Here we are, April. At Cornerstone, as most of you know, April signifies the end of our church year and the beginning of a brand new church year and financial year. If you are wondering why April and not December there are probably a couple of reasons. And if you are really interested give me…
Quack
So they fired the Aflac Duck. Well they didn’t actually fire the duck, they just fired his voice. It is kind of an interesting situation. Aflac hired comedian Gilbert Gottfried who is known for his insensitive and offensive humour but then they fired him because he sent a tweet that was insensitive and offensive. Who…
500 Hats
Read from Book. Now let’s be honest today; how many people here had actually heard of “The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins” let alone read it before this morning? I had actually read this book as a child and apparently it stayed with me because the day that I decided to preach this series it…
Peter, Peter Peter.
Peter, Peter, Peter! What were you thinking? $400,000.00 on Black Eyed Peas? How many people were you feeding? It’s not about the money..... well maybe it’s a little bit about the money, but you keep changing your story. You didn’t know. You did know but you didn’t know it was wrong. You did know and…
Lucky or Blessed?
Crazy stuff on the news. In the past three months we have seen flooding of Biblical proportions (their words not mine) in Australia, earthquakes in New Zealand, earthquakes, erupting volcanoes and nuclear accidents in Japan and the U.S. has Charlie Sheen. In a discussion with someone about the weird stuff happening worldwide I mentioned how…
The Cat in the Hat
The Cat in the HatThe Cat. . .in. . .the. . .Hat. The Cat in the Hat is probably the best known of any of Dr. Seuss’s books, with the possible exception of the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, but really most people are more familiar with the Grinches’s Christmas special or movie then they are…
Rollllll up the Rim
As a country, we have now come together for a national season of prayer. Collectively, even though most folks wouldn’t consider Canada to have a national religion, it becomes very apparent at this time of year that we have a common point of faith. I’m not talking about the season of Lent leading into Easter,…
Brothers with different Mothers
Do you know the name “Sayed Mossa”? Well you should, he’s your brother, or at least your brother from a different mother, but you have the same father: God. Mossa is a Christ Follower from Afghanistan who just recently escaped the death penalty. His crime? Becoming a Christ Follower. Sayed, a Red Cross worker, lost…
Healthy Vision
This is week six of our health check series and for me it represents the most frightening topic that I've spoken about since the New Year, and that is optical health. Being very honest this morning the thought of losing my sight is frightening. I tend to be a procrastinator about most things, if my…
I have a bad feeling about this
Can anything good come from this? I think not. Apparently a team of Russian scientist are ready to broach a lake in Antarctica that was been sealed since the last ice age. Reports out of Moscow are that the group has been drilling for weeks to reach the lake hidden 3,750 metres (12,000 ft) beneath…
