Summertime in Ontario

Over the summer months I have traveled throughout Ontario preaching camps and church services. Both I enjoy! There is a fresh hunger for God that needs to be feed and fuelled by those of us in leadership. The resurgence of worship is fantastic but cannot replace our love for the Word of God, spoken or read. We cannot simply be in love with worship and not the Word.

Two sentences now burned in my heart, from two men during altar conversations, “I have been in the church for thirty years and this is my first time at the altar.” The other, “This is the first time in months, that someone has prayed for me in tongues.” I know I’m old and have been in ministry for decades and things change. I get it! But the need for altar calls and Holy Spirit are still an absolute for today.
