A Christmas Without Christ

Have you noticed that every year people seem more intent on secularizing Christmas?   They wish you a “Happy Holiday” or “Seasons Greetings” they have presentations at school that make no mention of the manger or the Wise Men let alone the Christ Child.  Now I may be a little overly sensitive but somehow I think…

Big Brother. . .

I received a letter in the mail the other day from the KIA dealer inviting me to trade my 2011 Rav4 in on a new KIA.  So how did the KIA dealer know that I own a 2011 Rav4?  When I open my browser I’m undulated with ads about things I have shown an interest…

Let Go of Stupid

(Start with clip from frozen: Elsa song “Let it Go”) That clip really didn’t have anything to do with today’s message, there just wasn’t anything suitable for today’s message and figured that was the title of the series we should tie it in. Last week it was announced that a colleague of mine had confessed…

They will know you by. . .

If it was attention that he wanted he certainly got it.  If you’ve been following the news lately, you have probably heard the name Franck Gervais.  He was the man who showed up at the Remembrance Day service in Ottawa in full military regalia claiming to be a retired member of an elite unit in…

Let Go of Untruths

(Begins with clip from Frozen where Hans tell the Leaders that Elsa has killed Ana) A couple of weeks we got a glimpse into Han’s character when we watched him reveal his duplicity to Ana, his fiancé.  It appears that he wooed her simply to become Prince and then kill the queen to assume the…

Lest We Forget. . .

So what did you do on Tuesday?  It was a beautiful day and for most of us a holiday, and I would suspect that a lot of yard work got done.  But the reason we were given a day off was not to rake leaves as appealing as that may seem.  Tuesday of course was…

Let Go of Unbelief

 (begin with video clip from Frozen Elsa and Ana in the palace discussing it becoming like it was, ends with Ana being struck.) You ever find it difficult to believe?  In the clip that we just watched Ana is trying to convince her sister the queen that everything will be all right and they can…

Yuck or Maybe Not

Tuesday was garbage day in our subdivision and as I drove to work I noticed how unsightly it was. There were green bags, blue bags, household rubbish and a toilet at the ends of the driveways lining Kingswood Drive.   Most garbage days I don’t really notice how nasty it looks, it’s become normal.  But it…

Let Go of Sin

(Clip from Frozen when Hans tells Ana he doesn't love her)   Wow, that wasn’t where I thought that would go.  Didn’t see that coming, through the movie Hans has been the dashing hero, wooing Princess Ana and exhibiting heartfelt concern for the Kingdom and people of Arendelle and now he is revealed as a cad. …
