If you don’t catechize your children, may I suggest that you start?
Many young adults who leave the faith do so because they feel it’s merely about assertion or about emotional appeals. But Christianity is based on truth, whether historical or rational. Jesus rose from the dead, and Christianity makes sense.
Catechizing can help our children understand that the Faith makes “sense.” Only God saves. But we can remove impediments to faith. [Read more…] about Catechize Your Kids

Well, that changes our Easter plans. We planned to have people over for an outdoor meal, but we cannot do that now or else face a fine. Ontario has entered into a four-week lockdown.

We have legalized ending the lives of those who feel themselves to be at the end of their life; we have also authorized the ending of lives before they have left the womb.
From beginning (womb) to end (assisted dying), we make choices that devalue the beginning and end of life. What does that mean for Canada? What does it mean for people caught in the middle of death? [Read more…] about From Death to Death, Living in Canada
What does Romans 13 have to say about the myriad of civil matters that we face today?
Here I want to make a few observations that come out of the heart of the nerd who has been studying reformation theology and writings. Granted, these observations on Romans 13 in reformed thinking do, of course, touch on all the issues we have today.
Even so, I am not writing this as some sort of online battle, which normally I would not say but today I feel I must due to how volcanic the internet seems. I offer this little FAQ as simply my thoughts on Friday morning and later updated in the day. [Read more…] about FAQ on Romans 13
