…old buildings to celebrate. Longevity is a sad church goal. We hold up New Testament churches, idealizing and idolizing their various virtues, but do we ever admire the fact that none of them exist today in their original form? The gospel has gone around the world, but would it have been so successful if earlier churches had refused to stand out, scatter, go underground with their worship or overboard with their service? What if each fellowship’s…

…story here in Atlantic Canada is part of Canada’s story. There is much to commemorate and celebrate. This should also be a time of reflection and forgiveness – when we stood up for justice, and when we were silent; when we championed the weak and marginalized, and when we turned away; when we answered the cry of the helpless, and when we put our own needs first.

This woman of faith had a deep piety that helped her trust God—which was even more amazing in combination with her intense desire to serve the Lord: “I am the Lord’s servant. May it be to me as you have said” (Luke 1:38). I am deeply convicted and challenged by Mary’s response to the difficult task God asked of her. What a woman of faith! What a willing…

…ring Him Lord of Lord and King of Kings We are not saved by baptism We are commanded to make disciples and then baptize those disciples We don’t need hours and hours of baptism classes, we need water. Testimony of Samson Imanirambona I was raised in a Christian home, in the country of Burundi in Africa. Which at the time was a war ravaged country, so, my family moved to P.E.I through a lot of prayer and travel. As a kid I did not really understand…

…for detecting evil spirits (as well as liquid ones)? In Scripture, “devil” comes from “diablos” meaning “destroyer”. It’s closely connected to “diaballein” – “to divide”. In destroying and dividing the devil often uses words, true and false ones – accusations and lies. So before we post or share the next terrorist/Muslim/refugee rant, let’s ask ourselves: Is this divisive? Does this point the finger at certain humans and not at something all human…

…y, talked about how he largely ignored God until one day he couldn’t get a computer to start up. The computer was filled with important and sensitive data that would likely cost him his job if he couldn’t retrieve it. He remembered how his grandmother used to tell him to pray if he needed help and so he said, “God, if you are real, please get this computer to work.” Afterwards, he tried the machine again, and it started up! Another person talked a…
