National House of Prayer

The Week of May 17th at NHOP

Due to weeks of public outcry from people across Canada, the Conservative Party was able to force the Liberals to halt Bill C-10 until it has been reviewed for its constitutionality. We will oppose Bill C-10 at every stage of the legislative process.

Today the House of Commons discussed the Senate amendments to Bill C-7. The amendments have totally changed the scope of the bill, adding an 18-month sunset cl...ause to allow mental illness to be the sole qualifying factor for accessing MAiD, and allowing for advance directives to be ordered before a patient even receives a diagnosis. Medical assistance in dying was supposed to be an option for those at the end of their lives. This bill would blow that door wide open. This Frankenstein Bill now includes elements that were never discussed in the House or addressed by witnesses at committees. It also goes far beyond what the Truchon Decision ever called for. I’m proud to have taken part in this debate and I will continue to stand up for vulnerable Canadians.

ARPA is pleased to release our newest Respectfully Submitted policy report on Elder Care! COVID has exposed cracks in our society's approach of honouring our f...ather and mother. This report recommends greater family involvement in elder care, priority for home-based care, and the consideration of purpose and meaning when determining how to provide long-term care.

Inspired today by the witness of John Harper - the ‘bravest man on The Titanic’ - whose last letter just sold at Sotheby’s for an eye-watering 42,000. He’d bo...arded the Titanic bound for Chicago having been invited to preach at the city’s Moody Church. His wife had recently died so he was travelling with his sister and six-year-old daughter Annie Jessie. When the great ship began to sink, survivors recalled Harper taking off his life jacket and giving it to another man, saying simply, ‘You need it more than I do.’ Others described him preaching the gospel, preparing people for eternity, right to the very end. Having ensured that his sister and daughter had made it into a lifeboat, Harper remained and soon found himself immersed in the icy water, floating near another drowning man. Are you saved? he called. No, I’m not saved! the desperate man replied. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, he cried, and you will be saved! Moments later Harper disappeared beneath the surface, never to return, but that man was indeed saved. Four years later he testified to his conversion at that moment in a tract entitled John Harper’s Last Convert. Annie Jessie (Harper ’s six-year-old daughter) and her aunt arrived safely in New York, rescued by the Carpathia, and only then learned of her father’s heroic death. She went on to be the oldest Scottish Titanic survivor. Her father’s life had been characterized by two consuming commitments to the urgency of the gospel and a passion for prayer. He would sometimes spend all night interceding. His brother George wrote, My beloved brother was a man mighty in prayer. He was a master of this holy art. I have been with him in prayer again and again when his whole frame shook like an aspen leaf, so earnest was he in his pleadings with God for a perishing world. Little wonder hard hearts were broken and stubborn wills subdued under his ministry. A fellow evangelist, W.D. Dunn, gave this report, I can say that no pastor, nor teacher, nor evangelist ever moved my inner being more than the pleading and preaching of John Harper. He was always on fire for God and souls. How often I heard him say, when lying on his face before God covered with perspiration, ‘O God give me souls or I die!’ I am inspired by John Harper to pray more passionately, to preach the gospel more courageously, to sacrifice myself more willingly, and to communicate more lovingly with others, never knowing which letter, which email (which social media post!) will in fact be my last.
