150 Years of Mercy

"He shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth." (Psalm 72:8)

Canada was originally named the Dominion of Canada based on this verse, because the land stretched from sea to sea. It was founded as a Christian country - a country that feared God and sought to make His name great among the nation.

In my civics' class, we had a short writing assignment: to write three reasons we are proud to be Canadians. Quite honestly, I found it hard. Not the writing aspect of the task, but what I am proud of. I'm proud that this country was founded as a Christian country, though now Christians are persecuted for preaching the gospel on the streets. I'm thankful that - so far - Canada is at peace and has not had war, although we have lost the battle of the flesh and of the devil. I am grateful for the wealth and freedoms we have, but now we glory in our riches and not in our Savior.

Canada has fallen from what it once claimed to be. We have legalized abortion, planned parenting, and gay marriage. We have let public schools and day cares take over our responsibility to train our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Addiction, drugs, pornography, depression, fornication, and divorce are now common every day occurrences. We hate God and have turned to other cults and religions. Feminism is rising up all around us. Women are ruling over men, while men shrink back and are shunned by our culture. We call evil good and think we are "good" people. We blaspheme the name of God on the streets and in our actions. We live our lives without acknowledging our Creator and thinking we have so much protection that God can't touch us.

"The Lord reigns forever; He has established His throne for judgment." (Psalm 9:7)
"I will pronounce My judgments on My people because of their wickedness in forsaking Me, in burning incense to other gods and in worshiping what their hands have made." (Jeremiah 1:16)
Judgement is coming for Canada unless we repent. You may think God won't judge us because we surrounded by so much prosperity. God has not come yet because He is showing us mercy.

"Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, says the Lord of Hosts." (Malachi 3:7)

This year I celebrate the 150 years of mercy God has shown Canada.

Ruler Supreme, who headrest humble prayer,Hold our dominion in thy loving care.Help us to find, O God, in Thee, A lasting, rich reward,As waiting for the better day, We ever stand on guard.God keep our land! Glorious and free! We stand on guard for thee.O Canada! We stand on guard for thee.
 - National Song of Canada [verse 4]

Sincerely,

Ezekiel's prediction and Christ's fulfillment

By
Ezekiel Chapter 4-5 There are four object lessons in this passage that display the type of judgement that was coming for Israel and Judah.  First (Ezekiel 4:1-3): Ezekiel was commanded to draw the map of Jerusalem on a clay brick and demonstrate how the city would be attacked and destroyed.  Second (Ezekiel 4:4-8): Ezekiel was commanded to lie on his left side for 390 days, symbolic of the 390 years Israel disobeyed God, and 40 days on his right side, symbolic of the 40 years Judah lived in rebellion against God; and do this while starring at the model of the siege of Jerusalem and prophesying against it. Third (Ezekiel 4:9-17): He was to prepare bread to ration out while he lied on his side and cook it over manure. This symbolized how God would make them eat defiled bread in the land of the gentiles where he would scatter them and where they would starve.  Fourth (Ezekiel 5:1-4): Ezekiel was commanded to shave his hair and divide it into three equal parts. 1/3 was...

Betrothed to Christ

By
I was reading in Exodus and was reminded of the beautiful picture of Christ and His bride. In Exodus 21:7-11, you find a peculiar law about maidservants: 1) She does not bide by the same laws as the menservants, which can leave their master after six years. 2) If her master who has betrothed her to himself is not pleased  with her, he cannot sell her to the gentiles, but must let her be redeemed; because he has dealt unfaithfully and deceitfully with her. 3) If her master has betrothed her to his son, he must treat her like his daughter. 4) His son must provide for her food, clothes, and duty of marriage and cannot diminish them if he takes another wife. If he does, the maidservant can leave for free. Weird? Kind 'a, but it makes sense. Then God popped a thought into my head about Hosea. Hosea was a prophet who was told by God to marry a harlot to illustrate God's love for Israel. Now at one point Gomer, Hosea's wife, left him for another man and ended up getti...

Judges 17 - Partial Obedience Doesn't Exist

By
I was doing my morning reading through the book of Judges and was shocked at how twisted this man named Micah was. The chapter starts off with him stealing from his mother, then returning the money, then she makes him an idol out of the returned money, and he makes his son the priest of his idols. Later, a Levite comes by and he hires him to be the priest instead of his son and says: "Now know I that the Lord will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest." Judges 17:13 How can this guys definition of right and wrong be so thwarted? How can he think God is pleased with his actions? Sure he hired God's ordained ministers to be his priest (Lev7:35), but he was worshiping a idol! He wasn't even worshiping the one true God! So he wasn't obeying the Levite Priest law, because he broke a much more serious law: "Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in the heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is...
