@Illinigirl81 @jimcosman2 Agreed - frozen candy makes about as much sense as Joe Biden...

@Illinigirl81 @jimcosman2 Ha, that’s funny. I won’t discriminate on the location of my M&M consumption. But to be fair, I haven’t tried your little tip yet, so that may change. From a Canadian seeking to hold fast to sound doctrine and proper chocolate. 😊

@dansudfeld Those are also excellent. I’m content with any form of M&M. Their chocolate is superior.

For years now, I’ve worked on exegeting the text I’m preaching with the necessary thoroughness that I can give the primary thrust of the text in 1 sentence. From Ezra 10:1-8 (what I’m preaching this week), I’d say it this way: A broken faith requires a responsive repentance.

@JoshBuice I’d add Whitefield to the group of faithful evangelists that held to the Doctrines of Grace.

@ofctimallen So glad you are reading the Bible! The Old Testament points forward to a promised Messiah who came to save sinners. This promise was fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ. He is the only Savior. May you repent and find your hope in Him alone.

In this episode, we discuss how political Christians should be. Should we be constantly informed or is political ignorance acceptable? Tune in wherever you get your podcasts.

If you find yourself at an NHL game over the next few days/weeks, I urge you to have the respect for our nations to enjoy both national anthems, remembering those who fought and paid the price for our freedoms.

I am greatly heartened to see that U.S. President @realDonaldTrump and the Canadian Government have agreed to a plan to crack down on Fentanyl trafficking and other illegal activities at our shared border. The appointment of a Canadian fentanyl czar with authority to coordinate a massive joint effort with the United Stated to target Fentanyl traffickers is something Alberta has been calling for since it became clear in our discussions with U.S. elected representatives and administration officials that this would be a critical part of reaching a deal to avoid tariffs. Diplomacy has won the day. Let us ensure that continues as we know there is much more work ahead of us. I once again call on our federal government officials and fellow Premiers to de-escalate rhetoric, abandon any non-tariff measures for the time being, and turn our efforts entirely to advocacy and good faith negotiation. There are so many win-win solutions on trade and security between our two nations. Let us turn this crisis into an opportunity to find them for the benefit of Canadians and Americans. To this end, I am preparing to return to Washington D.C. next week with my fellow Premiers to continue our diplomatic efforts and will again return to D.C. later in the month to attend the National Governors Association.
