Last month a gentleman in Sweden was shoveling snow and took a heart attack but thankfully a physician happened to be driving by and noticed the man fall to the ground. The physician determined the man had no pulse and started CPR. A bystander was told to call emergency and make them aware this man has taken a heart attack. To the physicians surprize, three minutes after the call, a drone was overhead lowering down a defibrillator. The device was used and the man’s heart started beating again and he survived. It is a great story surrounding getting a heart to do what it is supposed to do. The Bible also has a means of directing a person to get the heart to do what it is supposed to do. Jesus shares that, ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.”

It has been a couple months since a tornado hit and devastated a number of communities in the US. There has also been a lot of reports of photographs traveling great distances in the wind but the record from a tornado in 1920 still remains. Paper debris traveled 370 km from Missouri Bootheel to southern Illinois. The is a long distance for a piece of paper to travel. Apparently, the paper rides winds, sometimes reaching heights of 30 to 40 thousand feet and then falls when the winds dissipates. Do you know the distance the Bible tells us God removes our sin made possible by person receiving Jesus Christ as ones Saviour? In Psalm 103:12 it reads, “As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. That is as far of a distance as you can get!

It was determined that over 26 million dollars was sent to the wrong bank accounts in the fiscal year of 2020-2021. These wrong deposits were mainly the result of a government department providing the Receiver Generals Office with an incorrect account number. The result was a lot of people finding more money in their account than expected due unfortunately to a mistake. Did you know the Bible teaches of an account transfer that is available through faith in Christ that we will want to make sure we get right? Second Corinthians 5:21 reads, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Through faith in Jesus a person receives, before God, the righteousness of Jesus upon their lives.

Last month a Saskatchewan family welcomed their third set of consecutive set of naturally conceived twins. Petrina McArthur, who is now a mom of eight said she was shocked when she learned she was having her first set of twins just over four years ago. She has given birth to six children in four years. That is a medical anomaly. Did you know the bible speaks of a spiritual anomaly? It speaks of a special birth that a person has to have in order to enter into a right relationship with God. In the book of John, Jesus is speaking with a religious leader of his day called Nicodemus and he shares something with Nicodemus that we need to be aware of. Jesus said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

It was shared in the news recently how a music professor from Tennessee slipped a $50 bill into his locker on campus and gave out the combination of his locker in the syllabus for his performing arts seminar class. Unfortunately, by the end of the semester the students all went home and the $50 remained unclaimed because none of his students read through their syllabus and did what it said. Did you know the Bible has numerous blessings to be found and experienced? The key though is to not only read about these blessings but to follow through with what you have read. In the book of James it reads, “But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”

This month there are plans to auction off a diamond in Dubai that is literally out of this world. The diamond is a 555.55 carat black diamond that is believed to have come from a meteorite. The diamond is expected to be sold for over 8 and a half million dollars. A 555 carat diamond is quite a treasure. Did you know that in the Bible we are made aware of a treasure that is valued infinitely beyond the worth of a 555 carat diamond but we can in fact possess it? Jesus shared a story of a man who found a treasure in a field and then went and sold all that he had to buy the field so he could have the treasure. The treasure is the kingdom of heaven. Jesus also shared the way into the kingdom. He said in John 14:6 I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the father but by me.

Last month a gentleman from Ontario had a luxury SUV for sale worth $65,000. He tried to sell the automobile on Auto Trader. Two gentlemen showed up to see the car. One stayed in his own car while the other was shown the vehicle for sale. Unfortunately, while the owner of the luxury vehicle answered a call and stepped away both individuals quickly drove away leaving the owner watching his $65,000 speed off. Unfortunately, the vehicle that was stolen was not insured and the owner it is out the value of the car. In the bible Jesus warns of being on guard from a thief that desires to rob us. In John 10:10 it reads, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantl

Last month there were a number of individuals disqualified in a beauty contest that had more than 66 million in prizes. This way not your typical beauty contest. Not only because the amount of money to be won but also due to the fact that it was a beauty contest for camels. It took part in Saudi Arabia and 43 camels were disqualified for being given Botox injections as well as other forms of “tampering” by breeders. The owners winning camel receives a cash prize and recognition which means they can then later sell the camel for even more money. Did you know the Bible shares about what God judges when he looks at us? In the book of 1 Samuel we are instructed what God is looking for when He looks at us. It reads, For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

Last month a kilt-wearing Scotsman and his dog completed an 8000 km walk across Canada. Michael Yellowlees and his Alaskan husky dog Luna started in Tofino B.C. in April and finished in Newfoundland in December. They raised more than 60,000 for the Trees for Life charity. He definitely got some attention walking in Newfoundland in December wearing a kilt. Did you know the Bible talks about a way to walk that should get your attention? In 2 Corinthians 5:7 it reads, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” This speaks of living a life in which a person’s trust is in God and His direction. The way to start this walk is addressed in Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Last month, after a two month battle a gentleman from Ontario finally resolved an issue he faced by mistakenly transferring 19,000 into a strangers account rather than his own. He was transferring money into his account for a down payment on a house. In doing the transfer he entered the correct account number but the wrong transit number. Thankfully the bank finally returned the funds into the correct account. Did you know the Bible teaches of an account transfer that is available through faith in Christ that we will want to get right? Second Corinthians 5:21 reads, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Through faith in Jesus a person receives, before God, the righteousness of Jesus upon their lives.
