Christians view the rise of totalitarianism in Canada and around the world with understandable concern. But FBB blogger Shafer Parker argues that our concern should drive us to a deeper trust in God.

Moviemakers are currently fascinated with the idea of the multiverse, but the real story is that the kind of Grand Narrative once shared by most of the people no longer exists. People freely choose for themselves what they believe is real, creating multiverses of their own, seldom realizing that the absence of a shared understanding of reality can result in the breakdown of society. It is our Christian duty, as ambassadors for Christ, to remind the world that the Biblical worldview is reality.

That young adults are leaving the church in droves is old news. But FBB intern Kim Spence writes to say that everything she has learned, from her university philosophy class to her own personal experience, undergirds the message that fullness of life in Christ isn't possible apart from active participation in the worship and ministry of God's people in the church.
