"We’re here for a good time, not a long time" Hello Saints,  Forty-nine years ago, a song came out by the Canadian band Trooper with the title, “We’re here for a good time, not a long time”; I was thirteen years old! Four years later, another song by a Canadian band Triumph, had the lyrics, “I’m young, I’m wild and I’m free” in it. It

Escape with purpose

Escape with purpose But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer. (Luke 5:16)   Hello Saints, Withdraw? Draw away from people, from life on planet earth, with all of its problems and idiosyncrasies. Draw away from annoyances, demands, expectations, pressure. Draw away from the news, the brokenness of society, the complaining and

Look at the birds of the air

“Look at the birds of the air” (Matt. 6:26) Hello Saints,  I like to spend a lot of time outdoors especially walking, biking or fishing. I love looking at God’s creation for He designed it to reveal Himself – His glory, majesty, attributes and character (Romans 1:20). From the intricacies of the spider’s web to the organization of a

Focus Properly

Focus Properly When I thought how to understand this, it was too painful for me –  Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end. (Psalm 73:16-17)   Hello Chosen Ones! We live in a world of comparisons. Life seems to be a race to be the best, look the best, and have the best. We are often driven to “keep up

Matsa Moments - Pastor Mike

Matsa Moments - Pastor Mike


The Hebrew word “Matsa” means to: find, meet, discover, encounter. It is used in Deuteronomy 4:29 where the Lord says, "But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” Throughout Scripture, there is an invitation from God to find Him; He actually rewards those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6). To see God we must be looking for Him.

This blog is a journal of finding God - discovering who He is; learning more about His character and attributes, as I encounter Him in in His Word and world around me. These posts are theological reflections emerging out of a desire to understand how the Creator interacts with us, His creatures. Hopefully, through these you will see how the Ever-present Holy One also invites you to know Him more.
