Today I wanted to share a short video that I received in an e-mail from a Friend at church last Christmas.
It is produced by a church in New Zealand. Enjoy!

Right where you're planted.

Several years ago now my cousin decided to put a little addition on the small barn at his place. Before he was able to do that though he needed to build up the ground around it since it sat right at the edge of a hill. So he had some clean fill brought in, mostly rocks, clay and dirt, but unknown to him amongst all of that was a tulip bulb. So as spring arrived and things began to grow again, up came a little yellow tulip, eye catchingly unique in its surroundings. It got me thinking, what if those of us who are followers of Jesus stood out as brilliantly, beautifully and uniquely as that little yellow tulip? In Matthew chapter 5 verses 14 through 16 Jesus says: You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heav

It's a New Year but I still wrestle with sin. Yikes!

Belated Happy New Year everyone! So do you feel new in 2014, or more or less like the same old you from 2013? I was just sitting here imagining what it might be like if the proverbial hitch in our stride were replaced by a spring in our step at the stroke of midnight, when the old year became the new. Or what if those silver and gray hairs that seem to multiply with every glance in the mirror, were suddenly at the singing of Auld Lang Syne replaced by our original hair colour? Unfortunately things don't work that way, or at least it's never happened to me. Tongue in cheek joking aside though, there are some things I wish would disappear from my life at the start of a new year. Mainly my sinful nature. Because all to easily and far to frequently the things I know to be wrong over take me. All to easily and far to frequently my thoughts or actions cause the Joy of the Lord in my heart to be replaced by feelings of shame and guilt. Like a man in a small boat suddenly hit by a

The Bible

Happy 2016 everyone! So, as you hang the new calendar on your wall are there things you're joyfully anticipating in the days, weeks and months to come, or is there instead concern, fear and uncertainty weighing heavy on your heart? If I were to be completely honest I would have to say I'm a mixture of both. Maybe to a greater or lesser degree some of you are too. But if there is one thing that is an encouragement to me, year in and year out, it is God's word, the Bible. As I read it I learn of God's great love for us, and the more I read it the more I discover it is like a deep, deep ocean that I, no matter how much time I spend in it, will never fully plumb the depths of. In Psalms ch. 119 vs. 105 it says: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. And in Hebrews ch. 4 vs. 12 it says: For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts
