Post 175--Introduction: ChristianRoots Canada

Although the celebrations of Canada 150 are not over, the climax of the July 1 weekend is history by now. I just took the button from my hat. Things are somewhat returning to "normal," whatever your normal is.  Now that the excitement is over, we can give ourselves the luxury of doing some reflection on our nation. Hence, I introduce you to a new website--  < www.christianrootscanada.org  >.  I just came across it and still wonder just where it will lead.  However, the issue it raises is significant enough for us to pause and consider the question: What happened to Christian Canada?  I invite you to read what appears to be a new effort, though built on an earlier one. If this initial one intrigues you, you may want to get yourself subscribed and follow through on it. I think I will do so. But do please remember: I do not know these people or their orientation. I'm just going to log in and see for myself. You might do the same. So, as so often in this blog: go to it and see....

Do you love Canada? Of course you do! How much do you know about its Christian foundations? A little? A lot? Do you want to know more? Visit www.christianrootscanada.org to get the right tools for learning more. First, you need to understand that Canada was NEVER a Christian nation. However, it was founded by people with a strong Biblical worldview, and others who were greatly influenced by that worldview through their upbringing in a Christian home. That was responsible for a Christian cultural outlook which pervaded the collective thought and actions of our early forebears well into the early 1980's. The Biblical virtues of truth, fidelity, diligence, perseverance, a strong work ethic, knowledge and respect for the guiding hand of God, all contributed to a culture that practiced (among other ideals) liberty without license, justice without coercion and equality before the law. These laws were rooted and grounded in British Common Law, most of which were derived from the Ten Commandments in the Bible. ChristianRoots Canada will help you to understand where we came from as a nation, to chart how our national culture got where it is today, and to figure out what we can do to lift up God's standard of justice, righteousness and truth. We plan to equip you by giving you the tools you need to educate and inform your family, friends and neighbours about our Biblical Christian heritage. Once you have those tools, we hope you will take the next step of impacting the culture, one home, one village, one Township, one Province or Territory at a time, until the Biblical Christian standard, God's standard, becomes the culture of Canada once more. Many Christians express the despair that David did in Psalm 10, (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+10) when they look at our current political climate and our leaders. If that describes you, then there is hope. YOU can do something about it. You can arm yourselves with information at: www.christianrootscanada.org.   Our journey first started as ChristianGovernance, seven or eight years ago, with Teaching Canadian History from a Biblical perspective. We have  hit the RESUME button as ChristianRoots Canada. There will be bumps and hiccups along the way. We hope that you will be patient with us. Our mission is to Educate, Equip and Empower our readers to take action. We hope you will be inspired by the stories of the Christian heroes that have gone before us and that you would boldly stand on their shoulders. If you think someone you know should be getting this information, then please share and forward. Arm Yourselves. Rebuild the foundations.  Remember Psalm 11:3 - If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
