Canadian secularization, despite its name, is not just the successful child of the secular world but can also be seen as the unintended offspring of the fragmented Canadian Christian one.
- Dr James Robertson, Overlooked @NewLeafNetwork
The Bible describes God’s love for people. But does God really care about the earth, too? How relevant is creation care for the Christian life? Vital? Optional? A distraction?

Come, Holy Spirit,
and heal all that is broken in our lives,
in our streets,
in our cities,
in our nations,
in our alliances,
and in our world.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
A PRAYER FOR THE UKRAINE.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world.
Amen.
Have mercy on us.
Grant us peace.
For the unbearable toil of our sinful world,
we plead for remission.
For the terror of absence from our beloved ones who have lost their lives,
we plead for your comfort.
For the scandalous presence of death in your creation,
we plead for the resurrection.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world.
Have mercy on us.
Grant us peace.
@RyanTurnbull20 I think @JamesTylerRo makes this point in his upcoming book "Overlooked". Canadian church history is in part a story of making decisions based on financial and political power.
Today, while preaching a sermon, I stepped on a cricket. It was so gratifying to strike back against the cricket community. They've been heckling public speakers for years!
