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!

These days it seems that men who become pastors and those who are appointed as elders are more interested in being recognized by men and building 4 million dollar buildings than being a servant to all. They introduce themselves with titles and look to be "respected" by men. We are to humble ourselves or we will be humbled (Luke 14:11 For whoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted). God will worry about elevating us if He sees that we are worthy of it. We must seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. We must be holy even as our Father in heaven is holy. It should be our sincere desire and goal to press in and press on in the Lord, to grow daily, and to eat the meat of the word. I see so much denominationalism and hear so many "church building" strategies. Pastors rallying attendees to build their congregations, Churches not sharing buildings, wasting millions in utility bills, let alone building costs of unnecessary extra buildings that lie empty and locked 80% of the time or more. And by the way, where is the service to the poor (Galatians 2:10 Only they asked that we remember the poor, which very thing I was eager to do) and ministry to widows and orphans (James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit orphans and widows in their afflictions, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world) and the broken hearted (Luke 4:18-19 "The Spirit of the Lord is on Me; because of this He has anointed Me to proclaim the Gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and new sight to the blind, to set at liberty those having been crushed, (19) to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.")? In the ministry I am in, the Lord has had me visit many churches and the consistent trend is that churches are almost exclusively social clubs for those that call themselves Christians; whether or not they are Christians is another question. There is nothing wrong with getting together and fellowshipping, even on a regular basis, but why not fellowship while acting in the service of others? Why not serve those in need and at the same time share the truth of the good news, that we have all sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God, but that Christ paid the price for those sins on the cross in order that we would not have to. Yes we all deserve hell, and no, none of us will ever earn salvation, but the shed blood of Jesus bridged the great divide between our "filthy rags" righteousness and His holiness. Paul said it clearly, 1 Corinthians 1:10-15 "But I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. (11) For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. (12) But I say this, that every one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ. (13) Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized in the name of Paul? (14) I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, (15) lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name." We must stop the madness. The self righteous elevation of self. We are to consider one another better than ourselves, as Paul writes Philippians 2:1-3 "If there is therefore any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tendernesses and mercies, (2) then fulfill my joy, that you may be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord and of one mind. (3) Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves." If you consider yourself a Christian, please for the love of God and the sake of the kingdom, act like it.
