This is week four of our Foreign Exchange series. If you haven’t been with us during March or if you are new to Cornerstone, I will bring you up to speed. I decided that instead of preaching about money when we were behind or there was a financial crunch or crisis in the church, which…
Justice or . . .
Sixteen lives were lost and other lives were changed forever. Families were shattered, a nation was heartbroken and now justice has been served. Or has it? That afternoon sixteen members of the Humboldt Broncos died because twenty-nine-year-old Jaskirat Singh Sidhu failed to stop. There was a stop sign and a flashing light, apparently Sidhu didn’t…
Using Foreign Currency
Peter just shook his head. All they wanted was money. Couldn’t they see the bigger picture? That there was more at stake than just money. They had just arrived back in town and before they could even get settled the church was there with its hand out. Well, it wasn’t actually the church, but close…
The Forgotten Ones
It was a tragedy. Fifty people killed because of the faith they practiced. You would think that would be a newsworthy event. Apparently not. You’d think maybe such actions would be condemned by political and religious leaders. Again, apparently not. The silence around the event has been deafening. And you are thinking: Oh no Denn, there…
Just be on Time
I have a confession to make, this might shock you, but I hate when things start late. Hate might be a little strong. Nope, that’s pretty much spot on. While we were on vacation, we went on an excursion that was late from the beginning. Two ladies were late getting to the starting place, so we…
Foreign Exchange: A Better Exchange
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…
Foreign Exchange: Intro
Through the 58 years of my life I’ve had the opportunity to live in 4 different countries and have visited 5 African Countries, 7 European Countries, and another 15 countries scattered throughout the Caribbean, Central America and South America. And the one thing that have in common of course is money. Now, their money might…
Another Shortage
It’s one of those crises that sneaks up on you. I guess I had never really thought about it before and then I read a newspaper article highlighting the magnitude of the problem and I was horrified. Who would have thought that it could actually come to this? Certainly not me. Forget about how much…
Mistaken Identity
It just took two digits and all of a sudden I wasn't who I thought I was. I was topping up my “Mac Pass” at their office and the “customer service” rep informed me that either my pass didn't belong to me or I wasn't who I said I was. Well, I knew the pass…
I’m Somebody!
I was at the Blue Cross office the other day when I was greeted with a smile by a strange lady. By strange I mean she was a lady I was not acquainted with, not necessarily a peculiar lady. Although not being acquainted with her she may have been strange and strange. Although I digress.…
