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!

Stelmach Avoids Question on Protecting Freedoms

Premier Stelmach, at a luncheon addressing a crowd gathered for a Premier's luncheon at a Chamber of Commerce meeting at the Westin Hotel January 30, 2008, dodged important questions regarding the state of Charter protected freedoms in Alberta.

Today at lunch, I attended a Premier Stelmach support dinner to speak out on issues of freedom. As some of you may or may not know authorities such as police forces, bylaw officers, and human rights commissions in Canada are being used as weapons against our dearly held "Guaranteed" Charter rights and freedoms.

In Canada, we have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms which clearly states:

Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law:

Guarantee of Rights and Freedoms

1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.

2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:

a) freedom of conscience and religion;
b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;

c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and

d) freedom of association.

All of these rights have been trampled on by police officers, byflaw officers, and human rights commissions across Canada and including in Alberta.

During the luncheon, Premier Stelmach indicated that we need to leave a legacy for future generations. I stated that in view of the fact that human rights commissions are being used to censor and silence free speech, a Christian politician is being denied his elected position based on his faith and confession of biblical truths, and police and bylaw officers are abusing their authority to deny God given and Charter protected human rights, what did Premier Stelmach intend to do to protect the Charter rights of citizens of Alberta going forward?

Premier Stelmach as much as denied that there are human rights violations going on in this province, being perpetrated by the very authorities that are supposed to protect those freedoms, including the Premier himself. In his response our premier talked about his heritage and about oppression in Canada's past and then went on to say that these types of rights violations would not be allowed to happen on his watch.

If I had been allowed to rebut his reply, I would have re-enforced the fact that these types of human rights violations are occurring right now, and he is doing nothing to stop them. Interesting to see the legacy our premier envisions.
