For all those confused guys out there, this should clear things up.
Our good friends Titus and Stephanie, working with street kids in Guayaquil , are living through some CRAZY and FRUSTRATING experiences in Ecuador. (And to think I can get upset when someone steals my parking spot). I'd encourage you to check out...
Found this over at the HarborChurch blog by Matt Dirk (the fact that I'm linking to a soundbite-ish quote probably just goes to prove his point) : Nicholas Carr writes this in The Atlantic: I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most...
Over the last two weeks in our church in St Jérôme, one family gave birth to twins while another lost triplets. Other families are pregnant as I write this post. Problems in pregnancy are on the minds of many in our congregation. Our daughter, Constance...
Montreal finished #1 in the east. The playoffs are on. The madness has begun. In Quebec, when Montreal has a good team, even round 1 of the NHL playoffs is crazier and more popular than the Superbowl in the U.S. In 1998 I witnessed firsthand France's...
Wednesday (tomorrow) at " Le Lounge " (a local college outreach) we will be discussing the following topic: Sex: Is God for or against our sexual pleasure? Already it seems, many new students have been invited to this discussion. I'll present...

For the three of you who care, this is blog post #100 on our World Venture blog (I ate a cookie in celebration). Two feet of snow in one night...I always dreamed of winters like this growing up in snow-poor western Oregon. We are now officially about...
Trevin Wax posted this video from the popular TV show, "ER." The episode is on atonement, and a dying man confronts the platitudes of a liberal chaplain. At one point he says, "I want a real chaplain who believes in a real God and a real...
This sermon, entitled "Exclusivity" by Tim Keller , pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, comes from the new website The Reason for God . Even though he is a presbyterian, all content from either Tim Keller or Redeemer Presbyterian...
I recently dealt with something I should have dealt with a long time ago.. I know, I know, it is a weakness. It is something that has been impeding my growth here in Quebec and many people will fault me for it. That's okay, I'm a big boy now,...
She loves Jesus. She is outspoken about her faith and full of compassion. She spent most of last summer working with many of the underprivileged in Haiti. She would love nothing more than to see the few thousand students at her Cégep see the love of Jesus...
