We had a great time tonight! An unbelieving neighbour stop by and had a sip as we discussed the Gospel. He always thought Christians were self righteous, pious, holier than thou people...he was interested in talking about Christ. The door is open for further discussion.

Glory to God,

May the Lord of power give you grace to speak a word in season and use you to call out one of His sheep. May He open up the storehouse of His mercy and grace and pour out on that neighbor a bountiful blessing of saving faith. May the power of the Gospel be seen in you and in him.

Now I am fixing to go out under the stars and smoke my pipe in awe and admiration of the wonder of the Great and Glorious God who is beyond imagination but stoops to speak to chosen sinners by His word.

I'll just take a Triple Black Smirnoff Ice, please.........do you have any of those?

 

[JM]

That sounds pretty good.

On ice?

 

[MrJim]

Wee spot of Black Velvet....the Canadians are useful for a few things....

 

[JM]

True, we make whiskey for women!

Unless you try a 100% Canadian Rye which is only sold within our boarders. Alberta Springs and Alberta Premium is the tops.

From the point of view of a man who does not know Jesus, Christians who live as Christ would have them to live appear to be self righteous, pious, holier than thou people. After all, their free-from-sin lifestyle mightily convicts the sinner of his need of salvation, and some of these sinners hate Christians for it just like they hate everyone who is markedly different than they are. Other sinners, upon being convicted of their need of salvation—and seeing proof right in front of their eyes that salvation from sin is a genuine possibility—surrender their lives to Christ that they too may be saved from sin.

PG is on ignore and has been for a long time.

This pub is named in honour of the Baptist Pastor Elijah Craig (1738/1743 – May 18, 1808) who, legend has it, invented Bourbon.

And, if you ever make it to Kentucky, be sure to go on the Bourbon Trail, which has quite a few participating distilleries. Four Roses, Heaven's Hill, Jim Beam, Maker's Mark, Lexington Brewing and Distilling Company, Wild Turkey, Woodford Reserve (my personal favorite), and the Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Experience.

God save the Queen, God save the Dominion!

FUN FACT: The founders of Canada appealed to the Queen up until the 1920's or 30's to have Canada named, "The Kingdom of Canada."

That would have made all the difference

See, Canada was founded as a country within the British Realm, we are still apart of the Common Wealth. The Queen of England is by Canadian law The Queen of Canada and that was the way Canadians wanted it…many still do. We are a Constitutional Monarchy which derives its power to govern, not through the people, but through the Sovereign (King or Queen). I read some of the debates of the fathers of confederacy and they fought hard to distance themselves Republicanism believing democratic from Republicanism which was viewed as the recipe for anarchy. I can’t argue either way but we have a strong “rule of law” as long as Privy Council tradition doesn’t muck it up.

Yours in the Lord,
