Weekly Devotional
Devotional – Secrets
We all keep secrets. What secrets do you keep and when will you choose to reveal them? Joseph of Arimathea had two: He was eager for the kingdom to come and he loved Jesus Christ, whose death had been instigated by the Sanhedrin Council (of which he was a prominent member). By Renee James
Devotional – This is it!
What has He told you that you’ve forgotten . . . because so much in this world conspires to make you believe that the hope and healing for which you long is both improbable and impossible? A Thanksgiving devotional by Renee James
Devotional – The Sound of Silence
At the July 2015 Pan Am Games held in the Greater Toronto Area, CBWOQ women (and men) took part in silent stand-ins. Being silent was the most difficult requirement for many. But silence was at the core of our strategy: We wanted to raise awareness simply by standing silently in an atmosphere of love and non-violence. And we hear the sound of silence running through Luke 23: 13 - 25. By Renee James
Devotional – Summer
Summer is such a wonderful time to reflect on God's majesty, especially if you go to Ontario's near north. By Cheryl Hughes.
Devotional – Stop, Think and Thank
Colour makes my heart sing. Seeing splashes of turquoise mixed with purple and fuchsia in flowers, sunsets and fabric does something to me. By Cheryl Hughes, Lorne Park Baptist Church.
Devotional – Where Else Should I Be?
As I wandered home, I thought about the man's comments. Where else should I have been? I am sure I could have found other things do that afternoon – things less messy, noisy and exhausting. I could probably have found situations where a person holding a masters of divinity degree “should be.” By Linda Wolfe
Devotional – Weeds
Amongst the beauty in our lives there are weeds. They are colourful and initially they even look good. Allowed to grow they gradually take the place of the beauty. Trying to get rid of them is painful and is not easily accomplished
Devotional – New Growth
Darkness creeps in so easily. Do I really want to miss out on a whole season of God working in and through me because I chose to live in darkness of my own making? Certainly not. I'd much rather be a John 3:21 woman. By Cheryl Hughes
