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!

Many are teaching either a partial or completely false message of salvation. The true message of salvation is a balanced message. This message will aim to reveal the complete saving message not leaving out any critical aspect. Many are teaching either a partial or completely false message of salvation. The true message of salvation is a balanced message. This message will aim to reveal the complete saving message not leaving out any critical aspect. Anything less than a full salvation message will either place people in bondage or lead them to believe that they are saved when, in fact, they are really still in their sins. Some people are preaching holiness, judgement and the wrath of God, without teaching the love, mercy and grace of God. While this type of preaching may get people saved, it also has the tendency of placing people in bondage believing in an angry God that is watching their every move, just waiting to stomp on them if they go out of line. Others are preaching, what some are calling an "easy believism gospel". This type of preaching looks to get as many to confess Christ as possible, by making it easy to accept Christ, thus they omit "the hard stuff". This kind of salvation message most likely will not produce true disciples for Christ, as it is a "just add Jesus" message. Essentially, it asks the sinner to accept a trouble free, non-life changing, no-commitment required faith which tells them that they are essentially just bad kids in wrong relationship with their loving Father and that He just wants to fix their relationship with a little dose of Jesus. Often this message tells them nothing of their emnity with God, His holiness, and the fact that they are completely unacceptable to God without the blood atonement of Christ for the full remission of their sins.
God gives us an example of how to present a salvation message in an often quoted verse of scripture; John 3:16-21 MKJV For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (17) For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. (18) He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. (19) And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil. (20) For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed. (21) But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God. As we can see from these passages, Jesus did not just speak about the benefits of believing in Him. He spoke of the depravity of man, the fallen sin nature, about judgement and condemnation, and He bundled it with God's love, mercy and grace. We need to do the same. Anything less will mislead people and neglect the proper delivery of the complete truth of the gospel.
