Verse of the Day: September 26
Hebrews 10:30-31
For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Psalm 31:14-15
In September, Terry Shafer was strolling the shops in Moline, Illinois. She knew exactly what she wanted to get her husband, David, for Christmas. A little shop on Fifth attracted her attention, so she popped inside. Her eyes darted toward the corner display. "That's it!" she smiled as she nodded with pleasure. "How much?" she asked the shopkeeper.
"Only $127.50."

Conservative non-confidence motion defeated; government survives
The Liberal minority government has survived a vote of non-confidence in the House of Commons by a count of 211-120.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre put forward the motion asking MPs to declare they did not have confidence in the prime minister or his government.
Poilievre failed to get the support of other opposition parties to bring the government down.
The Bloc Québécois and the NDP voted against the motion.
If the non-confidence motion had passed it would have defeated the government and very likely triggered an immediate election campaign.
Two Canadians dead in Lebanon as MPs ponder evacuation and Israel mulls invasion
At least two Canadians have died in the escalating violence in Lebanon, which has members of Parliament discussing a possible evacuation of Canadian citizens from the country.
"We are devastated by the loss of two Canadians, but the entire Lebanese people are (also) suffering right now — women, children, innocents," said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
"This is a horrific situation," he told reporters on Parliament Hill, repeating his earlier calls for both Israel and Hezbollah to de-escalate.
