In recent years, there has been a need for a balanced, scholarly, and well-researched response to those who argue that there is no future hope for God’s chosen people.

The history of Boulter Gospel Chapel, located about three and a half hours from Toronto, is a very interesting and unique one.

As I opened a book from my library to research a message, I saw this inscription on the inside front cover: “To Bob … with Love in Christ, Bonnie.” Instantly, my mind flashed back 40 years and I began to think of my friend and sister in Christ, and her love for a relatively new […]
“What Difference Does the Fear of the Lord Make?” “The fear of the Lord” is a truth which is often missing in action today. In our local churches, we are often characterized by independence from God rather than dependence upon Him. In short, we notice this both individually and corporately. This explains the rationale for […]

By: Jon Benson The first session of Camp Li-Lo-Li commenced on July 25, 1953. However, as with all great works of God, the process of getting to that first day started many years prior.
