Opinion: Voting at Vancouver city council: A puzzle, a vexing puzzle Original
Breadcrumb Trail Links Home Opinion Op-Ed If the ABC party and its progressive voting allies believed that upzoning to facilitate higher densities would accomplish affordability, why did they hold this view when anecdotal and analytical evidence show this belief is false?, writes David Ley.

Opinion: Voting at Vancouver city council: A puzzle, a vexing puzzle
David Ley: What is puzzling to residents is that on significant housing and development issues, government and opposition have coalesced into a single voting bloc — councillors have accepted, without evidence, the argument that more housing supply means more home affordability.

Supplementation with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to extremely preterm infants associates with development of the intestinal microbiota
Abstract Supplementation with arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to extremely preterm infants reduces the risk of severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The main aim of this study was to explore the involvement of AA:DHA supplementation in the developing gut microbiome, and its possible contribution to the ROP-protective effect. Secondly, additional covariates for microbiome maturation were evaluated.

7 Reasons Men Tune Out The Women They Love, And Women Do The Same
How many times has your partner suddenly taken advice from someone else, advice you've been giving them for months, and acted like it's brand new? It's frustrating, confusing, and honestly a little hurtful. But it happens more often than most couples want to admit, and it doesn't necessarily mean your partner doesn't value you. Communication in relationships gets complicated the closer you are to someone.
Chose life
What comes to your mind when you hear the phrase, “chose life.” I think for most people of faith they think of the decision a mother and in some cases a father must make when they discover that they are expecting. Those of us that believe that the Bible is God’s word and our authority for believing what is true and behaving according to God’s will, also think of the value of the life of the unborn and how it should be protected.

Write It Down!
The need for pencil and paper has almost become extinct in our modern digital age, has it not? I have embraced it for the most part, because I still can make digital lists and once done a task, I can still put a digital line through it.
Certainty in Time of Uncertainty!
Someone once cynically quipped, “There are two certainties in life: death and taxes!” While we may chuckle at that sarcastic outlook on life, the scriptures do speak of all humanity’s divine appointment with physical death. The writer of Hebrews said it this way, “It is appointed for humans to die once and after that comes judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
The Cost of Christmas
How much are you going to spend on Christmas this year? Thanksgiving has come and gone, and the holiday shopping season is now upon us. According to a study performed by the Capitol One Shopping, Americans spent 984.3 billion during the Christmas 2024 season. This translated to roughly $1,638.00 for the average consumer.

What Godly Faith Does and What Godly Faith is not?
I have the privilege of teaching students at Alaska Bible College the mechanics of sermon preparation in our pastoral ministry training track. In a previous Faith page article I shared part one of a a message that Sean Ichinose gave recently in our Preaching I class at ABC. It answered the question of, “what is faith?” In contrast to the oxymoron of “blind faith,” a biblical definition from Hebrews 1:1-2 is trusting the evidence of the reality of things not yet realized.

What is Faith?
I have the privilege of teaching students at Alaska Bible College the mechanics of sermon preparation in our pastoral ministry track. As you know, ABC is committed to raising up the next generation of vocational Christian servants that will lead with Christlike character. I would like to share in this edition of the NorthWord, part one of a two-part message that Sean Ichinose gave recently in our Preaching I class at ABC: Jumbo Shrimp. It’s perhaps the most famous oxymoron out there.

Soli Deo Gloria
Have you ever experienced someone else getting the credit for something you did? How did that make you feel? Way back in my college days, a group of us college students were traveling back to the college one Wednesday evening after doing a music ministry in a church in a neighboring town. As we approached our college town there was a sharp curve. As we entered the curve, an on-coming van started to lose control swerving into our lane, just missing us head-on.

'Frogs and Fish Breath'
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods and two of them fell into a deep pit. All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all of their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.

Quiet erosion: How administrative power is hollowing out our constitutional rights
We the people imagine that liberty is protected by constitutional guarantees so fundamental they apply to all. We’re told that no person—citizen or not—can be detained without cause, interrogated without counsel, or punished without process. But from family court to immigration detention to the streets of Montana, that promise is eroding—not loudly or all at once, but slowly and administratively. Here in Montana, we’re watching this erosion in real time. In Martinez Marvan vs.
All You Need Is God’s Love
On February 7, 1964, a boy band from Britain came to America and stormed her stages. They brought with them a message of love. Who can forget one of their signature songs, “All You Need Is Love?” Like all counterfeit commodities, the Beatles’ message of love contains elements of truth. However, their definition of love that later became known as the sexual revolution sought many empty expressions in the back seats of ’56 Chevys in the 1960’s and conversion vans in the 1970’s.

Confusing Kindness
Recently, I have been noticing in many public spaces, signs and artistic notices that remind us of the need to be kind. It is rightly being taught in our schools and now even on office buildings and businesses. I have always been confused by the human tendency to want to be treated kindly or to use the biblical term “mercifully” and yet to struggle to be kind to others or treat them with mercy.

The Blessing of Believing
Unfortunately in our culture, the idea of “believing” or having “faith” lacks definition. For many having “faith” is some mystical sense of confidence that what is desired will come to pass if "my faith is strong enough." The biblical concept of faith is one of “trust” or “dependence.” Merely acknowledging that something is true is the first step (intellectual accent), but it must be followed by depending on that truth (volitional trust).

From Grappling to Grasping God!
I love the story of Jacob recorded for us in the book of beginnings, Genesis. He is quite the character! He started his self-promotion early on and he got named after it! You probably remember the story of his birth when he reached out during the birthing process and grabbed his brother Esau’s heal because he wanted to be born first. Isaac and Rebekah named him “Jacob” which in the Hebrew means literally “heal grabber” and figuratively “deceiver or cheater.” (Genesis 25).

Vancouver housing policy a Faustian bargain: Unaffordability increases
Advertisement 1 Vancouver residents in the 2022 municipal election were told to tolerate the downsides of rapid growth and densification so that affordable housing is achieved. But it is not working out that way Article content We are now far enough into the radical policy blueprint to reshape Vancouver’s residential landscape, mandated by the city and the province, to assess its costs and benefits based on evidence rather than aspiration.
Truly seeing and seeing truly
I have had problems with my eyes since I was about 18 months old! I had my first of six corrective eye surgeries way back then when the muscles in my left eye did not receive the right nerve signal from my brain. This caused my pupil to move into the corner of my eye socket near my nose. Yeah, like the lizards on the Animal Channel! Amblyopia or strabismus was my diagnosis—a condition where both eyes are not able to focus on the same object.

Crafting the narrative: wealth migration, growth machines and the politics of housing affordability in Vancouver, Canada
ABSTRACT In many gateway cities – cities tightly locked into global flows of capital and people – immigration has become the largest component of population growth, and thus a major determinant of housing markets. In Vancouver, the arrival of wealthy migrants, many holding golden visas, plus significant offshore property investment, has contributed to rapid house price inflation.
'His Story'
It was Spanish-American philosopher George Santayana (1863-1952) that is credited with saying, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” My wife and I just got back from traveling through Europe in celebration of God’s blessing us with 40 years together.

No More Tears
Twelve years ago our family became a “golden” family. No, we did not discover a pot of gold! We did, however, discover a pot of golden hair that comes along with having a golden retriever as a family dog. We named our first golden Ruthie. Six months later we brought Ruthie’s husband Boaz home! So we then had two pots of golden hair throughout our house. With goldens we have come to accept that golden hair is a condiment in our home.
In the Yoke
My wife and I grew up in southeastern Pennsylvania, so it was a very common for us to see the Amish community in that area live their very distinctive life. The quaint horse and buggies that are used for transportation is not something I tire of seeing. It amazes me that they can be so committed to a way of living that is so foreign for the rest of society.

When Things Do Not Go As Planned!
Have you had some things happen recently that did not go as planned? My wife and I had a visit-the-family trip planned in December that did not go as planned. Our adult children and extended family are spread out throughout the “lower 48.” We were excited to do a whirlwind visit starting in Philadelphia to visit my elderly folks and all my siblings. We then were planning to fly to Phoenix and visit my wife’s family in Tucson and our oldest daughter and family of four grands in Phoenix.

The Goodness of Gratitude
As Americans, we trace our tradition of Thanksgiving Day all the way back 1621 when the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast. The most detailed description of the "First Thanksgiving" comes from Edward Winslow from A Journal of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, in 1621: Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors.

God’s Sovereignty and Our Responsibility in Politics
As a pastor, I have often been asked, “what role do we as citizens of heaven have in national elections?” As a follower of Jesus, I rest in the biblical fact that God grants authority to all human rulers and is sovereign over who rules the nations. Though some might question this, the prophet Daniel and the Apostle Paul seem to place God sovereignly over those who gain authority over nations or people groups.

His Joy!
I recently asked the people in a class I was teaching at Alaska Bible College, “what brings you joy?” I prefaced it by saying, “I am not asking for a “biblical” response.” I was looking for the first ideas that came to mind that the students enjoyed. What comes to your mind when you think about, “what brings me joy?” The answers I received ranged from summiting a mountain and walking along the ridge to using a skill that fixed a problem well.
