The Changing Face of Canadian Anglicanism

Sixty percent of Anglicans in the Diocese of Saskatchewan are Cree Indians. At least half of these are under the age of 25.

Dr. Piper on evangelism

"Lord, fill our church with a passion to open the eyes of the blind. Fill us with a passion to do what God uses to bring about the new birth. I say to you what Jesus said to Paul in Acts 26:18: I send you to open their eyes. Don’t stop because you can’t. Of course you can’t. But the fact that you can’t make electricity or create light never stops you from flipping light switches. The fact that you can’t create fire in cylinders never stops you from turning the car key. The fact that you can’t create cell tissue never stops you from eating your meals. So don’t let the fact that you can’t cause the new birth stop you from telling the gospel. That is how people are born again—through the living and abiding word, the good news of Jesus Christ."

John Piper, I'm Sending You to Open Their Eyes, 13 April 2008.

The Quality of Mercy

“The quality of mercy is not strained; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed- It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.”

-- William Shakespeare
