The Pastor's Blog

On Thursday, December 6, 2018, our church was invited by the City of Kitchener to sing, perform, and share the Christmas message on the main event stage at the Christkindl Market festival in front of City Hall. This was our second year in a row taking part in this annual Christmas event. The event organizers gave us great feedback about our involvement in the eventRead more

I close with what disquiets me most.  It is much more than a concern over theological phraseology and doctrinal precision, as much as I’m burdened about all that.  What disquiets me most is a great source of personal grief, and that personal grief is pastoral grief specifically.  I am disheartened by the dearth of an urgent expression of pastoral alarm for those who’ve been taken captive by Bruxyianity.  There are people who actually believe what Bruxy Cavey says about the Bible, about the atonement, and about all the other nonsense he teaches.

I put a sledgehammer through my basement wall.  Then I pounded a pry-bar through the studs and clawed the nails out.  It was all to gut my basement last winter.  I was re-doing a section of the basement myself.  I saved some money by not hiring someone, and the end-product was a room much more pleasant than what was there initially.  The sledge hammer andRead more

Now being part way through a sermon series on Christ’s Sermon on the Mount, I found myself in Matthew 5:31-32 a few Sundays ago.  In that text our Lord teaches on divorce and remarriage.  I taught that our Lord allows for divorce under only exceptional circumstances upon which I elaborated, but even so divorce is never good.  It is like amputating a leg: sometimes it’sRead more

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

What’s going on over at The Gospel Coalition Canada is quite interesting.  They’ve embarked, under the leadership of Pastor Paul Carter, on a quest to learn what Bruxy Cavey thinks about some very important things in his own words as they say.  So far, there have been two interviews, and we are told we can anticipate one more.  The first interview dealt with the view ofRead more
