The Reno

The Reno Hello Saints, There is a fascination these days with taking something old and decrepit and turning it into something beautiful that causes the owner and onlooker alike to marvel and gasp with delight at the transformation that has happened before their eyes. From the old piece of furniture or rusted out car, to the complete makeover of

Be ye separate!

Therefore "Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you." (2 Corinthians 6:17)   Hello chosen ones! It’s been an interesting time downsizing and purging to fit into our new accommodations. It is amazing to me how much money one has to spend to “get rid of

Praise the Lord!

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! (Psalm 150:6)   Hello Saints, I can’t get it out of my mind…I went to bed with it in my heart and I woke up with it on my lips. What is it? It’s the line from the song we sang in church yesterday: “as long as I’m breathing, I’ve got a

The Sunset

The Sunset  “From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the LORD is to be praised.” (Psa. 113:3) Hello Saints, It is really something to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, and retreat away from the metaphorical rat race that is North American life. Working, busying oneself with a burden of meaningless,

The Keys

THE KEYS Well it happened; don’t know how, don’t know when…but it happened. A crazy weekend of moving, box after box, item after item, unloading load after car load, and somewhere in that folly, I did it; at least I think it may have been me; maybe it was her…yes it had to be her…although it was probably me,

On the move

On the move  “Go” Hello Saints, In 4 days we move…again! I admire those and am maybe a bit jealous of those who remain in one place for a long time. Same house for 50 years or more! Wow…that would be nice! I can’t even count the times I’ve had to move in my life. It seems more and more normal nowadays

Let us work while we still can

"We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work. (John 9:4)   Hello Saints, John 9 has always fascinated me. It is filled with conflict and theological angst. The scene is Jerusalem after the Feast of Tabernacles, a great Jewish celebration which started back in chapter 7. Opposition

Prayer is His delight

The prayer of the upright is His delight (Prov. 15:8)   Hello Children of God,   What is prayer if not communion with the Father? Is it not a child talking to His Father, laying before Him the requests, desires of the heart? Does it even have to be a son or daughter always asking for something; can prayer not be merely expressing

Saved to shine

“But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.” (Prov. 4:18)   Hello Saints, Twenty-four years ago, at this very time of year, I was visiting my in-laws up in northern Ontario. It was a Sunday morning, and after the church service there was a reception in the

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.
