Luke 14:33

Jesus' words are neither complicated nor vague. He simply says, "If you are going to call yourself one of My Disciples, you must release your grip on materialism."

To keep all this in proper perspective, think of it this way. He is not saying that we cannot possess anything, but things must not be allowed to possess us. To use His words, we must "give up" our possessions.

Corrie ten Boom, that saintly lady who endured such brutality from the Nazis in Ravensbruck during World War II, once said that she had learned to hold everything loosely in her hand.

Several families and friends gathered at St. Vital Park for a Family Funday hosted by Dominion Sanctuary Parish.

The day was filled with laughter and smiles, with delicious food, fun activities, and exciting games for people to enjoy.

Although the day was organized by Dominion Sanctuary Parish, it was free and open to all.

"It's for everybody, that's why we came to the park so we can go around and invite people to join us," explained Lead Pastor, Olufemi Oshinowo.

Attendees shared the highlights of their time at the event.

Dozens of people attended the yard sale hosted by The Wave Church, 364 Furby Street, on Saturday morning.

The yard sale had clothing, footwear, and household items for sale. The sale was held to raise money for the Women Everywhere Conference, which is held by The Wave Church on a biannual basis.

The sale was volunteer-run and organized, and the items sold were donated.

"The items come from donations, and most of us volunteers are members of the church," said Josephine, a committee member of the Women Everywhere Conference.

The 2025 wildfire season is already one of the worst on record for Canada and there is a high risk that more fires will break out in August, federal officials said on Friday.

More than 5.5 million hectares of land have burned so far this year, more than double the 10-year average for mid-July.

That is still well behind the record fire season in 2023, when more than 6,000 fires burned more than 15 million hectares of land.

There were 561 fires burning as of Friday, including 69 that were considered out of control.

The Supreme Court of Canada on Friday upheld the sentence handed to one youth offender but overturned another, in parallel judgments that clarify the standard courts should use when determining whether a youth should be sentenced as an adult.

In the two separate cases, the youth, who were 16 and 17 years old at the time of their offences, were convicted of first degree murder and sentenced as adults to life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years.
