Description
Laurie was born and raised in rural Newfoundland into a Pastor's home. He moved to Toronto in 1976 and entered Eastern Pentecostal Bible College in 1978. There he met Edith, and they were married in 1981. After a year and a half in Hearst, Ontario, where their first daughter, Sarah, was born, the family moved back to the Toronto area where Laurie returned to Bible College (OBC), received his Bachelor of Religious Studies degree, and started ministering as the assistant pastor at Willowdale Pentecostal Church. It was during this time that their second daughter, Denise, was born. In 1989 the family moved to the New Hamburg, Ontario area where Laurie pastored New Hamburg Christian Centre. In 1998 they moved to Drayton, Ontario where he served as Pastor for nine years.Currently, Laurie is an active contributor to a local newspaper in a column called "Reflections." He is also writing curriculum for, teaching and helping lead people into a deeper walk with Christ in a small group setting. Laurie has also shared excerpts from his writings via social media sites like Facebook. In addition to this, he has often sent out weekly encouraging emails called "A Good Word" to those who request it. This just about sums up Laurie's life, except for, of course, his involvement in their local church, being a good husband to his dear wife, Edith, a father and father-in-law to his incredible kids, and a Poppa to his 5 brilliant grandkids!There is hindsight, foresight, and insight - and then there is Godsight.Being a follower of Christ and a student of God's Word, I am becoming empowered by the reality that a) heaven is in my future, and b) while I await the fullness that will be revealed in the eternal state of heaven, the qualities that depict God's glorious order there also exist here, now, and in my world, for God's glorious order is eternal. As I seek and celebrate these qualities, a deep faith-in-God worldview is cultivated.The quandary of two opposing kingdoms in my world is evident: the kingdom of evil dominated by Satan, and the kingdom of good ruled by God. But "opposite" by no means mean "equal," for the true ruler of my world always has, always is, and always will be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and it always has, always is, and always will be in my greatest interest to seek and see him in every season and in every place. By doing so I am enabled to live within, beyond, and above life's crude and cruel experiences, and consequently step into the rich and dynamic life that is mine to know in Christ.Each chapter of my book begins with a reflection of what God's glorious order might look like in the eternal state of heaven. It then goes into how the qualities that depict God's glorious order there also exist here, now, and in my world, qualities such as blessing, goodness, holiness, compassion, obedience, peace, justice, and so on. Each chapter also concludes with an affirming prayer.
