Posted on December 15, 2012 by Matt

I’ve been listening to Peter Furler’s On Fire quite intensely the past couple of weeks. Give it a shot, it’s an amazing creation from the former Newsboys front-man. Here’s a taste of the album, Greater Is He…

Scary Dreams

Posted on September 3, 2012September 3, 2012 by Matt

I woke last Friday morning from a scary dream. I was traveling around the downtown Toronto subway system, trying to make my way around the bottom of the U. At some point, I got out of the subway system and started walking on the street. Nothing was scary at this point. I was just trying…

Powerful Last Words

Posted on March 17, 2012 by Matt

I finished the reading the Book of John today and my next chapter in the Book of Psalms was Psalm 22, a Psalm of David, to the tune of “Doe of Morning.” I didn’t plan it but I was instantly piqued by Jesus words on the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken…

Standing for Stephen

Posted on February 26, 2012February 26, 2012 by Matt

Heard this while listening to a James MacDonald sermon today, “Big God, Small Me,” on the account of Paul (formerly Saul) watching over the stoning of Stephen, “You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit! Was there ever a prophet your fathers did…

Sarcastic Jesus

Posted on February 20, 2012February 24, 2012 by Matt

I came across Luke 13:31-34 today, an account of Jesus’ remarks about Jerusalem when he was told to leave because Herod was looking to kill him, At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” He replied, “Go tell that…

Did Jesus wrongly kill the fig tree?

Posted on January 29, 2012January 29, 2012 by Matt

I came across Mark 11:13-14 in my reading today, Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever…

Of Success and Reward

Posted on June 10, 2011 by Matt

Be wary offering your admiration to those who achieve worldly success, by worldly means, from worldly views. As He said, “they have received their reward,” and, again, “your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” mjg/11

Prayers and Promises

Posted on January 15, 2011January 15, 2011 by Matt

Did you know your prayers are already promised to you? Jesus says, in John 14:13-14, “Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” Why, then, have we grown up, from childhood, with…

Posted on December 28, 2010December 24, 2010 by Matt

In the beginning, God created on six different days. On the sixth day, it is written: “And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.” (Genesis 1:31) I’m sure I’m not the only one who has noted that “very good” isn’t “perfect.” Why didn’t He just say it was perfect?…
