This morning, I read this. Which led me on a hunt to find out just HOW God works in us “to will and to do” for His good pleasure. This post is dedicated to everyone, like me, who simply cannot do IT, whatever IT may be, on their own.
Here are some power-filled verbs to describe [...]
We are seeing some great results all around us as our staff has been uniting in prayer daily since July. God is moving in powerful ways, but it is only the beginning of what He really would like to do. There is no power on earth greater than that of prayer. All of us could [...]
“Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ…” (Philippians 1: 27 NKJV)

My first impression of life in Toronto was quite vivid. I exited the train and entered the station, where I was accosted by hoardes of [...]
Been thinking a lot about ruts and how to get out of them. We all have them, but I don’t know anyone who likes them. In baseball, they call it a slump. Larry Stone, from BNET, put it this way:
