MAID Canada Or KILL Canada? The Power of Words in Our National Conversation

It is very common nowadays to hear it said that people no longer can think or even want to think. In my experience, people usually exempt themselves from this phenomenon, and are really saying, “Everyone except me and my friends have stopped thinking.” I am not writing to comment on the proportion of people who think, and whether that proportion is going up or down. For today, I want to remind you that people think with words. If you think with words, then using certain words will push you to certain “necessary” and “plausible” conclusions. Therefore, the words and the...

How I Am Getting My Mind Back This Year

Wyatt Graham

My thoughts come slower. It can be hard to concentrate. I used to be able to sit down and focus for hours. Now, I feel myself getting distracted. An email comes. A text message pops up. And I feel swept away by the wave. I plan to swim against the current this year. You can too. But to do so, we need to first understand why the current flows so strongly towards mindlessness before planning our rage against the machine.

Ryley Heppner

Rejection hurts. I remember once being in the middle of a job application process. I had just finished an online interview with an assessment team when I noticed a new email in my inbox from one of the assessors.

A no-brainer.” I clicked the mouse, the email opened, and then my head sunk. There was no job offer. Instead, the assessment team had accidentally sent me...

The Joy of Christmas: Finding True Joy in Union with Christ

Chris Woznicki

My youngest daughter loves Christmas. Of course, she loves it for the same reasons other kids her age do but there’s also a very specific reason: her middle name is “Joy.” She’s at that stage where she gets excited whenever she sees her name. She sees “Joy” everywhere during the advent season! I find myself having to remind her: “Sorry girl but these signs aren’t about you! They’re talking about the joy that Jesus brings to the world!” The joy of Christmas is about Jesus. And in the same region, there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over...

Why We Need Beautiful Churches

Phil Cotnoir

On a recent trip through Nova Scotia, my family and I drove through the beautiful historic town of Mahone Bay, where three lovely old churches sit by the water’s edge. Sadly, all three of them have been gutted by theological liberalism, and have lost that gospel beauty which shines forth from local churches where spiritual life is abundant. All that remains is the beauty of the traditional architecture upon the canvas of a picturesque background. This kind of architectural and aesthetic beauty I’ll call “cathedral beauty” for the purposes of this article. Here are two truths: cathedrals are beautiful; the...
