James 2:23

Direct interchanges between God and individuals don’t occur often in Scripture. But in Abraham’s life, his interchange with God takes the form of a true dialogue, a back-and-forth conversation between friends. But make no mistake—while the two shared this remarkably free exchange, God didn’t become Abraham’s “buddy.” Abraham never lost respect for the Lord’s awesome, holy omnipotence; after all, he built more than one altar for the purpose of sacrificing to the God he worshipped.

Fans of The Chosen will soon have a new place to watch their favourite show.

Dallas Jenkins announced this weekend that they have partnered with Prime Video as their third-party streaming home. 

"I want to let you know after exploring multiple options and taking a long time to explore every option and to think through this and pray through this, we've decided on Prime Video and Amazon MGM studios as the exclusive third-party home of our current show," said Jenkins. 

Canada's annual inflation rate ticked back up in January to 1.9 per cent, Statistics Canada reported on Tuesday. 

Prices got a full month-long effect of the federal government’s tax break but a spike in gas prices to start the year offset the government’s relief, with underlying inflation accelerating.

The agency reported prices at the pump jumped 8.6 per cent year-over-year, in large part because of a 25.9 per cent spike in Manitoba, with the province reintroducing its provincial gas tax after a temporary suspension through 2024.

A new initiative is underway to bring the world together in prayer and worship.

Romans 8:38-39

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
