Do you actually believe it?
![](https://pacificdistrict.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/38970366_s.jpg)
This was the question being posed to me and other pastors and ministry leaders at a conference I attended not too long ago. This question resonated with me and bounced around my mind and soul, ringing loudly in my ears: “Do I actually believe it?” Every week I teach the good news of Jesus Christ […]
A Cry for Dry

The unmistakable earthy smell of rain was in the air and lightning flashed across the evening sky. SeAn dropped to his knees and cried out to God, “Oh Supreme Ruler of the Earth and sky, I ask you to hold the rain from my land, but if you don’t, You are still my God.” SeAn […]

I have recently become a Montreal Canadiens fan and am well on my way to being a devotee (despite elimination in the playoffs). I was in Quebec recently with our friends at Alliance Chrétienne et Missionnaire de Rimouski. At dinner I found myself smack in the middle of a conversation bordering on a historical accounting […]
Under and Over

“I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus…preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with complete patience and teaching.” 2Tim 4:1-2 (ESV) I was asked to fill out a survey recently. The survey was for a course that was to be attended by […]
Darkness and Light

I have always found the words of Psalm 139 disconcerting, “even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.” But, these words have become very personal for me. A number of years ago, after a joyful season of ministry, my wife and […]
The Blame Game
![](https://pacificdistrict.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/11635597_s.jpg)
How do you respond when others start blaming you for results or experiences that are not what they had hoped for? All of us have had experiences where something has gone wrong or has resulted in an undesirable outcome, and the response of others was to lay the blame on us. We ourselves have probably […]
Space for God

My name is Kurt Peters. I serve as an International Worker in Spain with the Christian & Missionary Alliance, and I am passionate about living and operating out of a listening posture in my relationship with God. Several years ago I was experiencing the paradox that many of us encounter, where my life and ministry […]
Toward Fearless
![](https://pacificdistrict.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/63358174_s.jpg)
While reflecting on Luke 1 recently, I was struck by Zechariah’s words at the birth of his son John (the Baptist) when the Lord loosed Zechariah’s tongue after his months of disciplinary silence. As his speech gave expression to his rejoicing heart, he celebrated all the dimensions of the Lord’s salvation that had arrived with […]
