Issues for Prayer & Petition
Yes, There Is There A Right Way To Live!
And you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you Free. John 8:32
Dr. David Jeremiah rightly says, “we worry that God is silent, but then we scroll social media instead of searching the Scriptures. We complain that our voices are being silenced, but we fail to bring our requests before the Lord in prayer. If we want to make a difference in our world, we can begin by humbling ourselves before God.”

Parental Rights
In Canada, following recent amendments to the Criminal Code outlawing what is known as ‘conversion therapy,’ providing any treatment other than GAT is now illegal. Children may now make their own decision about transitioning if the Doctor believes they are able to give informed consent and believes it is in the best interest of the child.

Gender Ideology

The world has embraced the idea that gender is something that can be decided by individuals. As Christians encounter colleagues, friends, and family members who identify as a gender other than the one they were born, we need to be informed and equipped with knowledge about what the issues are, what different terms mean, and what the Bible has to say about these things. While we walk the line between loving our neighbor and not buying into the world’s lies, Sharon James helps us in this informative and practical guide. Purchase book here
