From Pandemic to President – Standing Firm in God’s Peace

In 2020, an unknown virus, COVID-19, gripped the world with anxiety. We remember it as if it were yesterday. Governments were overwhelmed, experts were sounding the alarm, and hearts were filled with uncertainty. Now, in 2025, a new wave of fear is sweeping through. This time, the virus isn’t biological, but political. Its name … you may already guess it. Some see it as a threat, others as a solution. January 20th was the inauguration of the new President of the United States.

Have a Blessed Ancient, Weird, and Reformed Advent!

George Sinclair

There is a hunger in many Canadian Christians for practices which are truly old. So, why don’t you consider using a cycle of Bible reading and prayers for Advent which is both truly ancient and also reformed by the gospel? I am not a scholar, just a pastor, but my understanding is that the season of Advent goes back to the 300’s. The following Advent Bible texts and prayers are not that old but almost! Even better, up until about the 1970’s they were widely used. In 1073 the Sarum Missal was put together. This included, among other things, assigned...
