2 Corinthians 4:1-7

In his fine little volume In the Name of Jesus, Henri Nouwen mentions three very real, albeit subtle temptations any servant of Christ faces. They correspond with the three temptations our Lord faced before He began His earthly ministry. They also fit with three observations the Apostle Paul mentions in his letter to the Corinthians (2 Corinthians 4:1-7).

First Temptation: To be self-sufficient and self-reliant. Instead of being so self-assured, we need to be open, unguarded, and vulnerable.

A man is dead following a confrontation in the hallways of an apartment building in the city's North End on Wednesday afternoon.

The Winnipeg Police Service says that around 12:30 p.m., North District General Patrol officers responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a man armed with edged weapons at a building in the 800 block of Main Street.

Acting Chief Art Stannard emphasized that all reports consisted of people saying the man was swinging an edged weapon and banging on different doors.

The RCMP are thanking the public for assistance in locating a missing teenager. 

The missing 14-year-old female has been found safely. 

Children living in Tuxedo will soon have a new place to play. 

The Manitoba government announced Tuesday, that they plan to construct a new playground near the Edgeland, a Manitoba Housing complex in Tuxedo, that contains 124 rental units and one commercial unit.

"Public playgrounds play a vital role in connecting families and friends,” said Premier Wab Kinew. “We are committed to working with the children in Tuxedo to get this important project done. By working together, we can create a place for families and children to gather and get active.”

A fire Tuesday afternoon caused significant damage to a home near Valley Gardens.

The fire broke out just after 1 p.m. in a single-family bungalow in the 1000 block of Simpson Avenue.

Heavy smoke was pouring out of the house when crews arrived. Firefighters began battling the fire from inside the home. It took about a half hour to get under control.

Residents of the home were able to evacuate before crews arrived. One person was assessed at the scene but did not require a trip to the hospital.

As war spread in the Middle East on Tuesday, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly "unequivocally" condemned Iran's move to fire dozens of missiles into Israel and called for no further escalation in the war from all sides.

Joly also begged Canadians in Lebanon to leave immediately as Israel began what it is calling a limited ground operation against Hezbollah targets in the southern part of that country.
