Ah, that Name of Jesus again.

After my last post on the public ban imposed on the evangelical testimony of 'Voices to the Nations' in Toronto, there were many 'likes' and 'shares'. I felt a further post was in order, especially with the rapid approach of Remembrance Day:that solemn occasion when we recall the sacrifice of all who died for the cause of freedom in our world wars.
On Saturday, November 7th, several men (myself included) will descend on Memorial Square in Barrie in order to lift our own voices in the cause of freedom. Freedom to peacefully assemble in our own city; freedom to preach the gospel message and freedom from the tyranny of all who would deny free men that right. Which is, after all, why our fathers marched forth to battle in decades gone by.
Our dearly beloved national anthem declares in a single pungent phrase this liberty that we all hold so dear:

"GOD KEEP OUR LAND GLORIOUS AND FREE, O CANADA WE STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE."

That is what we will be doing in a couple of days when we exercise our right as members of a western democracy to give public testimony in our city.
In short we will be helping God to keep our land glorious and free.
Want to join us?   We will be at Memorial Square at 11:00 am.

Jubilate.
