There are too many people here in Toronto. The word 'too' indicating that I find it somewhat troublesome to have there be so many people.
Last night at the guy's group we prayed for persecuted Christians and the world and then for Toronto. The passage that DP brought up for Toronto was Acts 17. We should be provoked by idols and injustice around us. We shouldn't view all these people as just nothing. Something annoying to be ignored. May His Spirit provoke, convict and give us more compassion.
I bring this up now though because there are so many people in Toronto that I want to see to the point that I can forget them.
I apparently forgot to tell NJ I was in Toronto. I kinda forgot he lives here too. Haha. It was good getting to catch up over breakfast, discussing life and apologetics and everything. I still really respect him as an older brother; in everything he does, he seeks Christ. In his relationship, in rideshare, in conversations with friends. And he really seeks to improve how to best speak with others and share Christ. Him and FL are total book people though and I completely think it is the coolest thing ever now to be able to just be talking about deep theological principals and to quote great theologies and books and everything. So, I need to figure out how to read more. Haha
What is cool from what I read today though is that Christ, as the image and fullness of God, in all His majesty, who created everything, still went to the cross to reconcile us, sinners who did and do evil. Col 1:15-29
In this passage too I see the goodness and grace: He has reconciled us and now by faith, He presents us holy and blameless. Not us: Christ. Not by works: by standing firm on the hope of the gospel.
May I see more and more His majesty and be able to declare this to others, knowing His great grace.
After, we went to Ryerson and I worked on P2C stuff. Haha
