Andrew Murray Quote for the Week of October 6th 2013

"As the second Adam, Christ came and brought about a new nature for all the members of His body. This nature is His ow life, perfected through suffering and obedience. In thus being perfected Himself, His perfect life, is ours. And it is that not only judicially, or by imputation, but as an actual spiritual reality, in virtue of our real and living union with Him." page 79 of The Secret of God's Presence.

Re-Updated - Pastor Jacob Birch and The "Something" That is Wrong with Niagara

Update - September 12th 2013

With this week being the American Foundation for the Prevention of Suicide's Week to End Suicide campaign AND it also coinciding with the observed uptick in suicides here in Niagara Falls each fall, i thought i would include here 3 or 4 of the best @afspnational tweets of the week.






In America there are 2 suicides for every 1 homicide. In Canada in 2011 there are 598 homicides and 3,500 suicides... 5 times as many people take their own life in Canada as have it taken from them.

Ephesians 4:32
32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

A while back a truly horrific article was published in the Niagara Falls Review. Its 2nd sentence contains the assertion that "something is amiss" in Niagara.It went on to detail that 11% of Niagarians over the age of 20 ATTEMPT suicide every year. That is nearly double the 5.9% of Ontarians that try to end their lives every year.

In April CNN and Foxnews carried live coverage of the NRPS and the OPP talking a man back off the ledge at Table Rock  just above the Horseshoe Falls.

Today a man tried to run his car into the Niagara Gorge right by the Niagara AeroCar Tourist Attraction.

Bodies are regularly found in the river, most of them never reported. In fact the team at Niagara Helicopters supposedly makes a run every morning before they begin taking up tourists to check the whirlpool and lower Niagara River for bodies and body parts.
