Silence is a boomerang & sorry to say Canada & the church in Canada are receiving the end result of our silence, anti-Christ laws. Numerous years ago they took the Lord's Prayer out of our public school system. Then same sex marriages, recently Ontario passed into law gay clubs in all schools, no matter their religious convictions. And our most recent outrage, bisexual & transvestites allowed into ladies washrooms.
Every home in Canada should receive a free pitchfork from our government to distribute the crap that has been forced upon us in the name of equal rights. Shame on us for our silence in allowing our elected politicians to cater to minority groups having perverted agenda's that will ultimately destroy everything we held dear!
The beginning of the downfall of the church in Canada happened in a two fold fashion. I am not sure of the years or which came first, the removal of the Lord's Prayer from the public school system or Sunday shopping. Prior to that families did church together & then hung out with friends & family, a day of rest just like the Bible teaches.
Our forefathers would roll over in their graves at the perversity of these laws. So often things that are meant for good can be twisted to the point that they actually attacks the freedom it was instituted to defend, (example equal rights & anti bullying.) Today our laws favor the vocal minorities & actually have put them in the place whereby their beliefs & ways, bully the masses.
People from all over the world came to Canada for a better life. They came knowing we were a nation founded upon Judeo-Christian principles. We have since our foundation, been a multicultural nation & thankful for it. I grew up with people from Germany, Russia, Estonia, Holland to name but a few of the nationalities. Their parents loved this nation of Canada & were greatly thankful for the warm welcome & opportunities it afforded them.
Today many who come here have a singular purpose of changing Canada into the nation they have previously left. I believe it was in the Parliament of Ontario that they tried to pass a law to institute Sharia law for those believing in it, how ludicrous. Within Sharia law it is OK to rape your wife or confine her to your house no matter her desire or will. Not in Canada you say, I'm not so sure anymore. Try going into their home nation (obviously this is not their home nation) & telling them to change their laws to fit our beliefs, not likely, you would be fortunate to come away with your life. If you don't like our laws God Bless you & bon voyage!
How does this once glorious nation regain what it has so obviously lost? We have to individually & corporately have to start standing up for what & who we believe in. For a Christian, Jesus & the lifestyle (morality) that comes from the Word of God, are what we desire for our nation. Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.
God does not want an external compliance to a set of rules. John 14:23 Jesus speaking "If anyone loves Me (you & I) they will keep (obey) My Word (not because we have to but because we want too.) What God wants is a humble repentant heart that truly worships Him. He wants to have His rightful place on the throne of our hearts.
All have sinned-- no good works or outward appearance of piety can restore a proper relationship with God. It took the sacrifice of His Son, the Sacrificial Lamb of God being crucified on the Cross of Calvary to put us in the place to receive God's forgiveness for our sins. First we must recognize we are sinners. Then we must ask His forgiveness for our sins and finally change our lives to line up with His Word. JESUS DID NOT DIE JUST FOR OUR MISTAKES, BUT FOR OUR SINS! Sin is sin whether you were led into it or made a mistake, get out of denial & ask the Lord's forgiveness.
Now that we have a picture of what righteousness is, is Canada a righteous nation? Are we doing our part to be righteous? Yes we all have areas within our lives to work on Romans 6:6,7 & 6:12-14 I am not talking about the extreme grace teaching that is rampant today. When God's grace (unmerited favor of God, we did not deserve it but He made a way for us,) and (the operational power of God, we can only truly change by tag teaming with the power of the Holy Spirit.) When His divine influence has touched your heart there will be an outward evidence of change in your life (out of thanksgiving for what He has done for you.)
Can we actually change the direction of the boomerang our silence has created? Yes we can, it starts by dumping our negative attitude & words. Next start thinking, speaking & living out the positivity found in the Bible. Stop doing wrong & start doing right. It is time for the church to stand up & speak out on behalf of Who & What we believe in "Jesus & His Word."
The Church has got to quit ripping each other apart for our petty denominational differences. Start focusing upon what we agree upon, the godhead or trinity, the virgin birth, that Jesus was crucified for our sins & is our resurrected Savior. That we are saved by the grace of God not by works but our works are an outward expression of our love & thanksgiving for who He is in our lives.
When God's love is present, unity & one accord can be found in the midst. The world desperately needs to see this in our individual churches, denominations & within the entire Body of Christ.
Is it too late to change the direction of the boomerang created by our silence? Absolutely not, not as long as we have breath! Food for thought!
