Dear LifeSpring Family, A few days ago, I was revisiting this liturgy for Seasons of Uncertainty. It helped me to center myself on our true North, our Lord Jesus Christ. Praying that we are taking this one step backward in the COVID situation in order to take two steps forward. Listen to what Holy Spirit wants to say to you as you meditate on this prayer below with our heavenly Father. In the midst of whatever follows, O Lord,let me…

Dear LifeSpring Family, Happy New Year to 2022!!! Happy because of 1 Corinthians 11:23-26: 23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this; in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This…

Jesus Made Every EffortFor You!!! The Temptation of Jesus4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word…

Dear LifeSpring Family, The speaker at Power To Change chapel last week spoke on Luke 17:11-19. Most of us are familiar with this passage of our Lord Jesus Christ healing the ten lepers.  Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers11 On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,[a] who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” 14 When he saw them he said to…

Dear LifeSpring FamilyAs we have been on this journey of maturing together, scripture memory is one key tool and exercise that helps me in my growth.  Not too long ago, Andrew suggested and submitted 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 to the pastoral team to memorize. Looking back, it might be Andrew was preparing for marriage when he submitted this verse to the team. While 1 Corinthians 13 is often associated with weddings and marriages, it is actually God’s directions on how to live…

Dear LifeSpring Family, This past Sunday, I was given the privilege to preach at Mississauga LifeSpring Christian Fellowship. It is always an encouragement to Dorothy and me to attend and fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ there. As I shared on the Three Biblical Thanksgiving Principles of : It is a choice It is unconditional It is good for you. We were encouraged by our brothers and sisters there. Encouraged because we get to witness over many years…

Dear LifeSpring Family, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,” Colossians 3:23 (NIV) In the middle of preparing my sermon for this coming Sunday’s Thanksgiving service, the Lord brought Colossians 3:23 to mind. The question of quality and excellence in my preparation challenged me. Am I going to practice this skill and attitude in my preparation or am I going to be a “game player” that relies and…

Dear LifeSpring Family, Ever since the vaccine for Covid-19 became available, there has been much said, written, and posted about whether one should vaccinate or not. In the past several weeks up to today, I have had several discussions about the merits of one or the other. Today I had lunch with a colleague of mine from FamilyLife Canada, who has decided not to be vaccinated. And around dinnertime, I made a call to our dear friends in Kelowna out…

I just celebrated Dorothy’s 60th birthday and was so thankful to God for His provision, protection, and blessing upon Dorothy’s life. A day later, I walked over to make payment to the two teenage boys who mow our lawn. Their mother answered the door and I was a little startled. I apologized for waking her up from her afternoon nap. But her response totally caught me off guard. “I am not doing well, Jerry. I was diagnosed with cancer, had…
