Today is momentous because today marijuana is now legal in all ten provinces and three territories.  The Great White North is covered in a green haze, and that green haze smells sweet and skunky. Marijuana’s decriminalization, in this case, has at least two immediate consequences.  First, legalizing it inescapably destigmatizes it.  The second consequence is related.  Legalizing it gives people one less reason to notRead more

A great deal has now been written about Bruxy Cavey and his theology.  From my perspective, this has been going on for a while.  But for those who are just recently tuning in, I’ve provided a timeline of events.  To better help understand things, I’ve broken things down into 5 phases, with the first phase beginning in February, 2017, and with the fifth phase stillRead more

The Gospel Coalition Canada, under the leadership of Pastor Paul Carter, just completed a trilogy of interviews with Bruxy Cavey.  The purpose was to gain a clearer understanding of Cavey’s teachings, a body of teachings which I call “Bruxyianity.”  My purpose in writing this is to discuss Part II yet again.  Having already corrected one thing Cavey said in Part II here, I now wantRead more

Below is the podcast audio as well as theRead more

At The Gospel Coalition Canada, Pastor Paul Carter has started a series of interviews to determine what Bruxy Cavey actually believes, in Cavey’s own words.  I have spoken and written extensively on Bruxy Cavey already, so I was intrigued when I learned about this initiative.  Having read the first interview just under a week ago and already having read and listened to a number ofRead more

When it comes to dealing with liberals, there are two books that I have burned into my mind.  These two books had such an influence upon me that I continue to reflect upon their content after having read both over a decade ago.  The first book is What is an Evangelical? by Martin Lloyd-Jones.  It was a Christmas gift from my mother and father-in-law in 2002. Read more

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 down the preaching, don’t talk about offensive things, and you’llRead more
