Lest We Forget

This week I had the privilege for the 1st time to be involved in a Remembrance Day ceremony on November 11th. I was invited by the town of LaSalle to be the minister at the LaSalle ceremony and to bring prayers, scripture readings and spiritual insight regarding Remembrance Day. It was a truly moving and wonderful experience to be a part of and really brought back to the forefront of my mind the significance of the day and how we really tend to lose sight of how precious our freedoms are. As children and teens from the local LaSalle schools joined veterans and other members of the community we all came together and paid our respects to those who paved the way of freedom for us in Canada. I later found out the one of the scripture readings i used taken from Psalm 72 was actually used for inspiration when our country was originally named "The Dominion of Canada". Quite fitting I thought. And as the war bomber flew over during our moment of silence there wasn't a person there whose heart wasn't tugged by emotion. I must admit I do forget, but after Tuesday's event I think I will remember more frequently to thank God for those who gave their lives for me, and pray for the safety of those who are still putting their lives in harms way even now. Let's not forget.

Generosity

Why is it that the term Generosity is hailed up there with being a Mother Theresa? If you Google Generosity and look for stories about people being generous these days the stories make these people look so out of the norm. But why?
Did God not create us to be a generous people?
Did God not create us to live out our live in a generous culture?
Then why is generosity so unbelievable to see in today's society?
Our local news paper runs a story on a family with no money and a house with a broken furnace, leaky roof, and many other problems that gets turned down by a government sponsored loan agency to fix houses just like this. We aren't surprised. We are surprised when 2 days later the followup story talks about a local company donating and installing a new furnace for this family for free.
Where did we go wrong? How did it get like this?
I think it all goes back to the garden in the beginning of Genesis.

@ LifeLine Church we're gonna spend the next 5 weeks looking at this whole Generosity and Culture thing, and see if we can figure out a way to fix the problem and get back to living the way God intended... "In The Beginning"

New Series Coming Soon...

Our Newest Message Series "Dealing With Life's UGLIES" kicks off on Sunday April 6 @ 10am.
Be sure to join us for this 5 part series talking about many of the issues we all deal with in our own life on a daily basis and just can;t seem to get a handle on. Topics like Anger, Loss & Grief, Hatred, Doubting and Fear will be addressed throughout this series, and I'm sure 1 if not all of those topics will hit home to each of us if we are honest with ourselves.
Join us and take a look at what the Bible has to say about how we can effectively deal with some of these "Uglies" in our lives.
