Though my family weren’t farmers, I had the privilege of growing up on a picturesque farm property in rural Ontario. And hidden behind our white, wooden driveshed, was a small patch of wetlands. This glorious little muskeg was just small enough that adults could be excused for overlooking it. But a child’s eyes can perceive such features with a different level of utility than a grown-up’s might, for an abundance of frogs and turtles would pay me visit from the bosom of that swampy paradise.

Given my upbringing, it might come as no surprise that the topic of my first book should revolve around the backyard critters which I had so much joy catching in my formative years.

Canada’s approach to the Canada-US trade situation, explained via the trolley problem:

Too little.

Too late.

Now that they see that we are disgusted with their foreigner hiring practices.

Ignoring the Canadian youth.

And Dunkin Donuts coming back,

they’re worried about profits.

That’s the only reason they’re doing this.

They are not a Canadian company.

@WesleyLHuff No. Beard is required. Half inch is the minimum length, and that's being super gracious.

Back in the Puritan retrival and New Calvinism movements, there was a heavy emphasis on bringing back powerful, faithful, unashamed preaching.

I don't think that impulse was wrong.

But I am increasingly convinced we are in an ecclesiological crisis.

Evangelicals have lost the profound meaning, purpose and role that Lord's Day, corporate and covenantal worship is supposed to play in the rhythm, culture and power of the christian life.

This is why they don't understand why things like age segregated worship are so egregious.

The fact that there are many Christians out there that would rather be ruled by pagans than fellow Christians, is staggering.

The 19th century proved this true beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Mark Carney assembling his majority government.

I lived in Canada for almost 20 years & hold Canadian citizenship. At the Ezra Institute we predicted these changes if the church did not act for over 15 years & were largely ignored. With Bill C-4 and C-9 the legal apparatus is now present for official persecution of Christians.

It is a SERIOUSLY wicked society that won't execute rapists and murders, but will execute people for being sick or depressed

[Blake Bobechko @BlakeBobechko]

Amongst God-fearing Christians, everyone’s a Calvinist when it comes to their earthly government. Even in a democracy, Christians have to reconcile Christ’s words to Pilate that nobody holds any office unless God gives it. And so often, bad leaders are thought of as judgement, or trials, or some other divine prescription, while goodly leaders are considered a blessing. So, after going to the polls, the garden variety evangelical today winks at the mysterious intersection of man’s own election and God's sovereignty in appointing our leaders, but chooses not to chase that question to where it naturally leads — what about the salvation of our very souls?

"How do we reconcile divine sovereignty and human responsibility? On the one hand, God is in control of all events, while on the other hand human beings are responsible for their moral actions. Emphasizing one while denying the other is dangerous and unbiblical."
