  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - November 15th - Romans 12:7-8

    Romans 12:7-8

    If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.

    In three of his letters, Paul talks about the gifts that God has given to Christians, and each list is very different. Here and in Ephesians 4 and 1 Corinthians 12, he makes it clear that every follower of Christ has been given a unique gift from God which is vital for the Church, the body of Christ. God gives his gifts according to the needs of the Church, and I am quite sure that if Paul were writing today, he would be keen to add the gift of helping with public address systems and digital technology. The Holy Spirit gives just the right gifts to his Church to enable it to be effective.
    The point that Paul is making here is that once you have found your gift, you need to get on and use it. It isn’t like an award or certificate that you can put on display in a prominent place in your house so you can show off to other people. Gifts are given so that they can be put to good use. There’s nothing more tragic than someone keeping their gift to themselves.
    It is vital that we all know what our individual gift is. I don’t believe for a moment that God wants to keep this a secret from us, so if you can’t immediately identify your gift, I would encourage you to pray about it. Ask God to show you, and remember that gifts change with time and circumstances. As we get older, our strength and opportunities change, so the gift he might give you now may be very different from the gift you used to have. If you don’t hear God telling you what your gift is, I would urge you to talk to a trusted friend about this. I suspect that they will quickly be able to identify it. Whatever it is, remember that God wants you to use that gift wholeheartedly for him.

    Questions

    Do you know what your gift is? If not, what action are you going to take to identify it?

    Prayer

    Loving God, thank you that you have given me a special gift. Help me to use it enthusiastically for you. Amen

  • The Bible Study Hour on Oneplace.com - Preparing for Growth
    Waiting is hard. And it’s harder when you don’t know how long you’ll have to wait. When Jesus left his disciples, he told them their mission. But instead of giving them marching orders, he gave them “waiting orders”: Wait for the Holy Spirit.

  • Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld - The End of the Age: Faithful Until the Kingdom Comes

    Satan demanded to sift the disciples like wheat—so why didn't their faith collapse? Dr. John examines Jesus' warning to Peter about his coming denial and the shocking shift in mission strategy after the Passover, exploring the puzzling command about swords and the practical requirements for sustainable ministry. The message is clear: until Christ returns, faithful followers aren't idle speculators but steadfast servants holding their post, sustained by the intercession of their Saviour.

    The End of the Age: Our desire to see into the future is more than curiosity. We want to know what will happen so we can be prepared. If we know what the weather will be, what the stock market will do or how our job interview will turn out, we can adjust accordingly. In this 10-message series, Dr. John Neufeld teaches on Jesus' words and actions from Luke 21-22. Jesus points to the end of the age and describes what will be. While He doesn't answer our question of "When?", Jesus tells believers how to be ready. If we live as prepared people, the timing of Jesus' return will not catch us off guard.

  • Faith & Finance - What Is Your Time Really Worth?

    It’s one of the most valuable things we have—and one of the easiest to waste. 

    We’ve all heard the saying, “Time is money.” But if that’s true, why do we spend it so carelessly? The truth is, time is worth far more than dollars and cents—it’s the most limited resource God has given us. Learning to steward it well isn’t just good productivity advice—it’s an act of worship.

    If you’ve ever said, “I just need a little more time,” you’re not alone. Many of us feel the pressure of time slipping through our fingers. Ironically, we often spend our days chasing money, status, or success—only to run out of the very thing we were trying to “buy back.”

    We treat time like a renewable resource when it’s really more like a savings account that’s constantly being drawn down. Every hour that passes is one you’ll never get back. Yet our culture tempts us to equate our worth with how much we earn or produce.

    A Biblical View of Time

    Scripture offers a radically different view. In Psalm 90:12, Moses prays, “Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” He’s not talking about counting hours on a clock but realizing that our time is limited—and therefore deeply valuable.

    From a biblical perspective, time isn’t ours to manage however we wish. It’s a gift from God, entrusted to us for His purposes. Just as money and talents belong to Him, so does our time.

    In Ephesians 5:15–16, Paul writes, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.” The original Greek phrase for “making the best use” literally means “redeeming the time”—buying it back for God’s glory. It’s the same word Paul uses elsewhere to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross.

    Christ redeemed us from sin and emptiness, giving our lives eternal meaning. In the same way, we’re called to redeem our time—to invest every moment, conversation, and decision in what will last forever.

    Here’s the catch: if you don’t decide what your time is worth, someone else will. Your job, your phone, your inbox, even social media—all have plans for your time. Unless you set boundaries, your days will fill up with things that seem urgent but aren’t truly important.

    Jesus modeled something completely different. Even with the most important mission in history, He took time to rest, pray, eat with friends, and be fully present with people. He had the margin to be interrupted—to stop for the sick, listen to the hurting, and teach those who were searching. He never rushed, yet He always fulfilled the Father’s will.

    How to Steward Your Time Well

    So how can we live as if our time truly belongs to God?

    1. Reevaluate Your Priorities

    Every decision is a trade. When you say yes to one thing, you say no to something else. Ask yourself, “What matters most in God’s eyes—and am I giving that my best time?”

    2. Measure Time by Meaning, Not Money

    Our culture values time by dollars per hour, but God’s economy works differently. A quiet afternoon encouraging a friend may not pay in cash—but it yields eternal dividends. As Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

    3. Build Margin into Your Life

    Just as financial margin creates freedom to give, time margin allows you to live generously. When you’re not overscheduled, you can pause to listen, serve, or rest. Sabbath isn’t wasted time—it’s holy time that reminds us that God is in control.

    4. Steward Small Moments

    Eternal impact isn’t found only in big events. It’s in the five minutes you pray for someone, the ten minutes you spend in Scripture, or the conversation that points someone to Jesus. As Colossians 3:17 reminds us, “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord
