I remember the seeker-sensitive movement. In the 1990’s evangelical churches began toning down their preaching in a pragmatic attempt to woo so-called seekers into their churches. By leaving out the less culturally acceptable stuff from their sermons, they thought they’d become more culturally relevant. Throw out the cherished and beneficial traditions of the church, water

Bruxy Cavey is at the center of what I believe is the most significant theological controversy Canadian Evangelicals have faced in almost 70 years. It is likely the most important controversy since the fundamentalist/modernist controversy. Once again, a generation must decide where it stands on some foundational issues, namely (1) the atonement, (2) Scripture, and

As I learned at the rink growing up, you don’t get to pick your spots. Sometimes you just end up being bashed against the boards in the corner while chasing the puck, even if you’d rather be the finesse guy gracefully twirling around the defencemen to deke out the goalie for the game winner in overtime.

Bruxy Cavey pastors one of Canada’s largest churches, has a broad following, claims to be a conservative Christian, and yet has not only denied the

Since the days of Pierre Trudeau, Dominion Day has been Canada Day, and Canada has become increasingly and intentionally multicultural. I somehow link the change from Dominion Day to Canada Day with the move towards multiculturalism, a concept of which I am not particularly fond. Just saying that is enough to provoke the ire of not a few well intentioned Christians, not to mention the scorn of the Laurentian consensus. And because of that, I offer what I consider to be some major problems with Canada’s multicultural vision, a vision for which our nation must repent.
I was recently interviewed by the guys over at the Rebel Alliance Media Podcast to discuss the teachings of Bruxy Cavey. Below is the podcast audio as well as the show notes from this episode of their podcast: Podcast: Interview begins at the 16:35 mark. Show Notes: Today we are joined by Pastor Jacob Reaume from
