As The Salvation Army, here's how we can support "ex-vangelicals" as they deconstruct and reconstruct their faith.
While I am grateful personally for faith, grace and peace, I also believe it is needed and available for us as the Canada and Bermuda Territory. God intends to do great things among and through us as we are on this journey of transformation.
A Pandemic of Loneliness
Feeling isolated? Chances are, you’re not alone.
by Captain Laura Van SchaickIn Genesis 2, God says: “It is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18). Humans are inherently social, but the past two years have perhaps been the most isolating in a century. What role can the church play in building authentic community?
The communities of our world need us to stand out and be beacons of light and hope as followers of Jesus, as holy people. We can be the place where people find belonging, in discovering they belong to God.
Following the gospel is quite simple. We can show our kids that reaching out to Jesus and following him adds so much love and joy to our lives.
Crime and Punishment
Does the Canadian criminal justice system believe that people can be redeemed?
by Rebekah McNeillyIs the way we see incarcerated people compatible with the gospel?
What are the needs ex-vangelicals demonstrate that we are not meeting today?
It ought to be a natural and loving response to want to serve the One who saved us from our sins. Romans 12:1-13 tells us that we should make our whole selves available to God in self-sacrificial service and, in humble co-operation with other fellow Christians (each using their own talents and spiritual gifts), be united in our efforts to see the work of the church continue and flourish.
Honouring God While Caring for the Planet
Restoring relationships with people and places.
by Ed CovertThe Salvationist’s theology of creation care is like a three-legged stool, focusing on our relationship with God, with each other and to the earth. Damage, breakdown, brokenness and loss to any one of the three legs must be repaired so that the stool can function for the purpose it was created.
