What is pure? It won’t be long before snow begins to fall. One of the great activities among children, and even adults, is to try and catch a snowflake on your tongue. After all, what could be purer than fresh, falling snow? You might be surprised by the answer. In Christ ... it's you!
Have you ever marveled over that faithful person who sits next to you at church? That's something for which you and I can really kick up our heels. In fact, as Paul goes on to say, “We ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord.” And here’s why.
That rumbling in your stomach? That’s actually pretty handy. So is that parched tongue. Hunger and thirst are actually useful. And so is our hunger and thirst for God's righteousness. They're the rumbling and groaning acknowledgement that apart from God’s righteousness you and I would perish. They lead us to look to God for rescue. And God doesn’t disappoint.
Imitators and imposters. An impersonator is usually someone who pretends to be some one to bring joy to others An imposter, on the other hand, is someone who pretends to be someone else in order to deceive others. And there are plenty of both. When John says that we're children of God it's not a role we play. It's who we are!
Today you and I get to ask Paul about righteousness! And more precisely, "Where did you get that?" On the surface, this may not seem like a very difficult question, but as Paul points out, the answer isn’t always obvious.
Not a paper crown, or a crown of ashes, but a crown of righteousness awaits all who long for our Savior's appearing. Paul looked forward to it. And through faith, so can you and I!
When Paul describes Scripture it’s useful to recognize how remarkable it is to have God’s Word and what it enables us to discover. In the first place, it’s not like any other book that’s come before it or after. As He points out, it's "God-breathed." What does that mean?
Here in the Old Testament Book of Ruth we’ve been given a sepia-toned snapshot from the past. Chances are good you've kept some wonderful picture albums over the years of your loved ones. While some photos fade and disintegrate God ensured that this portrait was preserved for us in Scripture. The Book of Ruth hasn’t been lost in the dust of time and neither has Ruth herself. In fact, Jesus has given us a new way to look at those l...
Have you ever wondered what would happen if the earth’s gravity disappeared for say … a minute. It might surprise you to know that there are those who have set out to answer that question. Have you ever wondered what would happen if the Lord withdrew His love, care and blessings? Then you'll want to hear what the apostle Paul says about it.
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! You may be thinking to yourself, "Well, that's nice for our Canadian listeners, but what about the rest of us around the world? Actually today, this very day, turns out to be a great one for all of us to give thanks. And here's why!
How should you and I react when a friend, or someone you know, claims to have died, seen what’s waiting on the other side, come back and brought a message? Would this help to bring others to faith? Jesus says it won't. However, He does make it clear who and what does.

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
