  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - September 4th - Luke 19:5-7

    Luke 19:5-7

    When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. “Zacchaeus!” he said. “Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today.” Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. But the people were displeased. “He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled.

    Everyone loves to be called by name. It is particularly special if you didn’t realise that the person speaking to you knew your name. Clearly, Zacchaeus was not only surprised that Jesus knew his name, but thrilled when he offered to visit his house. This changed everything for Zacchaeus, who realised that he had to turn his life around.
    The fact that Jesus came into the world to save sinners is amazing and wonderful, but it means little until you realise that he is addressing you personally. You matter to God. Incredibly, as Augustine stated long ago, if you had been the only sinner who had ever lived, Jesus would have died for you. As a teenager, I really struggled to believe that I could be that important to God. It seemed so unlikely, but that is precisely the truth that Jesus came to proclaim to the world. That is the good news, and when you accept it for yourself, it cannot fail to turn your life upside down.
    The crowd didn’t approve of Jesus’ choice. They couldn’t believe that he would go to the home of a notorious sinner. They had assumed that Jesus would choose people who they considered to be respectable, not a tax collector who represented everything that was most appalling and distasteful about their society. However, the good news of Jesus knows no limits. He still comes to sinners of all kinds and personally welcomes them to receive the gift of his salvation.

    Question

    If Jesus were walking the streets of your community and looking for a notorious sinner, whose home would he visit?

    Prayer

    Lord Jesus, thank you that you call me by name and that, incredibly, you offer me the gift of new life. Amen

  • Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld - Wisdom Matters: The Wrong Path

    The primary responsibility of educating our children does not lie with schools or churches, but with parents. Home is the classroom of life. Dr. John points to Proverbs as a pattern for parents. We are to pass on to our children wisdom for life. We may speak of the lessons we have garnered over decades, but the wisdom we relay is not our own, but God's. 

    Wisdom Matters: Is it better to be wealthy, good looking, successful, popular or wise? If any Christian isn't sure of the answer, then Proverbs has something to say! In this 10-message series, Dr. John will point us to wisdom that shapes our living. Proverbs doesn't guarantee us wealth or popularity, but it does promise the blessings of God.

  • Faith & Finance - 5 Timeless Principles for Financial Stewardship with Ron Blue

    Some things change with the times—but God’s financial principles never do. They’re not only timeless; they work in every situation, for every person, at every income level.

    Whether you’re barely making ends meet or managing significant wealth, the Bible’s wisdom for handling money is always right on target. Today, Ron Blue will unpack five proven principles for managing your money well.

    Ron Blue is a nationally recognized financial expert, co-founder of Kingdom Advisors, and author of more than 20 books on biblical money management. With decades of experience advising families and leaders, he has dedicated his life to equipping Christians to manage their resources wisely and steward them for God’s kingdom purposes.

    A Lesson From the Senate Floor

    Back in the early 1990s, Ron Blue was invited to testify before a U.S. Senate subcommittee on family and money matters. When asked what advice he would give American families, his response was simple yet profound:

    1. Spend less than you earn.
    2. Avoid debt.
    3. Build liquidity or margin.
    4. Set long-term goals.
    5. Give generously.

    To Ron’s surprise, the senator responded, “That would work for every family—at any income level.” Ron smiled and added, “Yes, Senator, including the United States government.”

    These five principles, he says, are universal. They apply not just to families, but also to businesses, communities, and even nations.

    Principle 1: Spend Less Than You Earn

    This is the foundation of wise financial decision-making.

    It’s the “slow road to wealth,” but it’s also the surest way to financial freedom. This principle enables families to establish stability without pursuing risky shortcuts or falling into the trap of trying to become wealthy quickly.

    Principle 2: Avoid Debt

    Debt can be both a practical and spiritual burden. From a financial standpoint, debt always mortgages the future. Any borrowed money becomes a priority expense—one that takes precedence over all others until it’s repaid.

    Not all debt is created equal—some can be strategic, like a mortgage—but even “good” debt ties up future income and limits financial flexibility.

    Principle 3: Build Liquidity (Margin)

    Margin is what allows families to weather life’s inevitable surprises—a medical bill, car repair, or job loss—without spiraling into crisis.

    People with cash flow margin are always more secure. They know they can meet the unexpected, and that creates peace of mind and security. An emergency fund isn’t just about financial stability; it’s about emotional and spiritual calm when life throws curveballs.

    Principle 4: Set Long-Term Goals

    Short-term thinking often leads to financial stress and impulsive decisions. By setting long-term goals, families can prioritize spending and align their financial choices with their values.

    The longer term your perspective, the better your decision today. Goals give direction and help families measure progress—not just in wealth, but in stewardship and Kingdom impact.

    Principle 5: Give Generously

    Finally, generosity breaks the power of money. Jesus taught that we cannot serve both God and money (Matthew 6:24). By giving, we release our grip on wealth and keep our hearts anchored in Christ rather than in material security.

    Generosity is the only way to break money’s hold on you.

    Timeless Wisdom for Every Household

    Whether you’re just starting your financial journey or seeking a reset, these five principles offer a roadmap to freedom and peace. They are not about complicated strategies or quick fixes—they’re about faithful, steady stewardship rooted in biblical wisdom. 

    If you do these five things, you’ll position yourself for God’s best in your finances.

  • Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast - The Real God - Seeking God, Part 1

    What comes to mind when you think about God? Who do you imagine Him to be? Your answers to these questions are the most important thing about you. Chip explores how our perception of God radically alters our view of reality.

    The importance of this study:

    • “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” -A.W. Tozer, Knowledge of the Holy
    • “We tend, by a secret law of the soul, to move toward our mental image of God.” -A.W. Tozer, Knowledge of the Holy

    How to see the real God, with 20/20 vision:

    Three facts to consider:

    1. God is not LIKE YOU! -Isaiah 40:25-28, Romans 11:33-36
    2. Left to ourselves, we tend to REDUCE God to MANAGEABLE TERMS! -Romans 1:21-23, Exodus 32:1-6
    3. God can only be known as He REVEALS HIMSELF to us! Through:
    • NATURE -Psalm 19:1-2, Romans 1:19-20
    • HIS WORD -John 1:1-4, 5:37-40
    • JESUS, His SON -John 1:14-18, Hebrews 1:1-3

    One question for you:

    • What must I do to see the real God and He really is?

    Answer:

    • SEEK HIM -Jeremiah 29:11-14a

    How?

    • Proverbs 2:1-5
