The Canadian Church Crisis

It’s hard to believe that the Canadian church has wandered so far from its roots.

Throughout Scripture we read that there is only one sin that puts us beyond forgiveness, and that is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Mark 3:28-29), which refers to when a person continually resists […]
