The wind rises, the waves talk loud, and worries whip across the surface of the soul like whitecaps on ...read more

    One in a series on Rick Warren’s Purpose-Driven Life book. Our mission is to drive with others toward a destination. But between invitation and destination there is hesitation, born of diversion, dissension, and dissipation.

    People who are on a mission move; people who are on a mission let nothing stop them. They are not distracted by side issues, they focus all their energies on getting their mission accomplished. People who are on a mission do whatever it takes to get to their goal. But people who are not on a ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,843 views

    Our career and our families are two potential idols in our lives. But faith helps keep them in proper perspective and enables you to find a balance.

    Last week we started our series on Canadian Idols. We explained that idols are anything in our lives that take the place of God. God alone deserves and belongs in the place of priority in our lives, and when anything or anyone pushes Him aside, that becomes an idol for us. Historically, people ...read more

    Why should someone seek to be filled with the HS? What difference does it really make in a person’s life? Are we supposed to seek something more than forgiveness? Is there more that God wants to do in our lives and through us? Let's look at God's word.

     | 3,122 views

    If we serve the Lord with the impure motive of personal gain, instead of with the intention of leading people to faith in Christ, then we can become self-focused, critical and judgmental of other believers and other churches.

Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4). In ...read more
