    The mistake of preaching only happiness

    It's quite worrying to see people holding on to what they wish were true instead of actual truth set out in the Word.

    World Canada votes Liberals in, conservatives reduced to minority of around 99/338.

    A pleasure to meet you all and looking forward to your fellowship. I am reformed-leaning Baptist. I hold to the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, commonly know as the London Confession of Faith. My passions are of course theology but also exposition. James
