DAILY LIVING | How Are We Stronger Together

An odd thing happens when people, birds, bees, and horses decide to work together instead of working separately. The combined effect of the interaction of two or more is greater than the sum of their individual results. Canadian geese flying in formation, for example, can fly much further and faster than the sum of the individual birds flying alone. They fly more as one BIG bird than as many individuals. A hive of bees produces more honey than all the individual bees can produce on their own. Cl...

DAILY LIVING | Seek Honest Friends

Jesus assures you that when you “know the truth, the truth will set you free” (John 8:32).

DAILY LIVING | Unlimited!

Everything is limited and sooner or later comes to an end: We have limited time, limited strength, limited space, and limited resources.

If you are willing, you too can plug-in to the unlimited.

DAILY LIVING | Hurt People Hurt People

Have you ever noticed how wounded people tend to wound other people? Perhaps you have attempted to help someone who was hurting, only to find the very one you were trying to help lashed out at you. Or maybe you have hurt someone who was trying to help you, and you were surprised by your own actions, which caused you to resolve: “Next time I’ll stop and think if it’s because I’ve been hurt, myself.” Jesus was hurt most by those He came to save, and He demonstrated how to overcome this cycle of hu...

DAILY LIVING | Make the Most of Every Opportunity

Falsely Accused

Aaron and Zachery Simmonds, on one fateful day in February 2020, were on their way to visit their brother in Toronto when they were pulled over by the police and arrested for second degree murder. It was a Tuesday afternoon, February 18th to be exact, and they had just left their parents’ house, and strangely they were confronted with a swarm of police cars coming out of nowhere; guns were aimed at them, and they faced murder charges. They were falsely accused of a crime they knew nothing about....

You Were Designed with a Longing for Love

Love and the expression of love are absolutely vital to our existence.
