So, it comes as no surprise that the great deceiver will attempt his final masquerade at that time. In different parts of the earth, Satan will appear as the majestic Jesus. Your senses will tempt you to believe the claims of Satan, so how can you guarantee you will not be misled?

IIW Canada — Wed, 15 Dec 2021 13:53:31 -0500

They followed the star to where the humble infant was cradled in a manger. The wisemen then “bowed down and worshiped Him” (Matthew 2:11). Yet the religious leaders, who were not ignorant concerning the prophecy that declared the birthplace of the Messiah, refused to make the effort to go to Bethlehem to see for themselves. This was the beginning of their rejection of Christ. How do we prevent our hearts from growing cold to Jesus? See how you too can follow the star today and bring your gifts to Him, like the wisemen did so long ago.

IIW Canada — Mon, 13 Dec 2021 08:33:10 -0500

ProGrace is a training and equipping organization whose vision is for Christians to embrace a grace-centered response to dealing with unplanned pregnancies; thus, creating communities where both the woman and the child can thrive. There are two foundational beliefs at the heart of the ProGrace mission: #1 God’s design for pregnancy was to intertwine a woman and a child. He has made it impossible for us to try to help one while bypassing the other, but instead calls us to work for the dignity and welfare of both. #2 God’s path for transformation for any of us is always grace, not judgment. So, we will extend the same grace we've received to any woman facing an unintended pregnancy.

BC Flood Disaster Rescue

IIW Canada — Tue, 07 Dec 2021 10:55:41 -0500

Over the last few weeks, historic flooding occurred in British Columbia: mudslides, highways washed out, power outages, towns evacuated, land lost, vehicles lost, and lives lost. Bridges and mountain passes were also washed away, which meant that people were stranded alongside mountainous roads and highways, sometimes in their vehicles, and sometimes they had to abandon them. It’s hard to imagine how frightening that would be to be caught out in the cold in the middle of nowhere late at night, far from your home, not knowing how long you were going to be stranded or if you are going to even make it. One of the places where many people were stranded was along a back road near Hope, BC. A Christian campground called Camp Hope gladly took in close to 300 travelers. Listen to some of their heart-wrenching stories.

Love at Home

IIW Canada — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 09:36:19 -0500

Often when we look back on our lives we see a chain of circumstances where one decision led to the next and the next, and we realize that each decision led us to where we are today. And especially if we have dedicated our lives to the LORD, we see a magnificent mosaic of colourful events, which may not always be easy, but when we see God’s hand in it, we would have it no other way. This was certainly true for Paul and Raquel Antunes who are our special guests on IIWC today.

DAILY LIVING | How Are We Stronger Together

IIW Canada — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 13:00:00 -0400

An odd thing happens when people, birds, bees, and horses decide to work together instead of working separately. The combined effect of the interaction of two or more is greater than the sum of their individual results. Canadian geese flying in formation, for example, can fly much further and faster than the sum of the individual birds flying alone. They fly more as one BIG bird than as many individuals. A hive of bees produces more honey than all the individual bees can produce on their own. Click on todays’ message to See How We Are Stronger Together!

Aaron and Zachery Simmonds, on one fateful day in February 2020, were on their way to visit their brother in Toronto when they were pulled over by the police and arrested for second degree murder.

You Were Designed with a Longing for Love

Love and the expression of love are absolutely vital to our existence. During our current time of physical distancing and social isolation, the number of adults experiencing depression has tripled in Canada since the lockdown measures began.

DAILY LIVING | Because Jesus Lives, We Can Face Tomorrow

IIW Canada — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 15:08:26 -0400

The light of the world had gone out, and without Christ, the earth was blackness and cold as winter. While He lay in the tomb, His name was on the lips of those who had placed their hopes in Him, and the streets were filled with mourning. However, when our LORD erupted from the tomb, New Life burst from the dead earth glorified! The heavy stone and the Roman guard of one hundred soldiers were powerless to confine the Lord of Life within the stone-cold crypt. As Christians contemplate the death and resurrection of our LORD and Saviour, Jesus Christ, we believe that one day soon, the death, darkness and coldness of winter will end. Because Jesus lives, we can face tomorrow.
