Becoming a Christian Heritage Party candidate

In this political season, it seems probable that somewhere a candidate would be called to run based on the prompting of God. That's definitely the case. . .with a fringe party in Canada. According to The Lindsay Post, Dave Switzer is slated to run a modest campaign that will leave the result in God's hands:

'There wasn't anyone forthcoming to run,' he said. 'God spoke to my heart that he wanted me as a candidate for the Christian Heritage Party.'

Switzer explained the four main issues he will deal with are abortion, climate change, families and gay marriage.

Giving back through the Salvation Army

Canada's Advertiser recently ran an article about Bill and Marilyn Francis, the highest-ranking Salvation Army officers for the Canada/Bermuda territory. In the article, Marilyn talked about God's role in her joining the Salvation Army:

It wasn't until she met Commissioner Bill that she became involved. She was a schoolteacher, but says God spoke to her in a dramatic way, reminding her of the job he had for her.

'If you have everything for yourself, and you have a heart for people who have nothing, you know there has to be some way to give back but you don't know what to do,' she said. 'At least for my own heart, I was longing for that. God knew it and revealed that to me as I prayed and asked me to join the Salvation Army.'

Although their jobs are demanding, the couple has found it to be very rewarding to be changing the world and turning around hopeless situations.
