[youtuber youtube=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYAv4Q9dg70′] Last year I had several people ask me this question. ‘Why are you a Christian? There doesn’t seem to be any proof that God exists.’ I know there are endless opinions on faith, God, and life but I don’t believe ‘Faith’ is blind as some suggest. Instead I think people believe because God […]
Good….. You have likely been told to be good. To do good. You likely got rewarded for being good when you were kid. You may have received money for getting good grades in school. We also like it when others are good to us. It even feels right when we see something that is good. […]
There has been a long pause between my posts on this topic. We have been in the middle of a fundraising / building project for our church and youth centre the last few months and I put blogging aside for a time. However, I am back to writing and looking forward to continuing the ‘Why […]
Someone recently sent me a story about a lawsuit that recently took place in the States. I must say, sometimes I am happy I live in Canada. Well except for the cold. So sixty years ago the Knights of Columbus put up a memorial for people who died in the war, which included this statue […]
Too much evidence. For the past weeks I have been posting thoughts I have on why I believe in God. I know many people who have issues with the idea of a god(s) because they believe they have not seen, or experienced any proof of a god(s). While I know much of these discussions revolve […]
Several weeks ago I decided to answer a challenge. How do you know God is real? People question is it just a feeling? Is our faith only in the ‘unseen?’ Just Emotions? Knowledge? All of the above? Or Can we experience God in our day to day lives? Over the next few weeks I am […]

There are many objections and questions people have about faith, life, and the Church. This book includes topics like creation, science, evolution, suffering, science, church failures, difficult issues in the Bible, the evils of religion, can […]
I have friends who are Christian, some of other faiths, some who are atheists, and many who find themselves somewhere in between. Over the past years I have spent a significant amount of time reading, watching, and listening to people of every background talk about issues on faith, religion, science, and the Bible. I read […]
For several years I was lead short term mission teams to areas surrounding Monterrey, Mexico. During most of our trips we stopped by a particular orphanage run by several Catholic Nuns. The children living there were kids that society and families either didn’t want, had abandoned, or just could not care for. Some were blind, […]
I have heard, read, and followed this argument on many threads, blogs, videos, and debates. ‘Do we need God for us to be good, to be moral?’ I usually have wanted to yell at someone because it is completely obvious people without faith can have morals, love extravagantly, and strive to make the world a […]
