GCD Short - The Spiritual Realm and Your Kids - Bedtime Prayers

Image
   I recently wrote an article about the spiritual realm and your kids in regards to meal times, in particular I focused on praying with your infant at meal times, even if they are not yet eating with you. Another important time to pray with your child is at bedtime, and again this can and should start with your infant. Bedtime can potentially be an anxiety inducing time for your child. My wife and I had our newborn children in our bedroom for maybe the first couple of nights when we brought them home, but we quickly moved them to a separate room. I know that there are some parents who like to keep their infants in their own bedroom for a longer time. I don't understand why that is or how bedtimes work when one does that, but I don't think there is an issue with this practice. One can argue that keeping the child in the master bedroom reduces their anxiety and helps the child to better adapt to being outside the womb, but my view is that, sooner or later, that child has to get...

My Thoughts on the 2025 Federal Election

Image
   The results of the 2025 Canadian federal election are very disappointing to me. It is typical in Canadian politics to replace a governing party once they have been in power for around ten years. It is an interesting phenomenon in Canada that we tend to vote out an old government rather than vote in a new one. Since the Liberal Party has lead the government for the last ten years and had recently seen unheard of low polling numbers before the resignation of Justin Trudeau as the Prime Minister, it was a safe bet for quite some time that the Liberal Party was going to be soundly defeated at the next federal election by the Conservative Party. Justin Trudeau won the position of Prime Minister in 2015 after running on a platform of honesty and transparency, but his legacy is one of having lead the most corrupt and scandal ridden government in the history of Canada. Trudeau himself had several ethics violations of his own plus those of his cabinet ministers, as well as several g...

GCD Short - The Spiritual Realm and Your Kids - Infants and Meal Time

Image
   In light of the fact that I am trying to explain, in my limited capacity, the nature of the spiritual realm, and given that I am not feeling well today and I am having trouble with the heavy research that is required, please oblige me as I post a 'Short' today that touches on, though may not go into much depth in how the spiritual realm may affect your kids and how you should engage the spiritual realm with your kids. There are different ways and lengths to which you as the parent will engage the spiritual realm depending on the stage of growth and development of your child, and today I will focus on your infants, specifically at meal time.  I want to suggest to all Christian parents that you should be praying with your infants. Prayer is not just something that you should teach your kids how to do when they become verbal; they can sense the peace of God's presence long before that time. Maybe before I go any farther, I should define what I consider an infant. In the m...

The 2025 Canadian Federal Election - Mark Carney is Not Who He Portrays Himself to Be

Image
   We are nearing the end of the Canadian federal election for 2025 and it appears that a large swath of the country has no idea of who the person that they are planning to vote for actually is. In an age where information is literally at our fingertips, we have an electorate that has apparently put their collective brains in 'Park' and are not examining the things that the Liberal platform and the legacy media are feeding to them. After three miserable terms of Liberal mismanagement and corruption spanning nearly a decade, somehow the people of central and eastern Canada still think that the Liberals should have yet another go at leading this country. It was only a few months ago that Canadian polls had the Liberal party polling at a well deserved 16% approval, yet now there is at least the possibility of another minority Liberal government, and depending on the polls that you are looking at, even a majority government!! Are Canadians really THAT stupid? I have been suspiciou...

The Spiritual Realm is Real and Active - The Roles of God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit

Image
   I am going to attempt to share my understanding of how God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit exist and interact with each other and us. The Bible does not specifically lay out the roles of each of these three persons of the being of God, and many, many people struggle with trying to wrap their minds around the notion of the Trinity, or the tri-une nature of God. To be clear, nowhere in the Bible will we see the use of the word "trinity", but it is a central aspect of the nature of God in Christian theology.  There is a distinct possibility that in my attempt to explain the persons of God and their apparent roles as seen in Scripture, I will state some things that seem to be contrary to other things that I am stating. This is simply due to the fact that this is a very complicated and convoluted subject and that my own theories have to remain flexible and fluid so that, if I come across some information that dictates that I need to adjust my understan...

The Spiritual Realm is Real and Active - Basics of Spiritual Beings

Image
   There is apparently an appetite for information regarding the spiritual realm that is active all around us judging by the amount of traffic that my last article has received. As I mentioned in that article, I am somewhat hesitant to delve into the topic of the spiritual realm because it will be very easy for me to write something in such a way as to unintentionally mislead someone if I am not exceedingly clear about what I am saying, and I do not want anyone to stray into a pursuit of the unseen as a result of my words. In general, I would say that even though we are surrounded by a spiritual realm, we are not to seek to engage with it other than to seek the council and the leading of the Holy Spirit, but if you are not familiar with the Holy Spirit, there is a possibility that you may open yourself up to being mislead by a fraudulent spirit. Because of this danger, I will probably take things very slowly in my articles, covering only one or two topics at a time instead of...
