  • Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld - The Gospel Alternative for the Cultures of Men: Choosing Our Lifestyle With Wisdom

    In the final message of his series "The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men," Dr. John Neufeld concludes his study of 1 Corinthians 7 by offering practical wisdom for choosing a lifestyle that honors God. He warns against letting marriage become an idol that divides our loyalty to Christ, encourages firm decision-making rather than endless wavering, and reminds believers that marriage brings lifelong permanency. Dr. Neufeld challenges Christians to develop "skill in living" that secures undivided devotion to the Lord.

    The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture. In this three-week series, Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5-7 to explore how the gospel creates a distinct counter-culture in the church. Addressing sexual purity, church discipline, and Christian identity, Dr. Neufeld challenges believers to live faithfully in a broken world—not by condemning culture, but by demonstrating Christ's transforming power through humble accountability, moral courage, and authentic community that offers hope to a watching world.

  • Faith & Finance - What's a Donor-Advised Fund? (And Should You Use One?)

    If you’ve ever wished your giving could be both simpler and more strategic, there’s a powerful tool worth knowing about: the donor-advised fund, or DAF for short.

    Generosity isn’t just about how much you give—it’s about the heart behind it. As Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 9:7, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

    Wise stewardship allows us to align our giving with God’s purposes, using tools that help us maximize our Kingdom impact. A donor-advised fund—when used rightly—can help you do both: give joyfully and steward resources efficiently.

    What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?

    Think of a DAF as a charitable checking account designed to support the causes you care about. You contribute cash, stock, or other assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to ministries or charities on your timetable.

    In other words, it separates the act of giving from the act of distributing. You might contribute during a high-income year or before selling an asset to take advantage of tax benefits, while taking time to decide where those dollars should go prayerfully.

    Behind the scenes, your DAF is managed by a sponsoring organization. At FaithFi, we recommend the National Christian Foundation (NCF)—one of the largest and most trusted Christian providers, founded by Larry Burkett and Ron Blue. NCF handles the record-keeping, issues the grants, and provides online tools to manage your giving.

    Suppose you plan to sell a business or a piece of real estate that would normally result in a significant capital gain. By donating it to your donor-advised fund before the sale, you can avoid paying capital gains tax, allowing more of the donation to go directly to Kingdom purposes.

    You receive an immediate tax deduction for the full value of your gift since it’s considered an irrevocable charitable contribution. The funds can be invested for potential growth while you prayerfully decide which ministries to support—or you can give immediately.

    When you’re ready, you simply recommend a grant, such as $10,000, to your church or a mission organization. The DAF sponsor verifies the charity and then sends the gift—either in your name or anonymously.

    The Benefits of a Donor-Advised Fund

    Donor-advised funds have become the fastest-growing vehicle for charitable giving in America, and for good reason. They combine flexibility, simplicity, and intentionality—all with a focus on Kingdom impact.

    Here are some of the key advantages:

    • Simplicity – One contribution can fund all your charitable giving, with a single tax receipt and one dashboard to track every grant.
    • Tax Efficiency – Receive your deduction when you contribute, not when you give. Donating appreciated assets can help avoid capital gains taxes, increasing the amount that goes to ministry.
    • Flexibility – Give now and decide later where the funds should go, allowing generosity even as you discern where God is leading.
    • Legacy Planning – Name successors—such as children or grandchildren—to carry on your legacy of generosity.
    • Focus on Mission – Since the administration is handled for you, you can focus your energy on prayerfully deciding where to give.
    Important Limitations to Consider

    No giving tool is perfect. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

    • Irrevocability – Once you contribute to a DAF, it’s a completed gift—you can’t take the funds back.
    • Qualified Recipients – Grants can only be made to IRS-approved charities, not individuals or political causes.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - October 31st - Galatians 6:18

    Galatians 6:18

    Dear brothers and sisters, may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

    The story of John Newton is well known. He first went to sea with his father when he was eleven years old and soon became deeply involved in working on slave ships. It was a terrible experience and, after falling out with the crew of the Pegasus in 1745, he even found himself in slavery. Three years later, he was rescued, and on his return home, he read the Bible and became a Christian. He became a Church of England vicar and famously reflected on his conversion in his hymn ‘Amazing Grace’. His life was completely transformed, and he knew that it was entirely down to God’s gracious gift to him. In his latter years, he fought for the abolition of the slave trade.
    The apostle Paul often reflected on the amazing grace of God. The word grace takes us right to the heart of God’s nature. He is a generous God who loves to share his gifts with us, and he did that supremely by sending Jesus into the world to be our Saviour. When he wrote to the Ephesians, Paul said: “We praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins…God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God” (Ephesians 1:6-7; 2:8). God has given us the best gift imaginable, and there is nothing we can do to pay for it or deserve it.
    If you have lived a good life, I’m delighted, but you will never live a life that is so good that you will deserve or earn salvation. It cannot be done. All we can do is recognise that God is incredibly generous and willing to give salvation to anyone who will receive it. No wonder Paul finishes this letter by longing that his friends in Galatia will experience the grace of God for themselves.

    Question

    In your own experience, what is so amazing about grace?

    Prayer

    Loving God, thank you for your incredible generosity. Help me not only to receive your gift but to pass it on to others. Amen
