BC has crownland abounding. We've got such high mountains and deep valleys growing up I've been over 9000ft snowmobiling and a couple hours later swimming in the lake below in the hot summer sun all in the same day. Beautiful waterfalls, natural hit springs, lots of wildlife, glaciers, clear waterwa...

I used to be verbally abusive and inconsiderate of my wife as an unbeliever. But now I excitedly attend Nationwide while my wife does not have interest in being a member or sending our children to the church school. I am continually encouraged and reminded from this local body to be kind, considerat...

Just a thought regarding death - it has been estimated that 70,000 people die each day without ever hearing about Jesus. Why is this not a big issue to us Christians compared to concern over a virus that is killing roughly 1,000 a day and will soon become much less ? Seems an eternal perspective on...

This type of logic is so flawed and ridiculous coming from a doctor I don't know why p...

True story: I grew up atheist eating most these things especially the sugary cereals like fruit loops. I would eat at least one heeping bowl for breakfast and often a second one later in the day after school. I had digestive issues and conventional doctors with their many tests and "science&quo...

That's exactly the same as saying "if everyone would have been wearing masks we would be out of it by now". The reality does not support that presumption. No, I don't think so at all. Masks aren't a fix - but they are one part of limiting spread (and thus the number of deaths). Frankly, I...
