The grass is not always greener

by 1 Comment

 

We are, I’m convinced, as a human species, always playing the comparison game. So-and-so is happier, healthier, prettier, smarter. Here my friend and former PWPL blogger Véronique definitively explains why and how we shouldn’t do this. Another thing: We shouldn’t take social media as evidence of how life is or is not going. (I personally have written upbeat and funny posts before whilst feeling depressed.)

Pro-lifers believe every life is unique. Special. Sacred, even, and that no two people are exactly alike, and so we won’t tread the same paths. Then we go away and fall prey to precisely the secular tendencies we claim to reject.

Support the Christian Advocacy Society of Greater Vancouver

Today, more than ever, Christians are under attack. Christians have always been responsible for doing  good work–creating hospitals, running hospices and homes for the homeless, the abused and those who cannot help themselves. The Christian Advocacy Society of Greater Vancouver is one such group–helping others, including mothers who are unexpectedly pregnant in a manner that is truly compassionate.

You can learn more about their work in this YouTube clip.

Their executive director Brian Norton and I have been emailing for some years now. He takes time, a lot of time, to compassionately explain to people who misunderstand the work of say, for example, crisis pregnancy centres, what they are all about. What they do–and don’t do. He wrote an entire report debunking some of the myths about crisis pregnancy centres.

So on November 3, if you are in the Vancouver area, come and support them. Do not come because I happen to be speaking, but because they do good work, which I also support. And because in the bigger picture, NOW is the time to show support for those Christians doing good work in a sphere that is public. This group is a worthy one for your valued charitable dollar.

Monday November 3, 2014
7 pm – 9:30 pm
Venue: Bethany Baptist Church
22680 Westminster Hwy, Richmond

Tickets are 20 dollars, and there is dessert and live music too!

Offering hope outside abortion clinics

by 2 Comments

Brian Lilley reports here about 40 Days for Life, a “protest” that involves praying outside abortion clinics.

Just yesterday I learned that if there is any presence of pro-lifers outside an abortion clinic, it decreases the number of abortions. This is something we all want–or should, anyway, and so I’m grateful not just for the people who do 40 Days for Life, but for those who report about it, too.
