moments of candid and sincere communication with God.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”
John 15:5
The Ontario Science Centre was intentionally designed to provide families and school groups with a series of experiences. Arrival, cross the bridge, through the Great Hall, down the escalators, terrace, down again, galleries…

Sometimes we read the Bible just to finish chapters, but the goal isn’t speed, it’s understanding. A single verse you sit with and truly understand can shape your life more than ten chapters you rush through without meditating on them. God’s Word is meant to transform us, not just inform us.
“God has infinite attention to spare for each one of us. You are as much alone with him as if you were the only being he had ever created.” - C.S. Lewis
I am not the saint I ought to be,
I am not yet the disciple, I wish to be, but by the grace of God,
I am no longer the man I used to be...
St. Augustine

A father was seen reading the Word of God to his newborn daughter on the very first day of her life, choosing to cover her beginnings in faith, prayer, and Scripture. 🙏🏾📖❤️
Guys, Paul was kept in this place called the Mamertime Prison. It is a Roman prison, a hole underground.
He wrote 2 Timothy from here. When next you read Timothy, have this in mind, and appreciate the sacrifice that brought you life.
Human history is centered around three moments:
1. The birth of Christ
2. The death of Christ
3. The resurrection of Christ
And soon, the return of Christ.
Psalm 119:105 and John 15:5 paired together unlocked something I’d been missing my entire life.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
Most people quote this verse and move on, but there is a depth here that changes everything once you see it. Notice it doesn’t say that God will give you a blueprint, a roadmap, or a ten-year plan with every detail mapped out. It says God’s word is a lamp.
In ancient times, a small oil lamp lit maybe three or four feet in front of you. You couldn’t see the destination, you couldn’t see around the corner, you had just enough light for the next step.
This is how God operates. Not with floodlights. Not with spotlights. Just enough for each step, forcing you to depend on Him every moment. You can’t run ahead. You can’t figure it all out on your own. You have to stay close to the light source.
Then Jesus comes along in John 15:5 and makes one of the boldest claims in all of Scripture. “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him bears much fruit. Apart from me you can do NOTHING.”
When I first read this, it shocked me. Nothing??? I looked around and saw people clearly doing things without Him. That’s when it clicked, He doesn’t mean nothing in the strict sense. You can build businesses, write books, gain influence, accomplish things. What He means is that real, lasting fruit, the kind that actually matters for eternity comes only when you abide in Him. You can spend your whole life doing things that feed your ego but starve your soul, or you can stay connected to the source of life and bear fruit that truly matters.
The lamp doesn’t just show you where to go. It forces you to stay close to who is guiding you. No lamp and you stumble in darkness. No vine and you wither and die. Both images shout the same truth: abide, depend, stay connected.
We live in a culture obsessed with independence, self-sufficiency, and figuring it all out on our own. God designed us for the opposite. He gives you just enough light for today because He wants you coming back tomorrow. The lamp to your feet isn’t a limitation, it’s an invitation to intimacy, a daily reminder that you don’t walk alone.
