learning how to work together. This ballad follows as a serious message on…
1 Kings 7-11
SCRIPTURE: 1 Kings 7-11 What do you sense the Lord saying to you? PRAYER
Can you see it?
“Earth’s crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God; But only he who sees, takes off his shoes – The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.” Elizabeth Barrett Browning I love this imagery. Today’s reading from Mark 4:26-29 reminded me of it. This is how God’s world works, He is present in and…
