Our young, thank God, are weary of woke and drugs and all the modern day, post-truth generation addictions and alternatives. Many turn to religion, so surveys say. Many of them, as many as 4 out of 5, may in their exploration of religion, explore and encounter the only real answer to life:OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.That man, the Nazarene, the Galilean, the carpenter, the son of the Living God, is ONE OF A KIND, a savior, redeemer, far more powerful than the strongest drug on earth. The young, the so-called Gen Z and Millennials will discover that if they really search with all their hearts.Christianity, real Christianity is not easy, not at all. It requires total commitment. There is nothing halfway or partial about becoming a real Christian. Real Christianity only occurs when one is truly BORN AGAIN.That means the recognition of SIN, something eschewed, mocked by present day society and thinking, but the requirement for biblical salvation, the recognition and confession of sin in a life and consequently, the status of the sinner in need of redemption. That is a testimony, a way of life, an explanation of real Christianity which the young in their spiritual searching must hear, and must hear clearly, directly, and without compromise or qualification. These are His words, not mine or yours:ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.That is what Gen Z needs to hear. If, says Jesus Christ, you wish to follow me, then I require that you:LAY YOUR ALL ON THE ALTAR.Not some, not something of you, nothing partial, but:ALLeverything you have and are. That is one hard message, difficult to understand in one sense, but more so, difficult to accept as a precondition of conversion and redemption. The younger generation will find out that becoming a real Chrisitan, A REAL CHRISTIAN, is not easy, not at all. They will hear more words from the master:TAKE UP MY CROSS, YOUR CROSS, AND FOLLOW ME.Be ready for the onslaughts of humankind. Be ready for a brand new, aggressive, angry, and attacking confrontation, and a brand new, aggressive:RIDICULEREJECTIONREFUSALA shunning in every way. And more. You should be ready to SELL ALL YOU HAVE if your faith journey so requires. That surely does not sound very appealing, but the willingness is a fundamental part of the conversion process.In fact, one should be ready to forsake all, to leave as Jesus said, father and mother, brother and sister, and follow me, never looking back. If that becomes necessary, if that is part of your calling, then comes the ultimate Christian challenge:YOU ARE EITHER WITH ME (THE CHRIST) OR AGAINST ME.There is no in between, no gray area, all or nothing. You can not serve two masters. If, says the Lord, you want me in your life, then it is:ALL OR NOTHING.All of this is the price, the very high price of discipleship, of partnership with Jesus Christ. These are not suggestions or options. These are commands, uncompromising commands. These are marching orders from the captain of our faith. These are hard requirements, non-negotiable, and require a whole heart and head understanding and commitment.If one is not willing to accept these spiritual terms and conditions, don't get involved. Keep looking. But know that you will never find anything better or even equal to this exciting, redeeming relationship with the Son of the Living God. Nothing comes close to such an encounter, nothing.Come to Him, young generation, but don't add anything to the spiritual contract. And don't subtract anything from the spiritual demands. This contract is a matter of all or nothing, your all or nothing. The Christ of glory wants no part of you, but only all of you. That is the message that Gen Z and millennials must hear. Those are Jesus' words and His uncompromising but lifesaving message. To accept is to enter into a relationship which will in fact produce peace, and joy, and life abundant like any could ever imagine. That new life is full of power, energy, confidence, and assurance, it is characterized by faith, and hope, and most importantly by:LOVE.It is exactly what the young seek and I do hope and pray as I am sure you do, that they will find it, and find:HIM.For no where in this world is there anyone or anything like HIM. Nothing and no one. That is what the world hungers for. That message is missing in so many places and in so many pulpits today, which is the main reason why RELIGION without HIM at the center can never satisfy, never.HE and only HE can change a life. I pray the young who seek will find:HIM.

Interview with Chris Frostad, President & CEO of Purepoint UraniumOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/purepoint-uranium-tsxvptu-isoenergy-partnership-unlocks-district-potential-in-athabasca-basin-6109Recording date: 21st February 2025Purepoint Uranium Group (TSXV:PTU) is employing a distinctive joint venture strategy to explore for uranium in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. The company has partnered with major industry players including Cameco, Orano, and IsoEnergy, allowing it to conduct extensive exploration while minimizing shareholder dilution.The company's flagship project, Hook Lake, where Purepoint maintains a 21% stake alongside Cameco and Orano, has seen over $15 million in exploration investment. The property is strategically located on trend with significant uranium discoveries, including NexGen's Arrow deposit and Fission's Triple R. The 2025 program at Hook Lake will focus on the Patterson Corridor and newly identified conductor trends that may host a second major deposit.Purepoint's joint venture model offers unique financial advantages. For every million dollars spent on exploration at Hook Lake, Purepoint contributes $210,000 but receives back $100,000 in management fees for operating the project. This structure allows the company to conduct exploration at the scale of a much larger organization while maintaining financial efficiency.A recent development is Purepoint's joint venture with IsoEnergy, covering a 98,000-hectare land package in the Athabasca Basin. The flagship Dorado project, which extends along the trend of IsoEnergy's Hurricane deposit, has secured a $5 million exploration budget for 2025.CEO Chris Frostad maintains a bullish outlook on uranium markets, despite recent price volatility. While spot prices experienced a speculative surge to over $100/lb in 2023 before correcting, Frostad believes the market is only "halfway through this bull market," noting that the industry has been operating with a supply deficit for six years.The long-term fundamentals for uranium appear strong, with global demand exceeding primary mine supply for nearly a decade. Current mine supply covers only about 80% of reactor requirements, with the gap being filled by secondary supplies and inventories. This deficit is expected to become more acute as secondary supplies diminish and utility demand increases with the growth of nuclear power globally.Looking ahead, Purepoint is positioned to capitalize on rising uranium prices through its portfolio of exploration projects. The company's joint venture approach provides multiple opportunities for discovery while maintaining financial discipline. With several drill programs planned for 2025 and strong partnerships in place, Purepoint offers investors exposure to uranium exploration in one of the world's premier mining jurisdictions.View Purepoint Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/purepoint-uranium-group-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
