In other words, there are some things that are right for everyone regardless of who they are and when they live. Though the governments are the ones who enshrine and enforce these rights, they do not create them. Governments recognize their existence and then shape laws intended on protecting and promoting them. I know that some of you are thinking that many people who support and protect human rights would call themselves relativists and atheists. But their efforts to advance just treatment of others exists in contradiction to their stated philosophy. Relativists must always live in tension with the universe and humanity. This is because the universe is impossible to understand without referring to order and design. Even the evolutionary worldview appeals to a sense of ascending complexity overseen by some type of ‘providential’ energy. The story begins with disorderly slime and ascends to complex humanity. [Return to top of page] The nature of humanity also contradicts the relativist. Inborn in every person is an innate sense of justice. Every child is outraged when treated unjustly. If there is no ultimate meaning and purpose to life, then the very quest for rights is a delusional and pointless pursuit. Some relativists will admit this, but most declared relativists cannot. They contradict their stated view of the nature of truth by their passionate cries against the violation of women’s rights or the oppression of specific identity groups. Which brings me to the strange real-world result of those who pursue the expansion of rights while being philosophically committed to relativism—real rights are destroyed. How can this be? Let me demonstrate with current events. The federal government is now asking any organization that applies for a summer student grant to indicate that they support reproductive rights of women (abortion being part of this). Organizations such as the Mustard Seed in Alberta and all Christian Camps are suddenly faced with signing away their right to hold a Pro-Life theology to receive government funds to hire students in the summer. Abortion is justified on the notion that a fetus, though human, is not a person and is not only outside of legal protection, but under the authority of the mother alone. She has the power of life or death over her fetus. The right to an abortion is characterized as a hard-won woman’s right (even though in Canada it is not a right and is only permitted because no law exists to define and control it). And the present federal government is insisting that to protect this right it will now actively discourage religious organizations from publicly opposing it (through restricting their access to government funds). [Return to top of page] All genuine human rights compliment each other because they all rest on the idea that all are created equal by God. Rights that are promoted by those who believe that we are self-defining beings ultimately erode genuine rights. The great irony is that the rights advocates are actually advancing the end of their freedom, not the expansion of it, because they are destroying the traditional rights that their freedom depends on. If we believe that we are meaningless beings, while fighting for greater freedom and justice, our efforts will actually destroy the very society we long to preserve and improve. The reason for this is simple. Genuine rights are not the product of our imagination—they are eternal and Genuine rights are not the product of our imagination unchangeable. They are discovered, not invented. They —they are eternal and unchangeable. are God-defined, not man-conceived. I guarantee that the current campaigns for an expansion of human rights will result in dramatic loss of rights for everyone. People of faith are faced with that already, but so will progressive rights advocates, because they are advancing all of us closer to the day when the government will realize that they are no longer accountable to any group. Governments without a sense of accountability to God and to the people of their nations always do terrible things (because they come to believe they are the ultimate standard of justice and truth). So please do not misdiagnose the efforts we are making to maintain the rights of Canadians to believe in God, run schools that reflect that belief, and hold government to account. We are not simply working to keep our schools open—we are hoping to keep Canada free for everyone. Transcendent, God-focused rights bring dignity and purpose to all people. Rights that arise from an atheistic orientation, ultimately dismantle free societies, and leave human authorities with absolute, destructive powers. The last century saw this in places like the USSR and China (as well as Europe under the Fascists). Let’s pray, lobby, and work to prevent our country from becoming a human rights violator in this century. If we are not willing to fight for our unalienable rights under God, we will experience diminishing rights under man.

  • Catalogue Prairie College
    2018-2019 2019-2020 Catalogue Prairie College Note: the information in this catalogue is current as of its publication date. Updated information can be found here (academic programs), here (student fees and aid), and here (academic policies). 1 Prairie Academic Catalogue FROM OUR PRESIDENT L. E. Maxwell, Prairie’s co-founder and my grandfather, shared that “none of us dreamed what God was going to do out here on these barren prairies.” In truth, no one could have dreamed that over the years 17,000 students would leave this place prepared to serve God in 114 countries around the world. With a 95-year history, it is amazing to reflect on what God has done through this place, but it is equally encouraging to see what He is doing today. I have been energized by conversations with our current students. Here are just a few of their comments: “I’m learning so much from God’s Word. I have grown hugely in my walk with God.” “The faculty cares! Bible classes are among Prairie’s biggest strengths.” “I’m just happy you guys gave me an extra chance…” “This year has gone too fast. I don’t want to leave...” “Thank you for the Bible.” (Every student receives a Bible as a gift, symbolic of our commitment to holistic Bible teaching.) Training for Service to meet the Greatest Needs in the World... I thank God that as students encounter the whole text of Scripture, and interact with staff and faculty, lives are being transformed! Our desire is that all Prairie College students will be prepared to address the greatest needs around them with confidence and hope.

  • Transferability
    Registrar's Office TRANSFERABILITY You may be able to transfer Prairie credits to other institutions to further your education. Many institutions in Canada and the US give varying numbers of transfer credits for courses completed here. Prairie is accredited through the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE). This opens transfer doors for students going to other ABHE schools, and it often has a favourable influence on schools outside ABHE. Our transcripts show that we are ABHE accredited. You may also wish to mention this when you submit your transcripts. Prairie is also a member of the Alberta Council on Admissions and transfer (ACAT), and has had a limited number of courses accepted for automatic transfer to various institutions in the province. See http://alis.alberta.ca/ps/ep/aas/ta/transferalberta.html for more information. These and other institutions in Alberta may give transfer credit for courses not listed with ACAT. Graduates of Prairie College have been accepted at seminaries and graduate schools such as Regent College, the University of Edinburgh, Trinity Western University, Yale Divinity School, Duke University, and Tyndale Seminary. Many seminaries give advanced standing to graduates from our Bible and ministry programs. We have an agreement with Carey Theological College which enables graduates on some PC programs to complete their Master of Divinity at Carey in two years instead of the usual three. It is the receiving institution that makes the decision on transfer of Prairie courses. Please contact other institutions directly to receive their policies. Note that transfer is usually given for comparable subject matter completed with a grade at or above a specified minimum.
