Church Bells
Country Hills Church isn’t a building with a bell tower, in fact most Evangelical churches have gotten away from using church bells. I was thinking about this recently and wondered 2 things. First, why did churches use bells in the first place, and second I wondered if God was trying to tell me (and you) …
In His Hands
The other day I decided to watch “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” again. If you’re not into those types of movies you might be judging me, but there’s a scene at the beginning that caught my attention. Gandalf the wizard arrives in Hobbiton and Frodo the Hobbit meets him on …
Life
The past few mornings as I’ve spent time with God, walked out my front door, and stared out my office window I’ve been drawn to one reality. Some mornings are rainy, some sunny. Sometimes it’s been warm, and sometimes it’s been cold and dreary. Some mornings I feel rested and ready to go, and others …
Looking OUT for Lent
Lent is a time in the Christian calendar year during the 40 days (not including Sundays) leading up to Easter where people fast and prepare their hearts to celebrate Easter. It tends not to be practiced in many Evangelical churches anymore, but I actually think it’s a good practice of preparation. So I encourage you …
Camp – Attending, Sending, Lending!
Camp has been a significant part of my spiritual journey, and that’s why I want to encourage you to be a part of camping ministries this summer. Whether you send your children to Vacation Bible Camp, Camp Mishewah, or Stayner Camp, or volunteer for a week, or even take your whole family with us to …
Alone
Last week I had one of the oddest experiences of my life. Not bad, just odd. I walked around Canada’s Wonderland ALONE. It wasn’t my plan, it’s just the way it worked out. I was helping with a Music field trip and once the performance was done and the kids were sent off on their …
Potholes
You know one of the worst parts of spring? Potholes. In both 2016 and in 2017 roads in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph have been named in the top 5 worst in Western Ontario. In one case a car caught fire after hitting a particularly bad one – let that sink in… “It caught fire.” …
Sacred Pathways
A couple years ago I took a survey with the rest of the staff to help me understand how I connect with God. It’s based off of a book by Gary L. Thomas called “Sacred Pathways.’ You can take the survey for yourself here northpoint.org/care/pathways This really helped me recognize how I best connect with …
That Night there were Shepherds…
Have you ever felt like a shepherd? if I say it that way then probably not. But what if I told you that shepherds were not high on the social ladder, worked long hours for little pay, and were often looked down upon? Even in the religious scene of the day a shepherd’s place was …
