Tracking our private information June 8, 2020

Law Professor Michael Geist, Chair of Canada Research in Internet and E-Commerce, says that how we use our mobile devices, what we watch on TV, where we live, as well as our gender and age are being tracked. The big question is who will see this private information and what will be done with it. Such actions can cause concern and discomfort. However, our Maker already sees and knows all about us. The Psalmist wrote, “O Lord…You understand my thought afar off …and are acquainted with all my ways. “It is natural to be concerned when our private lives are invaded. But if we have entered into a personal relationship with God we “have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” and we can relax, knowing He has our best interest at heart and uses information about us only for our good and His glory.

The Blind Skier June 5, 2020

Taking a deep breath, Wally Mozdzierz skis down the icy slope, feeling the exhilaration common to anyone who skis. But for Wally, it’s different. He is totally blind! Though he’s taken some tumbles, he continues to tackle some of the steepest and most challenging terrain. “I have no fear,” he says. The secret? Wally has a guide with him always issuing instruction. And sometimes we too feel like we are blind, can’t see the future and unseen dangers. But it is different when we have the Lord for our guide. He invites us to accept His offer of forgiveness, cleansing and the promise of everlasting life. He becomes our guide through this life and even into the next. He has promised, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

Lessons from a Frog June 3, 2020

Immerse a frog in hot water, and it will immediately hop out. Put it in cold water and then slowly heat it, and the frog will not notice that it’s being boiled. Bad habits too, may start in our lives, coming on gradually, so they do not get our attention. Watch just a little pornography, spend just a little time flirting with someone, not our husband or wife. Begin binge drinking, only on weekends. Before we know it, we are addicted. Thankfully, when we turn our situation over to God, and become properly related to Christ. His truth can set us free. Paul reminds us ,“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” What an offer.

I’ll never do that again June 1, 2020

As the young girl and her friend came bounding out of the icy water, she was heard to scream, “I will never do that again!” She was one of dozens who got up early on New Year’s Day and jumped into a large hole chopped in the solid ice in her city’s harbour. The young lady had made up her mind that it was something she would never repeat. And many of us have done something which we regret, such as making unwise choices in life. But the greatest mistake any of us can make is to leave God out of our lives. That’s because only Jesus can satisfy our spiritual needs with forgiveness of our wrong-doing. He alone is “the way the truth and the life.” No one can come to the Father except through Him. As noted author Eugenia Price advised, “don’t go through life practicing your mistakes.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Faith May 29, 2020

Ralph Waldo Emerson was a brilliant American poet, philosopher and essayist. He attended the Boston Latin School and graduated from Harvard University. Although the death of his nineteen-year- old wife caused a crisis in his faith, he later wrote, “All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.” Emerson’s strong faith is a testimonial to the fact that faith in God need not be limited to the uneducated, or those of average intelligence. Many are convinced that faith in the Bible as the inspired Word of God and trust in Christ is only for the elderly and superstitious. But the testimony of brilliant thoughtful people like Ralph Waldo Emerson should cause honest people to reconsider this kind of thinking. Timothy, in the New Testament reminds us that “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God…

Our pleasure mad World May 27, 2020

King Solomon wrote “I denied myself nothing my eyes desired, I refused no pleasure. I amassed silver and gold.” Perhaps part of mankind’s craving for pleasure is based on desire for distractions from the terrible things that are happening around us. Solomon’s tastes were extravagant, his appetites unrestrained, yet he found them meaningless. Then, when he looked to God, he learned that only turning from evil and living a God honouring life brought fulfillment and happiness. Pleasure, money or material achievements do not bring true happiness. As with Solomon, only through a proper relationship with God through faith in Christ can this be found. Jesus said that He came into this world that we might have “life and have it more abundantly.” Only He can satisfy the longings of our hearts.

Failing to look Ahead May 25, 2020

“Most people tend to avoid looking ahead to the end of their days.” those words were part of a newspaper commentary giving suggestions for making out one’s will. It is common to neglect making important decisions regarding the future. It’s as though we think we will always be healthy and sickness only happens to others. Many have the philosophy, “Why think of tomorrow, just live for today.” But there is a tomorrow to prepare for. Am I ready for the next life? Are you? If not, here is good advice which was seen on a grave stone in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia- “Prepare to meet thy God.” To be prepared, we need to become properly related to God through faith in His Son. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Security Blanket May 22, 2020

Linus, the character in the comic strip Peanuts, always had his security blanket. With security in mind, somebody wrote, “I pulled my blanket around my shoulders and snuggled in the warmth of my family, my job my good health, my financial security. But …suddenly my blanket was ripped from my grasp and I stood exposed in all my fears. Then I looked up to the Son of God, Who said, “My peace I give to you, don’t be troubled or afraid.” I was warm.” Is this your situation today? Lost your job? Your health or that of a loved one has taken a turn for the worse? Security blanket ripped away? The only way to have true security is to become properly related to the One Who holds all our tomorrows in His hand. His name is Jesus Christ, God’s Son. He never changes. He is “the same, yesterday, today and forever.”

Message in a Bottle May 20, 2020

A fisherman pulled an old bottle out of the Baltic Sea in Northern Europe. Inside was a scribbled message on a postcard, asking the finder to return it to the writer’s home address in Berlin. The bottle had been tossed in the sea in Germany in 1913. It is believed to be the world’s oldest ever found. Researchers were able to track down the writer’s sixty-two-year-old granddaughter, Angela Erdmann, who lives in Berlin. Erdmann said with tears, “That was a pretty moving moment.” And it is a very moving moment when we hear about the message that God delivered to the world over two thousand years ago. The message was “… God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Forgiveness and eternal life are available to all.

Two sides to Facebook May 18, 2020

Facebook is an online social media service. It is very popular, and millions use it every day to connect with others. But there is a downside. Privacy is significantly threatened, not just for Facebook clients, but everyone Facebook has identified, even once in an uploaded photo. We can remove the tags, delete the photos, even the Facebook account. But the permanent record is there. You cannot hide from Facebook. You cannot hide from God either. The all-seeing all-knowing God keeps our records. That can be scary, since, as sinners, we all have things to hide. But there’s good news. Our loving heavenly Father is willing to delete all wrong-doing from His records. He inspired John to write, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” And when God forgives, He forgets.
