The God Who is There.
Here’s a great lecture series by D. A. (Don) Carson. He is a prominent New Testament scholar, and a Canadian! I commend this series to anyone and everyone, regardless of where they are in their journey towards or in Christ.

I am the true vine – Jesus.
This will be my first Sunday preaching since Rhonda’s untimely death. I had planned an earlier return to the pulpit at St. George’s but quickly discovered that I just couldn’t do it.

After two stints in China he … Read moreAnglican Heroes – Roland Allen

Only the suffering God can help – Bonhoeffer.
Near the end of WW2 a small scrap of paper was smuggled out of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Nazi prison cell. He had been imprisoned for his participation in a plot to assassinate the Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler; an imprisonment that led to his execution weeks before the end of the war. Bonhoeffer had scratched these words on … Read moreOnly the suffering God can help – Bonhoeffer.
