You should be angry, but you must not be bitter. Bitterness is like cancer, eating upon the host. It doesn’t do anything to the object of its displeasure. So use that anger. You write it, paint it, dance it, march it, vote it. Do everything about it. Talk it. Never stop talking it.

I'm obviously biased, but it feels like a good time for Canadian Christians to be thinking and talking together about this one.

And, I'm also a little nervous to be in a line up with these fantastic Canadian academics and theologians, but here we go! 😂

This is the front page of the National Post today.

Feels like a good discipline and practice as a Canadian citizen these days, to keep an eye on the narrative that American owned publications are pushing here in Canada.

"What a poor friend it seems we have" might be a better a title.

Spent my teen & young adult years in mainstream Pentecostal/Charismatic, Canadian churches where we revered Peter C. Wagner, Dutch Sheets & Cindy Jacobs.

Can't help but wonder, how many Canadian Christians are celebrating Trumps win & cheering on this troubling movement:

Tens of millions of American Christians are embracing a charismatic movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation, which seeks to destroy the secular state.

It is better to err by excess of mercy than by excess of severity. . .Wilt thou become a Saint? Be severe to thyself but kind to others.
