Well said Samuel.
My question to anybody is what do you think about the New Religious Freedom Office?

Comment on Should you be terrified of a Canadian Christian law school? by Janet Epp Buckingham

Indeed, it would be pointless to establish a law school at Trinity Western University if it is not different in some meaningful ways from other law schools. Like all programs at TWU, a law school will have high standards for teaching law. But also, like all programs, it will incorporate a Christian worldview. The proposal itself includes two courses where this is incorporated intentionally, along with other content. These courses are a first year course in the foundations of the common law and a third year, capstone course in jurisprudence. There are so many aspects, however, that it is impossible to detail them all. We will want to examine the role of lawyers as problem solvers and reconcilers in society. And leadership and high ethical standards will be part of the program as well. A law school at TWU is neither narrowly dogmatic as described by the critical law professors nor merely law school with some bible study added on.

I came to this country (from China) because of her freedom to speech, belief, assembly. Now, my very freedom is being severely violated by the public institutions. It is almost like that one day I have flee this country and go back, no difference, I guess. The young people in this country, especially among local Canadians, are extremely hostile toward Christianity; and they even use distorted history to blame Christians for all the “historic wrongs”. This is very odd: we use to send missionaries to places like China, and now China is sending missionaries to Canada. Many of our churches, especially in major urban centres, are gradually occupied by the Chinese and Koreans immigrants. I think it would be a great idea to import some house-church Christians from China if necessary.

Comment on Titanic Lectures by Kelly Joel

Well done John Shearhouse! I heard the first sermon, and once you got wound up, I heard the sound of courage that aligns with God, casts off the world, and moves into governance with God. Salt and light Sons of the Kingdom. I believe as I meditated with the Lord on this later, that it is significant to know also – WHAT SEASON ARE WE IN THIS DAY?!

Through many seasons the Lord has been finding out those who would qualify to stand with Him whom He may fully appoint like sons who meet His enemies in the gates, and ultimately be given posts to reign with Him in His eternal Kingdom.

For this, the cost is the world, the love is for God and His Kingdom. The affinity for Him complete.

In the coming days many yet will become ‘standout’ sons (male and female ‘sons’), of the Son in allegiance and faith, unto a full faithfullness. Some may die yet, some will be marginalized, some will have loss in THIS world.

Many I believe, in THIS season, leading into the next, be given increase of the government of God in their postings, and though they are unwilling to adopt the world at what cost may be, they will find increasing boldness and favour with God, due to the season – to reign in those postings, as the time has come for substantial increase of the government of God -
as the scripture says

Isaiah 9:6-7
Lexham English Bible (LEB)
6 For a child has been born for us;
a son has been given to us.
And the dominion will be on his shoulder,
and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 His dominion will grow continually,

(READER PLEASE NOTE, the CONTINUAL growth of His dominion. I personally for decades relegated all Dominion to be internal, in hearts only, and would remain so until Christ’s second coming. About the beginning of 2012 that changed for me, I was encouraged in this regard – that from this time there would be significant increase of His government, and the resulting peace that would ensue as the time comes for as Daniel wrote, the kingdom to be given to the saints of the Most High. It is also written that He shall reign until all things are brought under His feet, His principality, the principality of the Prince of Peace)

and to peace there will be no end[a]
on[b] the throne of David and over[c] his kingdom,
to establish it[d] and sustain it
with justice and righteousness
now and forever.
The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.

Footnotes:
Isaiah 9:7 Literally “There is NO END TO THE INCREASE of the dominion and to peace”

also Is 16:5,Messiah’s rule
Then in the tent of David
a throne will be established by faithful love.(A)
A judge who seeks what is right
and is quick to execute justice
will sit on the throne forever. Holman translation

Comment on Titanic Lectures by Laura Vaivada

I just finished listening to all of these and I’m very impressed. Each of the five lectures inspires men to be men, men of righteousness, courage, sacrifice, dominion, and leadership – everything we should want our sons to be and our daughters to marry. Young men! Forget childish things like Call of Duty games, lego, or wordly dating – and become men of humility, integrity, mission, and courage. Young ladies! Forget celebrity idolatry and wordly lies of manliness, and become women who can be strong helpmates to these men. For Christ’s glory and Kingdom.
