About Me

Who do I think I am?

The song "Nobody" by Casting Crowns tells it best.

"'Cause I'm just a nobody  

Trying to tell everybody  

All about Somebody who saved my soul"

 

Vision

Through this site I want to share with you my life and the peace, freedom and joy I found in God, in hopes that you will be encouraged to look deeper and taste and see how good God is.

There is so much good and bad content on the internet. Often the good content is difficult to find as we are flooded with so much data. I hope to provide a place with good content. A resource place to encourage you to dig deeper into the things that matter, and a place where you'll be inspired and enjoy the beauty and wonder of life that is all around us. I want to share with you different things that interest me from gardening, kitchen recipes, sewing and movies, to my travel adventures and ministry work, but most importantly I want to share with you the insights I'm learning on this journey of life in hopes it will help you along your journey.

Why choosewisdom.ca?

The reason I chose this domain name "Choose Wisdom" is because of the following verse.

Proverbs 9:10

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
    and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."

To fear God is to respect and obey him, and that is a choice. We can choose to be for God or against him; we can choose wisdom or not. There is evidence of this as you look at the world and see not so wise choices people are making.

Also, God promises in James 1:5, if we lack wisdom, we should ask God, and it will be given to you. We don't have to do it all on our own. Ask and you will receive.

What direction are you pointing towards? Towards God or away from God? Towards wisdom or away from wisdom?

My Core Values

To glorify God. To reflect Him. To make disciples. To grow together in community, and to build each other up.

I agree with The Apostle's Creed.

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the universal Christian Church,
the communion of the saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.

Amen. 

Putting it in a different way, I agree with the following Statement of Faith as it is well written by One Hope Canada.

In short summary, I believe—

  1. The whole Bible is inspired by God and, therefore, our authority for faith and practice.

  2. The Trinity is one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

  3. Jesus Christ is God and was miraculously conceived, performed miracles, died and was buried, physically rose again, ascended to heaven and will return.

  4. In the person of the Holy Spirit, whose ministry is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, draw all people to Him, renew the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service.

  5. In the existence of Satan, a created being and an enemy of God.

  6. All people, though created in the image of God, have rebelled and are totally sinful, unable to please God; all will one day be resurrected and only by being born again through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone can they receive salvation and the gift of eternal life, thus escaping conscious eternal punishment.
