Cross Your Jordan
Cross Your Jordan

We came to Lacombe, Alberta with less than one hundred dollars in cash, and that was it. Our “river to cross” was that we needed to find a place to rent to stay immediately. We kept praying, and God impressed us to step into the proverbial Jordan River and cross it! We called the owner, and he said…

In the spring of 2017, Mom was still at home, which is exactly where she wanted to be. I did my best to honor that, but I was cracking. Working a full-time job, commuting every weekend from where I lived, taking care of grocery shopping, doctor’s appointments, etc., I was getting physically, mentally, and spiritually weary. I was trying to control things and failing...

I’ve always enjoyed the hearty nutty flavors of wild rice and it works well with the sweetness of the corn and slight tang of the lime. There are a lot of flavors and textures to explore in this dish and it can be consumed as a main course or try it with a green salad, sandwich, or soup.

A couple years ago, I was on a flight to Boise, Idaho, and by providence, I happened to sit next to a certain woman, and we struck up a conversation. She explained how she loved reading the New Testament, except the Book of Revelation. I inquired why. She said it is very cryptic and scary, and impossible to understand. I asked her if I could...

“Did I just dream that or did that really happen?” I thought to myself. That was so real! Everything I saw was colorful and like it was actually happening. Has this ever happened to you? A few weeks ago, I had a dream that I’ve often...

A New Perspective
A New Perspective
Melissa Barclay · Dec 30 4 minute read

My church has a presence in these countries, but at this time no one was talking about the mission fields in the first world. Over the next few years, I began to see how our country is gradually following Europe into the same secularism, although maybe 15-20 years behind. Through this process, it has become a practice to observe and ask what can be learned for...

A quiet man nearing retirement ambled up to me after the service. He looked both ways to make sure no one was listening. “If God could speak through Darla today, do you think He might be able to speak through me?” he asked timidly. Two weeks later, he was...

Following the Son

Sunflowers are unique in that they follow the sun. In the morning, they face the sunrise. As the sun moves across the heavens during the day, the faces of these flowers are always looking at the sun. In the evening, when the sun dips below the horizon, sunflowers eke one last glimpse of the golden orb in the west.
