~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 今年一月，Franklin Graham 曾在佛罗里达州的Tallahassee针对美国总统大选说了这样一段话（大意），“We all know our country is in trouble，spiritual trouble，economic trouble，political trouble，race trouble，......；our nation is in trouble。There is no political party can fix this。.....I have no hope on the democratic party；no hope on republic party，nor tea party，and no anybody else。My only hope is on Almighty God；it is the only hope！”（我们都知道我们的国家有麻烦了：信仰的，经济的，政治的，种族的，等等。没有政党能解决麻烦。我不寄托希望于民主党，或共和党，或者茶党；没有政党能解决那些麻烦。我唯一的希望是全能上主；那是唯一的盼望。） 现如今的加拿大又何尝不是那样呢？如果我说，“We often think how the world has changed，time has changed，Toronto has changed，society of north America has changed。Once upon a time，Canadian used to be more friendly to Gospel。好几十年以前，Canada still had a strong church base。 But it is not as strong as 50 years ago。 Today when you come to city of north American，in Canada，we see secularization everywhere just as we see in western country。Secularization is not any difference from communisim；they are all Godless；society without God。（我们常常会感觉世界变了，时间变了，多伦多变了，北美的社会变了。曾几何时，加拿大人对“福音还是很友好的”；加拿大还有很强的教会基础。但是现在已经不如50年前了。现如今，我们会像在欧洲国家那样，看见遍地的“世俗化”。“世俗化”其实同共产主义毫无二致，都是去上帝的---社会不要上帝。）”人们会怎样认为呢？ 正在为Franklin Graham“2017年温哥华布道”作各项预工的“The Festival of Hope”指出，“Canadians today know less about Jesus than at any other time in Canadian history.（现如今的加拿大比任何时候都越来越对耶稣基督感到陌生。）”但他们同时又指出，“Yet, research reveals many people are very interested in spirituality.” 我们都知道，“The most important thing we Christian can do is to pray to God。 We need to pray for people to confess thier sins。（基督徒最能够做的重要事情就是向上主祈祷---祈祷人们能忏悔。）”那么就让我们真诚地如此祷告上主吧。Our only hope is on Almighty God；that is the only hope！我们唯一的信和望寄托在全能的上主耶稣基督！
