Our Mission
The mission of ARPA Canada is to educate, equip, and encourage Reformed Christians to political action and to bring a biblical perspective to our civil authorities. ARPA Canada exists because we care. We care about our nation, our communities, our families, and our freedoms. Most of all, we care about what God says is good and right. Jesus Christ told us that the greatest commandment is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” and to “Love your neighbour as yourself.” How do we show love? By living our lives in devotion to Him.

ARPA Canada responds to the Trinity Western Supreme Court of Canada decision.
This is not all bad news ,if the law society is a private entity it has every right to exclude people who do not share their worldview. They are however seriously marginalizing themselves by aligning themselves with a tiny group who choose to be identified primarily by how they achieve sexual arousal, which happens to be a very fically unpredictable body function. This is what has to be argued in court sexual orientation is by no means an identity in the same way as skin color is

Supreme Court rules against TWU, placing public perception over rule of law - ARPA Canada
arpacanada.ca
For immediate release from the Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA) Canada June 15, 2018 Supreme Court rules against TWU, placing public perception over rule of law OTTAWA – This morning, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled against Trinity Western University and their proposed Christian ...
Canada A Christian Nation.... The fact that Canada was founded as a Christian nation has been pretty well bled from this nation by years of humanistic liberalism. However a basic knowledge of history will remind us that Canada has two founding nations the French who came here both Roman Catholic and protestant, Huguenots. And the English who came with their Anglicanism. We understand that there are numerous doctrinal differences between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism and its representative groups. However there is much commonality as well. Both groups hold to one true and living God, the God of the Bible, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There is agreement on the deity of Christ The atonement of Christ. And for our purposes, the ten Commandments stand as the law above the law. This is clearly reflected in the preamble of the constitution of Canada from The Constitution Act, of 1982 begins, “Canada is founded upon the principles that recognize “the supremacy of God and the rule of law.” A walk on parliament hill will reveal God‘s hand of blessing upon this nation in it beginnings. Three Bible verses are carved in stone onto the exterior of the Peace Tower. Among them is Canada’s motto, “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea (Psalm 72:8). This is seen on the East side of the Peace Tower. Two other passages can also be read. “Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son (Psalm 72:1) and “Where there is no vision, the people perish (Proverbs 29:18).

In just two days (June 15th) the Supreme Court will release its decision regarding the Trinity Western Law School. Those following this case will know that ARPA Canada intervened at the lower courts and also at the Supreme Court of Canada. On Friday morning, ARPA lawyers André Schutten and John Sikkema (with other lawyers involved in the case) will be allowed to read the judgement inside the Supreme Court before it is released to the public. Lord willing, they will be able to share their thoughts immediately afterwards with you, our dear supporters, via Facebook Live. If you aren’t able to catch them live, don’t worry – we’ll be sending further updates throughout the day on Friday. Be sure to check your email for the latest! #TWU
"Children are gifts from God, not products to procure or commodities to purchase."
There are some things money shouldn’t buy, like babies - ARPA Canada
arpacanada.ca
by Nick Suk (ARPA intern) Children are gifts from God, not products to procure or commodities to purchase. Procreation should take place within marriage, not through the deliberate fracturing of natural relationships. This biblical foundation is violated when a third party becomes part of the procre...
My daughter is from donor sperm. Still a gift from God. What causes the sperm to swim up and meet the egg? Back in the mid '80s a donor was paid for fresh (not frozen) sperm and it was only $75 per sample for insemination. It took three months, but I finally conceived. I believe that the practice of payment to the medical student donor is now illegal. I have encouraged my now-adult daughter to join the donor children registry, but I don't believe she has done so. She is now a married registered nurse who delivers babies and she has three beautiful children of her own (conceived naturally). I have NEVER regretted my decision and I am Catholic. She is my only daughter. She was NOT "bought" as a purchase has a guarantee. No way of "guaranteeing" conception, live birth or health of the baby.

Doesn't endanger my religious freedom. We can go to church, tell people about Christ and help the poor. You just can't force people to take a pledge that goes against the charter. We can not protect our children from the world....that is naive. We must teach them to be a light in the world.

Very shameful on the part of our National judiciary that Christians can't be lawyers and Christian universities can't offer law degrees. It is a slippy slope to Totalitarianism at the very least and may bring God's judgment on all of Canada.

15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability. Our charter is filled with these kinds of protections. They are choosing to discriminate against one group based on personal opinions. If not protected by the law, what are we protected by? God of course protects us I know, but law is law. I fail to see their logic here. These freedoms are meant to fair for all.
3 days ago · 3So does this mean TWU can still run a law school but it may produce law grads who will not be accredited by the law society? Or is the law school itself not accredited /recognized in some provinces.

2 days ago · 2Well, Mike Schouten: I have a gay friend who attended a Bible college for 3 years. He had to keep his inborn sexual identity a secret. It was a VERY difficult time for him. That said, I think people who do not agree with TWU can and SHOULD choose another educational institution.
2 days agoI love it when this apologist complained that the Supreme Court took a narrow view of religion... they were not wrong to do so because I'm sure they were well aware of the floodgates of abuse that would have opene3d should they have ruled the other way. Religion just gets mad when they don't get their own way which, more often than not, is to foist their 'narrow' beliefs onto others who don't share their beliefs. We don't need a Christian Law school anymore than we need a Christian University or a Christian anything-else for that matter. Keep your Christianity in your homes and in the churches... period. Freedom of Religion also means Freedom FROM religion. Freedom of Religion doesn't mean any religious group gets to exhibit anti-social behaviour or flaunt secular laws just because their belief tells them to. That is anarchy.
