When you`ve had a stroke you have a lot of time to sit back and think. Being back in New Brunswick I had a chance to go back to my old stomping grounds and I realized that my preaching has been ineffective. People still love the world more than they love Jesus. The so-called Great [...]

Who do we listen to if we don’t listen to Jesus? Jesus preached Leviticus 26 – horrible curses – “and you will flee when no one is pursuing you.”
A world of anxiety, a world of loss and need, when there isn’t enough bread.
Knowing this, the Russian martyrs said to their murderers, “Kill us now, but [...]

After dressing plain and defending the Anabaptist ethos in and to the Anglican church here in Canada, after many debates and answering questions like “why do you wear that black hat?” and “Are [...]

One thing that I find interesting about modern man is our insistence on always being right. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence we tend to only believe what we want to.

is such a nice word. It conjures up images in the mind of luxury hotels and hanging out by the pool and catching a few rays. It rings quite loudly of the Christian virtue of hospitality, of being made to feel at home… to feel comfortable and well fed. It’s a warm, fuzzy kind of [...]
