How it all got started

Everything around us works against reordering and simplifying our lives. Everything! 

Ours is a cluttered, complicated world. God did not create it that way. Depraved, restless humanity has made it that way!

Advertisements have one major goal: to make us discontented, woefully dissatisfied with who we are and what we have. Why? So we will acquire what they offer. And acquire we do! The watchword of our consumptive society is very loud and assertive—more! 

Enough is never enough....

Proverbs 22:6

Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

Many Manitobans gathered at the top floor of The Bay Parkade, 295 Memorial Boulevard, on Sunday evening, for the ANAN Experience.

"The ANAN Experience is an interdenominational gathering. We come together every month to worship the name of the Lord," said Faith, a volunteer with the group.

It was a time of prayer, worship, spoken-word poetry, testimonies, and guest speakers.

Ministers spoke at length about the heart behind the ministry.

"The mission is to proclaim the name of Jesus over our city," said Jeffrey Bergen, a speaker at the event.

A 49-year-old man has been arrested after deliberately setting two separate fires in Winnipeg on Friday, one at his own home and another at a downtown office building, according to the Winnipeg Police Service.

According to a release from the WPS, Jonathan Roger Hein walked into police headquarters around 4:50 p.m. on Friday, August 29 and told officers he had started both fires earlier that afternoon.

Police say the first fire happened at Hein's residence in the 200 block of Pritchard Avenue at 2:42 p.m.

The contest to supply Canada with its next fleet of submarines heated up this week, as Ottawa narrowed down the competition to just two suppliers: a Korean company and a German one.

Here's a look at where the massive procurement project currently stands.

1. Why does Canada need to buy new submarines?

Canada is racing to replace its deteriorating fleet of Victoria-class submarines. The fleet, bought second-hand from the U.K. in 1998, is rapidly aging and are expensive to repair and replace parts.

The federal government needs to amend the Criminal Code so the use of force, including lethal force, is considered reasonable to defend your home and family if someone breaks into it, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Friday.

Poilievre called a news conference in Brampton, Ont., amid an outcry over assault charges that were laid against an Ontario man who encountered another man who allegedly broke into his apartment while carrying a crossbow. 

Peacemakers release tension, they don't intensify it. Peacemakers seek solutions and find no delight in arguments. Peacemakers calm the waters, they don't trouble them. Peacemakers work hard to keep an offense from occurring. And if it has occurred, they strive for resolution. Peacemakers lower their voices rather than raise them. Peacemakers generate more light than heat. 

Blessed are such great-hearted souls!...

Psalm 95:6-7

Come, let us bow down in worship,
    let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
     for he is our God
    and we are the people of his pasture,
    the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice.

The Quebec government says it is planning to ban prayer in public places as part of a move to strengthen secularism in the province. 

The announcement makes good on an idea first mentioned last winter by Premier François Legault, who said he didn't want to see people praying in public parks or on streets.
