Get Answers!
Does God exist?  How can anyone believe in religion when science has neither a need nor a place for God?  Is evolution happening today?  If God is a God of love, why do we suffer and die?

Creation Ministries International is coming to your area soon with answers to these important questions.  Come and hear Clarence Janzen expose the bankruptcy of the evolutionary myth.  You'll be amazed to see how weak the scientific evidence for evolution is.

This is an issue that affects everyone.  Evolution teaches us there is no need for God, there is no spiritual realm, and there is no afterlife.  According to the theory, spirituality is just an evolutionary trick of the mind!

The Bible gives a very different picture about the nature of these things.  At this presentation, you will learn how the scientific evidence, when properly understood, confirms the details of the biblical account. At the same time, we will answer many of the Big Questions.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

October 27, 2018

Jesus, Sweet Jesus, Our Savior!

Greetings from Enderby! Today, I will have the honour to share God’s Word with this growing congregation in the Northern Okanagan region. They have built a beautiful new church facility and their membership comprises of many youth and young adults. Praise God for their achievement, for His glory!

I will be making my way to the NAD Year-end Meetings on Monday evening. I kindly request your prayers for those meetings as the leaders of our vast division will gather to pray, present and evaluate reports related to the progress of God’s work, and make plans for growth in our division.

This morning, I was touched by two beautiful quotations from Ellen White about our free salvation in Christ. My prayer is that they will also find a special place in your heart.

“The proud heart strives to earn salvation, but both our title to heaven and our fitness for it are found in the righteousness of Christ.” (DA, 300).

“Better than a title to the noblest palace on earth is a title to the mansions our Lord has gone to prepare. And better than all the words of earthly praise, will be the Saviour's words to His faithful servants, ‘Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.’ “ (COL, 374).

Then, consider connecting those two messages above with one of my favourite Bible verses as they relate to the Great Commission to each of us (individually) and the purpose of existence of our church: “To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Col. 1:27, ESV)
