What does it mean to be forsaken by God?

“Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” In the last moments of the crucified Messiah the crowd gathered about Him heard the Christ exclaim those words, meaning “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” But what do they mean, and what is the significance? God created and sustains everything, even those who hate Him. By the [...]

Real worship

We worship God when, while we partake of his good gifts, something occurs in the deepest parts of our soul that forbids terminating on the gift itself or on our enjoyment of it but that runs deeper into and extends out to the Giver.

Welcome Spring (2012)

Finally! Spring is here. 2011 hosted the worst Squamish summer I’ve seen yet; the seasons decided that it was going to skip summer completely, and from spring go straight to autumn. 2011/12 has felt like a pretty long winter. Last Sunday morning I woke up to a light dusting of snow everywhere…  for a moment [...]

I’m not skilled to understand

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands one who is my Savior

I take Him at His word and deed
Christ died to save me; this I read
And in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my savior

That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

My Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God: He was, my God; He is
My God is always gonna be
Aaron Shust
