It just seems to make good sense. Last Sunday Cornerstone decided to embark on another adventure. Over the past several months your leadership team has been investigating ways to reduce our annual $16,000.00 power bill. And this isn’t a new thing, from the first power bill we ever received we have been trying to make…
Let Go of Sinful Anger
Yoda said “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” And Yoda could have been talking about the movie Frozen. Elsa’s fear of losing her sister Ana, led to the explosion that you just saw which ultimately led to the entire kingdom falling…
. . . but doesn’t share well
It was bizarre. The other day I was working at the office annex (Tims), that wasn’t the bizarre part, when I noticed an older gentleman reading his morning newspaper. That wasn’t bizarre either, but after he finished each page he tore it in half and put it in a pile. That was bizarre. Most people…
Let go of Fear

Love thy Neighbour and turn down the Music
“I called the cops on a church!” Well, that made my ears perk up. I was working on my message at a Tim’s in the city the other day when I heard those words. I wasn’t exactly eavesdropping up to that point, but that quickly changed. According to the story that I overheard, the gentlemen…
Worship in Truth
We don’t know the circumstances of her life, or of her social situation. We only meet her because of a chance encounter that she had with Jesus. Jesus and his friends were on their way to Galilee from Judea and on the way they passed by a village in Samaria and while the apostles went…
Look Both Ways. . .
Seriously? A couple of weeks ago I was reading in the paper that city staff had recommended that Halifax should institute a pedestrian safety campaign to help reduce the number of car pedestrian accidents. Seriously? When I was three my mother taught me to look both ways before crossing the street and when I was…
