Moving Outside the Lines

"Would I be welcomed? I don't know if I have the right clothes?" These were a couple of the questions that arose from a recent conversation. I had noticed "H----" through the locked double glass doors of our church facility. He had wedged his overflowing shopping cart of belongings between the utility shed and a parked car. He was sitting on the ground, rifling through some of his "stuff". I could see that he was angry. He was shouting at no one in particular and pounding his fist into the pavement of our parking lot. To be transparent, my first thought was "just stay inside". I'm thankful that my life doesn't move on first thoughts. I am more thankful for the impression of the Spirit of Jesus, to compel me to go out to him...or should I say, to be received by him: I assured him that he wasn't in trouble and that I could see that he was distressed and just wanted to find out if there was something I could do to help. I gave him...

Prayer: The Steam Engine of Leadership

CNR Steam Engine 6069 was built in 1944, it was one of 20 Mountain class steam engines used across Canada. Its last run was in 1963. It is one of three that remain, and has been painstakingly restored and moved to a historical site in Sarnia, ON. photo credit: Fred A Collins Jr. (Flikr) It serves as an imposing and beautiful reminder of power and possibility that served to share resources, connect a country and mobilize people. To stare at the unique majestic design, described by the Sarnia Historical Society in this way: “One of the Mountain class’ distinctive features is its unusual 4-8-2 wheel configuration, with four non-powered leading wheels for steering and stability, eight large driving wheels for motive power, and two non-powered trailing wheels for support and stability.” Power. Possibility. Stability. Prayer is our relational communication with Our God. Prayer, like the steam engine that propelled these historic trains, provides God’s power, to bring about ...

Navigating Troubled Waters

The theme of the 59th Annual National Prayer Breakfast was "Bridge Over Troubled Waters." The event was held in our nation's capital, Ottawa, at the Shaw Centre, just steps down the street from the iconic parliamentary buildings. This year's event attracted over 800 people to the Leadership Dinner on the Monday night and over 1300 people to the Tuesday morning breakfast. Both figures are considered to be new standards of excellence for this event. The National Prayer Breakfast is hosted by the Parliamentary Prayer group - it's a non-partisan group that meet together every Wednesday morning at 7:00am for prayer, bible study and mutual encouragement. It's not publicized or politicized. It is open to all parliamentarians, and has representation across political party lines. This also becomes one of the keys to the captivating culture of these events. There is a unity of purpose that exists that is hard to duplicate in another setting where politicians of diff...
