   I want to delve into a heavy topic today. I know, it's not like I haven't done so before, but I just want to preface everything that follows with that...warning, if you will.  We are living in a time that even our own grandparents could have never envisioned occurring in their lifetime. When Daniel is speaking with the angel as is recorded in Daniel 12, he is told that, in the context of the end of time on earth, "knowledge will increase". We are witnessing that right now, at an unprecedented pace. In the early 1980's, Buckminster Fuller developed a Knowledge Doubling Curve Theory which has, arguably, correctly predicted the advance of human knowledge starting from ancient civilizations to today. His theory states that from the beginning of civilization up to around 1900, the advancement of human knowledge plodded along at a very slow pace which resulted in human knowledge doubling only over the course of centuries. There will be many reasons for this, not the ...

 This is kind of a continuation of my thoughts that I shared in " What Happens When Salt Loses It's Saltiness ?", in which I laid out a recent experience that I had with a group of people that indicated to me that they seem to have lost their saltiness. Their willing submission to the pagan worship of a demon god in a Christian home indicated to me that their presence in this world is having little effect on those around them who need to taste the flavour of God's presence. They believe that they are making a difference and hope that their acquiescence in the name of tolerance will bring someone that they care about to God, but my position is that, after potentially two years of bringing this young man into their homes with there being very little sign that he is at all interested in what they believe, their approach seems to have come up empty to this point. In that article, I referenced Matthew 5:13-16, which reads, "You are the salt of the earth; bu...

 I have very recently been faced with a situation that I had not had to previously consider. Let me walk you through my experience, from the introduction of the situation through my processing of the request that brought this situation on, to the final outcome of it. I had a planned event that I was going to on New Year's Day. This has been a long standing event with the same core people, but it has grown over the years. Yesterday had maybe about 20-25 people in attendance. The situation began a couple of days ahead of the event. This is a group of Believers gathering together, but this is a group that contains a lot of people who proclaim Christ as their Saviour without truly understanding what it means to surrender to Him and to obey Him fully. I have desired to teach this group more, but I do not have the capital with this group for them to listen to what I have to say and to take it to heart; that is the unfortunate nature of this group. These are good people; I want to be ver...

  Merry Christmas to all, and may God bless you richly as you seek to pursue Him!!   

There are too many Canadians that do not understand the times in which we are currently living, particularly in regards to the political climate. There was a time, not too long ago, when the people who ran for political office understood that they were applying to be a public servant, and these people were generally of more noble character and sought to actually make this country better and to try to do their best to protect and help the citizens that they represented. To a certain degree, some of this still exists, but unfortunately, particularly in the federal political sphere, it appears that too many of our elected representatives seem to be in it for themselves or their own ideology. I have lamented in the past that people are too busy and the media is too biased for the population to be able to understand what is happening in federal politics anymore, but it is more important now than ever before for people to be paying attention to what is happening. The Liberals have been tryi...

                                                          There is a concerning increase in the levels of mental health issues in the world today, and a large amount of those who are affected by this are our youth, adolescents and even our young adults. Now I am of the belief that continuously talking about a subject is not the way to curb its prevalence. In fact, I believe that it has the exact opposite effect. For example, if the left would stop continuously pushing the rhetoric that there is systemic racism in the west and convincing so many minorities that they are victims, then I am all but convinced that the 'scourge of racism' would not exist today, except in certain places where it is actually a cultural problem; yes, these places do still exist, but the issue is far less prevalent than the left would hav...
