I spoke with Wes, the new manager of our clothing store, Double Take the other day. He’s been a volunteer at Yonge Street Mission for years, and so he knew that we work with all kinds of people, including people who live on the street. He gave me permission to tell his story.
Wes realized a few

I was once talking to a man from South Africa whose father was a Baptist minster during the apartheid years. Their family lived in a mining town and the labourers at the mine were from 3 different African tribes, each with their own independent language. At one time there was a lot of unrest

I got a picture in my mind from the Lord on the way back from preaching this at McLuney. As believers we have in our hands either healing salve or a bottle of rubbing alcohol. And as we interact with hurting people we either comfort them with salve, or we throw alcohol on their wounds. One makes

I pledged Phi Beta Sigma in college. Everyone has stories to tell of when they were pledging. But the one thing we could be sure of whenever we had a set was that we would be locked up - arm in arm - unified, joined, refusing to let anybody else separate us. Why

A few years ago I was reading a book by Stephen Gaukroger. He tells the story of a New York Methodist minister who saw the need to bring his ‘ninety nine righteous’ sheep back into the fold. He put an advert in the local paper:

I visited a couple one time in their home who complained about a niece who got married. All the invitations were sent out and everything was in order but they never received a thank you card for the gift they sent. They were very upset. I asked them if it was a gift they sent. They said yes.

I was once invited to lay hands on some people who had obeyed to an altar call during an open air meeting. I asked one sick old man whether he believed in Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour and he told me, no. I again asked him if he was ready to receive the Lord Jesus into his life and be saved, and

For me I’d rather go to the appropriate store for the appropriate item - I prefer BJ’s or Sam’s Club for meat because I can get it cheaper in bulk have the butchers cut it up and package it so that I can freeze it when I get home. For fruits and vegetables I plan to eat within a day I’ll go to

We live in a safety first culture. When I was a kid, we didn’t wear helmets when riding our bikes except on the BMX track. I turned out ok. Today we wear seatbelts, have car seats, and heaven forbid that the kids might actually get to ride in the back of a pick up truck. Not only that but cars now
