The anguish of waiting for an announcement isn’t new to any of us. The dreadful silence, the anxiousness, the hopeful prayers, the what if and how come questions, the unknowing…..most of us have been there. When the letter arrives in our mailbox, when the phone call comes, when the doctor emerges…. before we move….we hesitate. [...]

It is at about this point in the season when friends start to ask ARE YOU READY FOR CHRISTMAS? What they mean is: have you finished your shopping / baking / decorating, etc.? And for those [...]

Praying Scripture – Jeremiah 33:3-4
“This is what the Lord says,
he who made the earth,
the Lord who formed it and established it -
the Lord is his name:
Call to me and I will answer you
and tell you great and unsearchable things
you do not know.”
Living Scripture - Psalm 111:10
The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts
have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.
Praying Scripture – Jeremiah 33:3-4
“This is what the Lord says,
he who made the earth,
the Lord who formed it and established it -
the Lord is his name:
Call to me and I will answer you
and tell you great and unsearchable things
you do not know.”
Living Scripture - 2 Chronicles 1:11-12
God said to Solomon,
“Since this is your heart’s desire
and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honor,
nor for the death of your enemies,
and since you have not asked for a long life
but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people
over whom I have made you king,
therefore wisdom and knowledge shall be given you.
And I will also give you
wealth, riches and honor,
such as no king who was before you ever had
and none after you will have.”
Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29
“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the LORD
in the splendour of his holiness.”
Living Scripture - Revelation 22:8
I, John, am the one who heard
and saw these things.
And when I had heard and seen them,
I fell down to worship
at the feet of the angel
who had been showing them to me.
Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29
“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the LORD
in the splendour of his holiness.”
Living Scripture - Revelation 4:9-11
Whenever the living creatures give glory,
honor and thanks to him
who sits on the throne
and lives forever and ever,
the twenty-four elders fall down before him
who sits on the throne,
and worship him who lives forever and ever.
They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
“You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29
“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the LORD
in the splendour of his holiness.”
Living Scripture - Hebrews 12:8-9
If you are not disciplined
(and everyone undergoes discipline),
then you are illegitimate children
and not true sons.
Moreover, we have all had human fathers
who disciplined us
and we respected them for it.
How much more should we submit
to the Father of our spirits and live!
This Easter CFOT Cadets and Officers had the privilege of participating in a variety of Easter activities and services at Corps in Alberta.
Small goups of Cadets/Officers participated in all aspects of the Easter Services and were also able to spend some valuable time with youth groups. In Calgary tradition, some of our CFOT folks were “white hatted” (see photos below). A wonderful time of worship, outreach and fellowship was had by all.
A big thank you to the Alberta Divsion for hosting us! You have been so gracious to us in sharing your ministries, your homes and your hearts with us…
