Picture taken in front of Sacre Coeur Basilica - we went in during the service and it was beautiful. Sometimes, I wonder if our protestant churcbes are not acknowledging God's holiness and reverence as much as the catholic churches.Yesterday the message that really touched me was based on Daniel's friends refusing to bow to Nebuchadnezzar's idol and they basically said "our God is able to help us but even if he does not, we still will not bow to the idol". The speaker emphasized that God is not accountable to us and that the "victory" occurred not when the guys came out of the furnace alive, but the victory occurred when they refused to bow down to the idol.
Yesterday there was a talk on postmodern, modern, state and religion and although I must confess I kind of "fell asleep with my eyes open", I was speaking to one of my new French Christian friends and she was amazed by how popular Chinese Christian Fellowships are in Toronto, especially since they occur in the universities. Also, they made a point that it's easier to invite a French person to Sunday service instead of to a private home fellowship thing. I think I find the opposite true in Canada....at least from my experience.
