  About Us

  • At Concerned Christians Canada, we are committed to speaking out and bringing the truth of God's word to bare on all aspects of society and life. Speaking into the culture is in fact being the salt of this world that Christ called us to be.

  • Christ said we are the light of the world. He said that we are not to hide this light under a bushel but that we are to live as examples of holiness and Godliness in this dark world. With our projects, which are focused on serving and blessing, we are committed to demonstrating the love of Christ without forsaking the gospel. We regognize that we are to be salt and light, not salt or light.

  • Concerned Christians Canada is encouraging Christians, who are called by Christ's name to stand for Christ, and when they have done all to stand, to stand having girded themselves with the armor of God. We are sounding the trumpet call to all men and women that love the Lord to be the watchmen over the nation that we are called to be.

    Our nation, although founded by men who believed in the God of the Bible, has markedly departed not only from holding the Bible up as THE authority for and above all men, but has substancially departed from honoring the God of the Bible.

     

  • There are many attacks on the Biblical definition of the family. God has blessed his definition of marriage, other choices bring curses, not only on the adults but also on the children and on the society that embraces those choices.

    CCC is committed to explaining the benefits for God's design for marriage. As an organization, we are also committed to promoting God's model, to individuals, groups and politicians.

  • In this day and age, youth are hurting. Whether it be that they have been wounded by sexual, physical, emotional or spiritual abuse, at home or elsewhere, or broken by "dating" which has left them abandoned and broken, whether they have had stability and security robbed from them due to their parents divorcing, or any of a myriad of other problems, children are more and more hopeless and need to know that Christ is for them if the turn to Him. Find out how CCC is reaching out to youth.

     

  • We need your prayer support.

    God is our source and our provider, but he uses people like us to pray for one another, to edify one another and to build each other up in the faith. He uses people like us working together in the Spirit of Christ to change lives. Find out how CCC is encouraging the body of Christ to work together to Pray, Act and Make a Difference!

I received a question today on Mormonism.  I thought I would share my response with you:

Q: So what do you think about mormons?

A: Some Mormons may be saved in spite of the religious teachings they are under, I am not their judge, God is. 

Religion cannot save you, only a right relationship with Jesus Christ can.  Many Mormons tend to believe that their works will save them - Galatians 2:16   yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

Jesus and the apostles warned us to beware of wolves in sheep's clothing - Matthew 7:15-27   "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.  (16)  You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?  (17)  So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.  (18)  A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.  (19)  Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.  (20)  Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.  (21)  "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  (22)  On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'  (23)  And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'  (24)  "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  (25)  And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.  (26)  And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.  (27)  And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."

While faith in Christ saves us, proof of our faith is demonstrated through works through obedience to Christ and a desire to fulfil His will for our lives.

Even in the days of the apostles already pretenders rose up - "2 Corinthians 11:13-15   For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.  (14)  And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.  (15)  So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds." 

We are to be careful not to be deceived by false teachings.  Joseph Smith the founder of Mormonism confessed that an angel appeared to him to give him his latter day revelation. Paul addressed this - Galatians 1:6-12   I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel --  (7)  not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.  (8)  But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.  (9)  As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.  (10)  For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.  (11)  For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel.  (12)  For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

Mormonism teaches that Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer (basically another angel).  Jesus is not an angel but the distinct Son of God whom the Father sent as a sacrifice for our sin.  John 3:16-21   "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.  (17)  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.  (18)  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.  (19)  And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.  (20)  For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.  (21)  But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God."  (For more on what Mormons believe about Christ read - http://www.utlm.org/onlineresources/ldsleadersconceptofjesus.htm)

Jesus created all things including the angels (whom Lucifer (Satan) is one).  Jesus is not equal with Satan but is exalted above all creation and is worthy of all glory and honour and praise.  John 1:1-5   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  (2)  He was in the beginning with God.  (3)  All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.  (4)  In him was life, and the life was the light of men.  (5)  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Jesus warned us that their would be false Christs who would masquerade as Him - Matthew 24:23-27   Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it.  (24)  For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.  (25)  See, I have told you beforehand.  (26)  So, if they say to you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, 'Look, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.  (27)  For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

There are many sects and cults today masquerading as Christianity, but they either deny Christ's deity, His full humanness, his virgin birth, that He was resurrected, or they in some way corrupt His nature.  In order to know Christ and have a right relationship with Him, we need the truth.  The Mormon religion has claimed many things which have been proved incorrect.  You can get a sense of this from ministries such as Utah Lighthouse Ministry (http://www.utlm.org/).

God will judge all to see who is in Christ on the day of judgement, those who are in Christ will receive eternal life, those who are not, will be condemned.  Those who truly seek after the Truth will find the real Jesus Christ and will have eternal life, those who desire religion and false gods place their faith in the creation rather than the creator and will not receive eternal life because they are not separated from their sins.  Through Christ our sins can be separated from us as far as the east is from the west.

I hope that this has helped.  Let me know if you have any other questions.

God bless you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
