By Samuel James “God keep our land…glorious and free…” Whenever we sing the Canadian national anthem at a sports game, this line sticks out. What’s funny is that most people have no notion of its significance. Few of us realize that this is a devout prayer by Canada’s founding fathers, asking God to preserve our nation. As a Christian, I believe there is a direct correlation between our country rejecting the principles it was founded upon and its current decline. Although a

How can I begin to describe Canada – the second largest nation in the world in landmass, home to millions of lakes and poutine-loving people? Whose citizens are typically stereotyped as being friendly and polite, which, for the most part, is true… until you encounter the gridlocked traffic in Vancouver, Toronto, or Halifax. Or until you give them a hockey stick and put them on the ice against an opponent… *coughs* For a nation so large, so naturally stunning, and so wealthy,

It's a pleasure to once again have my friend, Connor, write for The Remnant. Not only is he a great writer and fantastic world-builder, but he's also a wonderful, godly teen who is going to do great things. This well-researched article talks about the disappearance of "true love" in our society and what the solution to getting it back is. Welcome back to The Remnant for another guest post, Connor! "To love is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be

Hello, hello! I'm back with a new blog post after an unplanned hiatus. I hope you will enjoy reading this one and that it encourages you in the ways of the Lord. <3 In Luke 22:54-62, there’s a detail that always jumps out at me. In this passage, Jesus has been arrested and brought to the high priest’s house in the middle of the night. Earlier in the same chapter, Peter had said “‘Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death” (Luke 22:33). Jesus repl

You may have noticed I've been taking an impromptu break from blogging. I promise I will be back in May with more articles and fun content. Meanwhile, this article I posted a couple years ago is still just as important, inspiring, and true in April 2026. I hope you enjoy! I sighed and inwardly groaned. I reached for the TV remote and turned off the news. I can’t even watch the news for more than a couple minutes without being so discouraged, I thought. Almost ever

I’m going to be honest. I say that I want to follow God’s will above my own more than I actually do it. Even though there is literally no reason for me to doubt God’s goodness, His perfect plan for my life, or His ability to accomplish it, I still struggle to submit my will to His. I struggle to say the words Jesus spoke in the Garden of Gethsemane: “Nevertheless not my will, but Yours be done.” I can sing all the songs that proclaim of God’s faithfulness. I can m

I love the book of Ruth because of the many lessons and practical applications we can glean from it. This article was posted in October 2024, and I hope you enjoy it. It's one that's very close to my heart. I recently read through the book of Ruth in the Old Testament. Though I have often heard and read this wonderful story, reading it again has helped me take a closer look at God’s faithfulness to provide for His people. A Summary of Ruth

Do you sometimes struggle to fully realize that Jesus was just as much human as He was God? I find it difficult to picture my sinless, death-defeating Saviour with the occasional headache or blisters on His hands and feet. I have to remind myself that He too would’ve stood in line at the market, helped His mom with the dishes, laughed at His own jokes (maybe ;), and gone to His friends’ bar mitzvahs. But He also was tempted by the devil to sin. He had to hold His

Today a friend of mine has posted my article, "Rebuild the Altars," on her blog, The Vintage Heart! This article about the Old Testament story of Elijah and the prophets of the false god Baal is one that's been on my heart for a long time, so I hope you enjoy! I've gotten to know Mira, a fellow teen Christian writer, over the past year and helped her just a little bit when she was setting up her blog (yes, that was a flex 😏) a few months ago. Head on over to check out and s

One thing God has been showing me lately is a very powerful truth that is changing the way I respond to God’s guidance. Let’s take a look at three different characters in the Bible who not only understood this truth but also lived it out. 1. Abram In Genesis 12, God speaks to Abram saying, “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and y

I'm excited to introduce a friend of mine that I've had the pleasure of getting to know over the past year. Connor is not only a great writer and fantastic world-builder, but he's also a wonderful, godly teen who is going to do great things. He sent me this article to publish on The Remnant, and it fit perfectly with the theme of young people living uncompromised for God, regardless of our age. Enjoy! “When you’re older. You need more experience.” A majority of people under
