Sometimes, time gets away from us and we forget things. Have you ever forgotten to renew your licence or cancel a subscription? We don’t even want to bring up the forgotten MVI on Angela’s car in 2005. Seriously, I was a little busy building a church. Recently a man in Louisiana was pulled over for…
Jesus Has This
Everything was fine, and then it wasn’t. That is the reality in our world today. Everything was fine, and then it wasn’t. Do you remember when you heard about the Coronavirus? Maybe it was the result of a funny meme on Facebook, or an obscure news story about a city in china that you had…
And Just Like That. . .
And just like that, everything changed. We are living in a very different world then we were a month ago. Over the weekend we noticed how quiet the streets were, and only a third of our usual church family were out on Sunday. On Monday, as is my habit, I worked at A & W…
Blessed # 2
So here we are. Week two of Money Month! In case you weren’t here last week or if you are new to Cornerstone, I made a decision a number of years ago that instead of responding to various financial crisis in the church by preaching on them that I would take one month each year…

Look, a ship
I could hardly believe my eyes. We had just arrived in the port of Aruba and as was my custom I was up early with a cup of coffee doing some writing. And as we came alongside the pier, there it was: The Ryan Leet. Now that might not mean anything to you, and I’m…
Weather we like it or not
Have you picked up on the fact that winter isn’t my favourite season? As a matter of fact winter doesn’t even rank in the list of my top favourite seasons. (which just happen to be summer, summer, summer and autumn) But it’s not just the weather, it’s having to listen to everyone gripe about the…
Giving it up for Lent
So, what are you giving up for Lent? I was thinking of giving up brussels sprouts, Oprah and Barry Manilow music. In some churches that are more traditional than we are, Lent is the 40 days (less Sundays) before Easter and has been seen as a time to fast or give something up for God. …
We Never Learn
I remember when gas first got to the dollar mark. There speculation about how high the price could and would go, the experts spoke about the impact rising fuel prices would have on the economy and anti-poverty groups warned of the consequences the increased heating oil costs would have on the poor. There was a…
