Mothers are often tempted to feel that their work is unimportant. Unfortunately, a mother’s work is rarely appreciated. Few people know anything about her many worries and sorrows. Her days are occupied with an endless round of little duties, cleaning up messes, picking up toys and clothes. On this Mother’s Day, faithful Christian mothers, we want you to know that God has been with you, listening all your prayers, and although your name may not have been heard in the world, be assured, it is kno...
Imagine living in primitive, tiny stone huts filled with smoke, poor ventilation, and almost no insulation. Many people who live in remote parts of Peru, have to endure these kinds of conditions, which are hazardous to their health. High in the Andes mountains, with snow and ice and freezing temperatures, many of the Quechua people, descendants of the Inca, do not live in warm, healthy homes, like we do in Canada. Recently, ADRA Canada got involved, helping these people in remote parts of the An...

You may remember the story of the abduction of three-year-old Kienan Hebert from his home in Sparwood, British Columbia, Sept. 7th, 2011.

Later, Paul Hebert was able to sit down with the kidnapper and forgive him. What was that conversation like, and how h...

Let me ask you a personal question: If you have ever sinned against someone else, how did you feel? Guilty, ashamed, hopeless, like giving up.

He has a solution for you.
Perhaps you recall the words of the pop song: “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.” I wonder how many people feel like they are looking for something, but don’t know what it is? Maybe you feel or have felt that way? I know I have. The Bible unashamedly states that the human heart is in fact looking for a connection, but we often don’t know where to find it. If you want to find what you’re looking for, take a look at today’s message.

Trouble is often greater in anticipation than in reality; but this is not true of the time of trouble described in the Bible.

What will life be like for the LORD’s faithful people in that most trying hour?

What if you just had one more day to live, what would you do with it? If you could live your life all over again, what would you do differently? How much time have you spent worrying instead of doing something you love? Life is far too short; the thread of life is so brittle. Human beings have scarcely begun to live when they begin to die.... You are cautioned in the Bible to “redeem the time” (Ephesians 5:16). But time wasted can never be recovered, so how can you redeem your time?
Don Straub, a practicing clinical counselor, examines whether or not we should see self-love as an oxymoron, or an expression that some see as an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory term.

If God is saving us from sin, where would we have to go in the universe to find the root of sin? Isaiah 14 tells us sin originated in the heart and the mind of an angel named Lucifer who was the highest of the angles, who fell from heaven.

If you’ve ever smashed your thumb with a hammer or experienced the death of a loved one, you know what excruciating pain feels like. The word “excruciating” comes from two Latin words: “ex” as in the English word “exit” meaning “out,” and “crucia” referring to the crucifix or the cross. So, “excruciating” literally means “out of the cross” or the pain Jesus suffered when He was crucified. If you are right now facing excruciating pain, Jesus understands, and we want to share with you the way Your...
