"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, 'The righteous shall live by faith.'" - Romans 1:17
Happy Reformation Day!
Jesus could have come down from the cross. He stayed because of his love for his bride, the church.

Don’t think that you need to take the first pastoral call that comes along. Don’t wait for a perfect one, either. Dr. Paul Ipema on discerning a call between paralysis and presumption, and on how prayer exposes whether fear or ambition is steering.

"Christians around the world watch with dismay and grief the cruel assaults against Christians in the Middle East. Yet Christ remains an “eternal King, which without subjects He cannot be” (Belgic Confession, Art. 27). The confession goes on to say, 'And this holy Church is preserved or supported by God against the rage of the whole world; though it sometimes for a while appears very small, and in the eyes of men to be reduced to nothing.' Devils and magistrates may strike out against Christ’s Church, but in the end 'their rage we can endure' (in the words of Luther’s great hymn). We pray for justice and for peace, knowing that in the end our eternal King will hear us and bring a lasting victory and an enduring peace."

Congratulations to 2026 MARS graduate Zeke McMurtry, who sustained his candidacy examination on Tuesday at Classis Western Canada (part of the URCNA) in Abbotsford, BC. Thanks be to God! Please pray for Zeke as he awaits a call.
What if your church started inviting people over regularly? Good? God-honoring? Yes.
Hospitality is something every Christian can do, and it’s one way the whole church reaches out.
