In Regards to the Recent Gun Violence in Toronto.

Culture shift, is the two words that come to my mind when I am not feeling safe in my own country and city. I am 44 now, but I grew up traveling to Toronto by bus and by car for things like work and religious worship. I have never seen such instability in this precious city, which growing up was relatively safe. Of course as a child traveling to Toronto there were places that I wouldn't travel, not because I believed my life was in danger, but just because there are bad people out there. The Toronto Police were the best, with a great reputation, there was not a hatred of the authorities in fact the general population respected our cops. I pray for the Toronto Police now, as they deal with a segment of the city's population that is clearly out of control. Gangs existed when I was a kid, but for the most part they remained hidden from the general population, and Torontonians would look in horror at gun violence in other countries and be very thankful that Toronto the Good was protected by our authorities.

But that was then, and this is now and the moral decline we all have seen in our societies has left our youth without example, and without direction. The breakdown of the family is one thing, but the general moral decline that everything goes and the general moral relativity has left a vacuum in our society, which is leaving the authorities with little power or moral will and conviction to do the right thing. When evil goes unchecked like it has been happening all over the world, people need to come together to condemn the decline in moral righteousness, and hold up a standard through living their lives in conviction and truth and in witness of the good in man, not the evil that destroys innocence and life itself. (a culture of death, Pope John Paul)

God is a righteous judge and will not let the wicked rule over the righteous (Psalm 125:3) so that being the case, what do good people do when evil is trying to destroy the peace that all of us grew up knowing? We need to continue doing the right things as a society, rewarding the good and punishing the evil. Good people never do a deal and make friends with evil and wicked people, it is our duty as a society to punish evil. God is in the saving business, and it is his duty to save the souls of those who are causing trouble. The bible teaches that if we die in our sins they will go to hell. It is important to live a life that is good.

Regardless of your religious or moral convictions, you should agree with me that evil is evil, there is a right and a wrong and God gives second chances, but He also brings His wrath and judgement to people and societies who continue to live in sin. I know that God wants peace on our streets, and it is up to the good people to pray that our cities would be a safe place to live and travel in. This is Mike.

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.

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...

Ontarian's to possibly extend Daylight Savings time till next Spring.

Ontarian's to possibly extend Daylight Savings time till next Spring. Regardless as to why we started this time change, it has been in effect many years before I was born, or my Parents were born. I understand that some people can benefit with the extra sunlight in the winter time, but I want to give you a definition of our circadian rhythm as humans. circadian rhythm (/sɜːrˈkeɪdiən/) is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours. These 24-hour rhythms are driven by a circadian clock, and they have been widely observed in plants, animals, fungi, and cyanobacteria. In other words, our bodies are biological clocks that operate within the realm of time, and time is measured by how much daylight is in a day. Our bodies adjust to time, but it takes time and a steady exposure to sunlight during the day to set our internal clocks. When we experience time changes, our bodies change along with the 24 hour day cycle. When we over-extend ...
