What’s Behind the Fall of the Western World?

Today, July 1, is Canada Day, the anniversary of the nation’s confederation in 1867. Happy Canada Day to all of my international supporters!

It’s rather sad now that when many Christians hear “Canada,” they think of spiritual darkness, restricted Christian freedoms, and very progressive euthanasia laws. Yes, there are very sad and very evil things happening in that nation. But God is also working!

We have an office in Canada, headed up by Calvin Smith. The AiG–Canada team is doing amazing work, especially on social media, reaching Canadians and others around the world through their numerous excellent YouTube videos (among other outreaches). If you haven’t yet subscribed to their channel, I encourage you to do so.

I thought I’d highlight one of their recent videos, part 1 in a series about the fall of the West—who is behind it, why it’s occurring, and how we can make sense of the cultural chaos around us. Check it out:

Today on Canada Day, remember to pray for that nation and our AiG office and staff in that nation. And if you’re Canadian, happy Canada Day from AiG–US!

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
