Bigger Than Jesus?

On this day, August 15, 1965, The Beatles played to over 55,000 fans at Shea Stadium in New York City. The event later became regarded as the birth of stadium rock. It remained the highest concert attendance in the United States until 1973, when Led Zeppelin played to an audience of 56,000 in Tampa, Florida.

Beatlemania was at one of its highest marks at the Shea concert. Film footage shows teenagers and women crying, screaming, and even fainting. Despite the heavy security presence of over 2000 security personal, individual fans broke onto the field numerous times and had to be chased down and restrained.

Peach Perfect: Tasty, Nutritious, and In Season

Juicy, fragrant, and bursting with flavour, peaches have a long and fascinating journey behind their soft, fuzzy skin. Originally cultivated in China over 4,000 years ago, peaches were cherished for their beauty and symbolism, representing immortality and renewal. From there, they travelled along ancient trade routes to Persia—earning their botanical name Prunus persica—and eventually made their way to Europe. Spanish explorers introduced peaches to the Americas in the 1500s, and European settlers later brought them to Canada. Thanks to the warm summers and fertile soil of southern Ontario—especially the Niagara Peninsula and the shores of Lake Erie—peaches have thrived, becoming a seasonal highlight every August.

Steps to Christ: Confession

"He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." Proverbs 28:13.

The conditions of obtaining mercy of God are simple and just and reasonable. The Lord does not require us to do some grievous thing in order that we may have the forgiveness of sin. We need not make long and wearisome pilgrimages, or perform painful penances, to commend our souls to the God of heaven or to expiate our transgression; but he that confesseth and forsaketh his sin shall have mercy.

The Truth About B12

Vitamin B12 is essential for the proper functioning of the brain, nerves, and blood cells. It plays a key role in DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and the maintenance of the myelin sheath that protects nerve fibers. B12 also supports energy metabolism and helps regulate mood and cognitive function through its role in neurotransmitter synthesis. A deficiency can lead to serious issues such as fatigue, anemia, nerve damage, cognitive decline, and even permanent neurological problems if left untreated.

The Bible & Loneliness

A lone sheep is, for all practical purposes a dead sheep.

Despite regular church attendance, many Christians in America still experience significant loneliness. Around 15–16% of churchgoers report feeling lonely all the time, with unmarried singles, especially those aged 30–39, reporting rates as high as 50%. Bible-disengaged Christians also experience much higher levels of both moderate and high loneliness. These findings suggest that while church involvement offers some protection, it often lacks the depth of personal connection and spiritual support needed to combat emotional isolation, particularly for singles and those on the margins of church life.*

"And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him." — Genesis 2:18

This is the foundational verse showing God's own declaration that solitude is not ideal for human beings.
