HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, February 13, 2026 – In the lead-up to the Flood, Noah continued to preach, even while knowing (because God told him) that he and his family would be the only ones spared. Likewise, Moses shepherded the children of Israel through the wilderness for 40 years, all the while knowing (because God told him) that of those who were 20 years or older when they left Egypt, only Joshua and Caleb would make it to the Promised Land. And in the tribulation to come, scripture tells us that two witnesses will preach to the remnant and to a spiritually dead people, the latter who will never turn back to God.

One of the heaviest crosses we bear as bornagain believers is witnessing and ministering to those we know will never turn. In these cases, we don’t witness and minister for their sake, but because God tells us to. It’s our duty as God’s children to witness and minister, even if our efforts bear no visible fruit.

Especially if our efforts bear no visible fruit.

I live in Canada. I was born here and have lived here most of my life. I was not raised as a believer but I became a believer as an adult. Since then, I’ve watched the percentage of professing believers decline to the point that Canada now is, sadly, minority Christian.

Canada was founded in 1867 as a nation with an overwhelmingly majority Christian population (around 99%). It remained majority Christian until about a decade ago. And, as we know, a nation that is minority Christian is by default majority demon. There’s no third option. There’s no “secular nation”. Secular is yet another euphemism for demonic.

So here I am, living in a majority-demon country that in less than 150 years morphed from nearly 100% Christian to far less than 50%. Most other Western nations have suffered similar fates during the same timeframe. The United States appears to be the last man standing with regard to the rate of decline of its Christian population, but it’s still declining. Just slower.

And yet even amidst this unstoppable (because prophesied) downward spiritual trajectory, we still need to preach – first and foremost to each other, but also as witnesses to unbelieving nations. And we do so knowing that our words (other than those we share among ourselves) will be rejected and cursed and twisted back onto us as a trap. I’ve seen it happen over and over again, the purposely malignant misinterpretation of God’s Word, and still I continue to preach. It’s my job, as a bornagain believer. I cannot not preach.

For the past 11 years, this blog has served as my main witness, not because it’s aimed at unbelievers (it’s very much and solely aimed at bornagain believers) but because unbelievers come here, some out of curiosity and some looking for ammo to use against me when the time is right. I give it to them freely, the ammo, only I call it Truth and God’s Word. Let them call it what they want.

Just like God sends the sun and rain on both the just and unjust, we’re to witness first and foremost to each other, and if unbelievers wander by while we’re witnessing, let them hear. Even better – hand them some soap as the Word washes over them. It may be that some of the grime will be washed from their soul, and their eternity won’t be as bad as it would have been.

We can be under no illusion that the prophesied falling away is reversible. It can be slowed but not reversed. Noah knew that only his family would make it to the ark. Moses knew that only Joshua and Caleb would make it to the Promised Land. We know that only bornagain believers (and not even all bornagain believers) will make it Home. And yet still we preach. And yet still we witness – to each other first and foremost, but also to whomsoever will for whatsoever reason.

Though the general spiritual trajectory is now downward, ours is ever upward. We’re to draw as many upward with us as we can, while there’s still time.
