Families are fragmented, communities, too. Why?! Look at how we have allowed special interest groups and lobbies to change the moral and social fabric of our North American culture! Why? Because we who represent these values and tenets have been sleeping or complacent.

Now the problem in the schools isn't gum chewing, it's gun and knife toting and drug dealing. Now schools are scrambling to get "character development" programs back into the schools because not only are the students emotionally immature, but the staff is, too!

Isn't it time we developed and restored ways of respecting and honouring the institution of marriage and the family in ways that represented 95+% of the population in Canada? It starts with we who believe in these standards and ways of life who have too long remained SILENT. Awakening and Revival is needed amongst Believers and followers of Christ Jesus! Weekend all-night prayer vigils are popping up increasingly, the faithful are becoming desperate in a Holy way. Join them!

Become Civily aware and active, too. There could be an Election coming up before you know it. Find out who is running, maybe God is calling you to get involved and support a candidate and, of course, research and then vote well!

Many languish in discouragement and lack of hope, some become negative and "drop out", without any vision for the future of these issues that will affect our generations to come! WE are responsible to ACT! To make our voices heard and count. If you want to see the efforts of someone who is younger who is working tirelessly for these issues Canada, try following Faytene Kryskow-Grasseschi or her founding work of:

It is MORE than "...allowing special interest groups and lobbies..." to change our nations, we have forgotten/turned away from our Creator and Saviour.

Faytene is Canadian and I have been following her for years. She and another person are incredibly proactive about bringing back a Christian worldview - and by that, I mean action, getting young people involved in politics, prayer times and so much more. I do appreciate you posting this!

This was a Blog on my FB ministry page... I am Canadian and my eldest daughter has gone on Faytene's Parliment "mission trips", this daughter was inspired to run for and win the
Ontario PC Youth Association presidency for 2 years! My wife and I have been part of seeing God bring amazing healthy social change in our previous neighbourhood via Christian involvement in our Community! We were the President/Vice President of the Neighbourhood Association for a few years and sat on that board for over 5 years, seeing the neighbourhood crime rate HALF!

Thanks for the friendly reminder. We are in a state of crisis all around us on the topic of morality.

The state of morality decline amongst our youth generation is rapidly spiraling ever downward.

The "Silver Ring Thing" is a very useful and somewhat effective approach. Unfortunately, it lacks sufficient adult influence in order to increase capacity to meet the ever increasing demand.

Thanks for helping ..
God bless

BC is having its municipal elections in 3 weeks, it happens once every 4 years. I just went through 4 Mayoralty candidates, 22 councillors, and a bunch of school trustees. A lot of them were laughable, but I realized about 3/4s of the way through reading their platforms, that not one single person had come through as a Christian. And I am not sure if a hidden Christian could be considered a Christian at all.

Meanwhile, the East Indian candidate talked about working as a volunteer for Spiritual health in the hospital, and was part of the local Sikh temple and did something there. I think faith (such as it is) is still an important part of the lives these people who have immigrated from the Punjab. Of course, most are first or second generation. Not sure how the third and successive generations will fair, in light of the materialism and consumerism in our culture being those "foreign gods."

It made me realize that Christianity is losing so much ground, we barely exist. I'm delighted to hear your daughter got involved, and is now working to promote conservative values and truths.

2 Chronicles 7:14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
14 and My people [a]who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

this is the crutch - unfortunately, the next generations, for as far back as I can remember/read about,
and now have lived, and
just have only been receiving the 'generic-corrupted' hand-me-downs' of our un-fortunate fore-followers' -
sad/but/true....

PS. 119:165.
'Great Peace have they who Love Thy Law, and nothing shall OFFEND them'...

ISA. 54:13.
And all Thy children shall be taught of The LORD; and great shall be the Peace of Thy children.

PHI. 4:7.
And the Peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

11JOHN 1:3.
Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God The Father, and from The Lord Jesus Christ,
The Son of The Father, in Truth and Love.'
