What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
Romans 3:9-11 NIV
No One Seeks for God
If you are seeking for one of the top companies in the world, you don’t have to look far. Canadian Tire placed seventh on Newsweek’s annual list of global companies that have “earned the confidence of consumers, investors, and employees by producing quality products, paying employees fair wages, and appointing effective leaders.” This is the second year Newsweek has released the ranking, which recognizes 1,000 companies from 23 industries and 20 countries. An independent survey of over 70,000 participants from customers, investors, and employees determined the ranking results.

Happy New Year! 2025 has arrived, a clean slate, with hopes and dreams before us. For those of you who make resolutions, the New Year begins with a new sense of determination to live a life different, better, than in the past. There is only one resolution, one determination that has eternal significance. The apostle Paul speaks to the need in Romans 3:9-11: “What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.’” As you enter this New Year, there is nothing of greater value than seeking the God who created you and loves you. The Bible says that those who seek God with their whole heart will find Him. Put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, seek Him with everything in you, and 2025 will mark the beginning of eternal life.
These have been words from the heart.
