This Christmas season, many stores are boosting their sales with clearance or final-sale items. These items often come with strict policies: no returns, no exchanges—final sale.

It’s a great irony when we recognize that we are the most technologically connected generation, but the most disconnected relationally.

“Lord, if you will give me one more chance to live. I will give my whole life to you.” And then, there was total darkness. 

The birth of Jesus Christ is the greatest demonstration of God’s love and grace. Exchanging gifts is a reminder of this divine generosity, and an invitation to reflect on our lives what God has given us.

This is actually one of my favourite things about God: we were His enemies. And yet, because He understands us so much, He sends advocates to us instead of confronting us directly.

You may be dealing right now with a measure of stress, anxiety or even burnout. Engrossed with assignments, caroling goals and a never ending list of things to do. Amidst the busyness of this season, let’s not forget one of the key messages of Christmas.

Every generation creates slang terms that become popular among the people of its time.  Slang evolves as societies change, often driven by pop-culture, technology, and social movements. 

Have you ever felt like every day is just a routine, and you’re on autopilot? Especially during the cold, dark winter days, when everything seems ordinary—or even burdensome?

The unfolding of God’s miraculous works are often preceded by doubts, fears, and questions.

Maybe this is God’s plan for you to be used as an instrument to come across a soul in need of healing and forgiveness.
