The Pastor's Blog

I’ve made some very strong statements about Bruxy Cavey.  He might be Canada’s most recognizable church leader, and he pastors one of Canada’s largest churches.  He is in the middle of what I believe is the most significant theological controversy Canadian Evangelicals have faced in 70 years—probably the most significant theological controversy since the modernist/fundamentalist controversy.

Evangelicals in the Province of Ontario are in the middle of what I believe is the most important theological controversy we’ve faced in 70 years—at least since the fundamentalist/modernist controversy.  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 Gospel but has openly stated that he’d like to convertRead more

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 Trinity Bible Chapel in Cambridge Ontario. It was good toRead more

King Alfred the Great is the only English king ever to have had the name, “Great.”  He lived and reigned during the second half of the 9th c., and he rose to greatness in what is likely the darkest hour of English history.  His royal family had fallen to a palace coup, the British Isles were under constant Viking siege, and his own people turned on him early in his reign.  Amidst the hardship, King Alfred rose to become an English king whose vision for his island nation still bears fruit among the world’s most prosperous and free nations even today.  Below, I offer some reasons why he’s considered “Great.”

On Friday, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled 7-2 that law societies in British Columbia and Ontario have the right to refuse accreditation to Trinity Western University’s law school because of the school’s community covenant.  

The school’s community covenant restricts sexual activity to married people, and it upholds marriage as a heterosexual union.  Trinity Western University is a privately funded institution that educates students from broad-based evangelical presuppositions.

Over the last few months we’ve learned that there will be a reckoning for sexual sin. Bill Cosby, once a respected role-model, is now a convicted sex offender. He was convicted for sex crimes of decades past, and decades ago it likely looked as if he’d get away with it. Harvey Weinstein, once a larger-than-life film producer, is now charged with rape. Months ago allegationsRead more

Canada’s state broadcaster, CBC, released a disgraceful video a few days ago.  In it a media personality, surrounded by a group of very young children, celebrates gay pride.  She venerates gay “heroes” to the kids, prompts the kids to jubilation over gay pride, cues them to extol so-called gay marriage, and overtly suggests that it’s a virtuous thing to question one’s sexuality because she didRead more
