Different Bible studies at university started this very week, so my Catholic friend and I got to the cafeteria, ready to lead ours. We had met (with 2-3 more Bible study leaders) last week to do the Bible study ourselves and etc. I did not expect anybody to show up. We have about 100 names [...]

Inter Youth Group
We started the inter youth group (comprising teens from three “churches” in the area) last October and we got used to being half teens (mostly around 16 years old and up) and half leaders at the meetings, so around, 10 people. Last night was quite different.
When we got to the church there was a mom [...]

Under Grace
“… all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death … we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with … you are not under law, but under grace … you also died to the law through the [...]

Grammar
Can you say, “I wish you’ll be happy” ? No. You formulated a grammatical sentence and there is no problem in getting the meaning, but there is a little problem with the use of the word “wish”. You would rather want to say, “I hope you’ll be happy”.
Some Francophone kids produce utterances like that and [...]

This passage is about Satan discussing with his fallen angels if they want to go to war against God or not. Different demons have said different things and here is part of [...]

Well, something funny happened to me today. I say funny, but I felt that it was God being sarcastic with me again. Maybe He wasn’t actually, I am not exactly sure why He is leading me in a certain way and it might not be a joke at all.
Anyways you don’t [...]

Luke 17:3-4
My view of things tells me that if the same person comes to me more than twice and asks for [...]

Back
The holidays are over and I started university again this week. It feels good to start this good old routine again, but it feels strange at the same time since it’s been almost three months since I didn’t have university courses. My internship was very demanding and my holidays were exactly what I needed.
I’m not [...]

Leisure
I am now back in Montréal. Thank you for your prayers. I am rather saddened not to be in 100 Mile House anymore. I miss my family there, the landscape, the quietness of nature, the cheesy stores, the coffee shops and the “holiday feeling” I had.
Something that kept coming back on my mind throughout my [...]
