Freedom is the most valuable right a government can ensure. That sweet fragrance of being free, to set your own path, worship your own way and speak your mind without fear. To raise your children the way you see fit, chose a job, and travel whenever you wish. To live with liberty driving every heartbeat is precious to the soul. Our freedom stems from the form of government we live under. Democracy is a system that should allow the people to determine who leads the nation, who writes the laws and what laws to live under. Ronald Reagan said “Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honourable form of government ever devised by man”. Other nations in history have tried various forms of government but freedom-based democracy is what people yearn for.

It is true that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. But today we live in a post-modern world where moral relativism rules and people no longer seek the truth. Hearing will lead some to Christ but others will not accept. Thankfully the Gospel has an answer. Jesus Christ commands us to not only share the Gospel but also pray for the sick. God is a miracle working God and is longing to show a lost and dying world that He is real, power, loving and supernatural. Can this be accomplished with intellect alone? Healing is as vital to the Great Commission as is preaching but how can we be administrators of God’s healing power?

A Toronto photographer who was acquitted of possession of “repulsive” child pornography he amassed as part of an art project was ordered convicted by Ontario’s highest court.
Madam Justice Louise Botham acquitted Robert Katigbak in 2008 after she accepted the 32-year-old’s version that he spent seven years gathering images of children being sexually assaulted.
In an unanimous judgment released Tuesday, the Ontario Court of Appeal quashed that acquittal and replaced it with a conviction for possession of 628 images and 30 video clips of children and babies being sexually assaulted.

The decision by Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty to back away from a controversial new sex education curriculum for the province's schools has been greeted with relief by some interest groups and concern by others.
"It's become pretty obvious to us that we should give this a serious rethink," McGuinty told reporters Thursday.
