Fueling the fire of an Angst Generation.

OK, here is the keys to the country, be home at ten and don't forget to turn the lights out in Saskatchewan. This is essentially what the Conservative government in Canada did yesterday in creating a budget that was very close to austere measures, and I'm feeling the pain this morning. It's like we've been out partying with our much older brother for 38 years and when he brings us home in an altered state of consciousness he tells us he's moving the ranch and running off with the girl down the street to Texas. Thanks bro.

The torch has been passed to the angst generation, and part of growing up is learning to live with the mistakes of our parents and grandparents, but when it comes to a country can our generation make it work for the long haul? Socialist, neo-conservatives, far right, far left, let us take inspiration from a great Beatle, "Come together, right now!" The Baby Boomers have left the building.

I think it would be good if we all met in our chairman's headquarters, yes Starbucks, and instead of getting all pie in your face about the fact that we are being forced to grow up in areas that our fathers and mothers were never forced to face, yes pissed off, I have a suggestion. Let's take this country back. Children it is time to listen. We were scared, some of us to get married and have children but we did it. We were scared to move out on our own, but we did it. Yes sometimes we still rely on mom and dad, but lets give big brother a break on this one.

I'm no economist, but I do believe that there will be an energy crisis, monetary crisis, and possibly political unrest in my life time still to come. And just like when we were young, our mommy has put a band aid on a very deep cut and has assured us that everything will be alright. "Those nasty socialists will not get you anymore, daddy government has made sure of it in his last government budget." Thanks dad.

Some good things to say, when I needed Welfare you were there. When I needed unemployment insurance you were there. When I needed long term disability, your cousin Ontario can to my rescue. Listen federal government, you need a hand, when you gave me a hand, I'll give you my love and approval because that's what you taught me to do. You were a good parent Trudeau, and as a loving child you have won my respect and obedience. I've learned that life doesn't stay the same, you could be gone tomorrow and as your loving child, I use the word lightly now, we receive the torch and promise that so long as God gives us breath we will be obedient, for you were faithful when we were not.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

  Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

The Existence of God

  Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord.   From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
