Christianity Criminalized in Canada

My heart goes out to believers in Canada after a recent unprecedented ruling criminalizing Christian expression on the sin of homosexuality and its devious effects on society -- and folks here in America...the same criminalizing is coming very soon to this country.

This is chilling and sober.
Here is the news article.
Here is a commentary on it.
Audio commentary as well.

The fact that a single Canadian human rights commission tribunal ruling has shut down free speech is outrageous. I would hope that every Canadian evangelical pastor comes out in a unified support for Pastor Stephen Boissoin this coming Sunday. We need to pray for these pastors who are up against this godless, totalitarian evil.

How does the Canadian government allow this to happen? But I need to ask, how will Americans allow this to happen in the near future? The answer is simple: When a repulsive untold number of baby-skull crushing abortions occur on a daily basis; when Joel Osteen's heretical books make the number one slot for bestselling Christian books; and when fundamentalist secularism dominates our government and education system; and when science and sports is elevated to God-like status; and when our media complex produces smut and godless news; and when narcissistic Americans raise their rebellious fists against God every day -- those are the conditions in which Christians will lose their freedom of speech and religion.

We should not be presumptuous by saying "God bless America," but rather "God have mercy on America." We do not deserve our next breathe as a nation (and as individuals).

Very difficult times are ahead for the church. There will be those who will want to stick their heads in the sand and pretend this is not happening. And there will be those who are discerning and are realists and will go about rearranging their priorities.

The Alberta government, which created the human rights commission, has ultimate authority over the Commission and its mandate, rules and who is appointed to the commission.

Unrelated to this ruling, here is a courageous Canadian standing up to the totalitarianism of the Alberta "Human Rights" Commission:
