  The Empress and the Bishop - The...

  Every so often, a voice or preacher comes to challenge a city: Augustine in Hippo and Carthage, Savonarola in Florence, Calvin in Geneva and more recently Spurgeon in nineteenth-century London. In the late fourth century in Antioch, and then in Constantinople, it was the Golden Mouth (Chrysostom) of John whose voice and teaching carried the day.
  
   
  Given to an ascetic life, he became the principal preacher in Antioch, where followers of the Way were first called Christians, and was then handpicked to be the Bishop of Constantinople, the New Rome founded by Constantine. Although loved by the people, he criticized the rich and their vanity, called for simplicity of life and chastity in sexual relations and methodically and engagingly preached through the Bible. But in Constantinople he made enemies both of the court and of the mercurial Empress Aelia Eudoxia, and more especially of jealous church leaders in Alexandria and elsewhere. Sent into exile precipitating a riot, he died of cold and exhaustion in an obscure part of Armenia, but not before conducting a moving correspondence with his soulmate Olympias, an Abbess in Constantinople.
  
   
  His golden voice lived on in his luminous teaching, and the heavenly Orthodox liturgy to which his name was given.

  Jonathan Edwards is often referred to as America’s greatest theologian. He lived from 1703-1758, and was used by God in the American Great Awakening. Justification by Faith Alone was a printed discourse based on the sermons he had preached on Justification during the 1730’s that led to a great revival among the people in his area. This audiobook is read from Edwards’ original text with only a few minor changes to make it more understandable to the listener. His main argument was: “That we are justified only by faith in Christ, and not by any manner of virtue or goodness of our own,” and he divided his discourse into five main parts.“In handling this doctrine, I would,I. Explain the meaning of it, and show how I would be understood by such an assertion.II. Proceed to the consideration of the evidence of the truth of it.III. Show how evangelical obedience is concerned in this affair.IV. Answer objections.V. Consider the importance of the doctrine.”

  Overlooked - The Forgotten...

  An honest assessment of the spiritual ground we inhabit begins by acknowledging the criticisms many Canadians have about the church are valid. We have to see that the church's traditional treatment of women, our inability to calmly address the shifting moral norms of our society, our pandering, or our obsession with certain church models and church language has worked against us. We have to admit Christianity has been used as a tool of oppression. 
  Each generation in this land from the 1500s and on has dealt with the perceived lack of Christian influence over this place. The who, what, when, where, and why are different but the outcomes and responses were noticeably similar. Even in a country as young as Canada, there have always been those who lamented and feared the loss of time-tested Christianity...make no mistake, when it comes to the struggles of declining Christianity, Canada has been here before.
