We who are opposed to MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying”) should stop using that acronym. Why? Find out in this article by Pastor George Sinclair

“The cross, the empty tomb, and the resurrection makes no sense without the incarnation and the nativity of Jesus.”

There is a hunger in many Canadian Christians for practices which are truly old. So, why don’t you consider using a cycle of Bible reading and prayers for Advent which is both truly ancient and also reformed by the gospel?

How do we as Christians think, speak, pray and act on the anniversary of October 7, and in light of what Oct. 7 has unleashed?

Creation or evolution? The only real alternative to a naturalistic account of the universe is found in the Christian scriptures and faith.

What does it mean to honour my dad this father’s day? How can I honour my father if he was a bad dad?

The average Canadian does not know the Bible very well, but they do know what "everyone knows," that the Bible is full of contradictions.

Both the Old and New Testament refer to the fear of God, or its synonym, the fear of the Lord, as being a good thing, something the wise desire and fools do not.

Louise and I have three dogs. When people say to me, “You must really love dogs.” I always correct them and say, “I love my wife. My wife loves dogs. So we have dogs.”

One thing that seems to unite the Christian and the average Canadian is having firm opinions about Christmas trees. In particular, whether you should have a real tree or a fake tree.

I think there are several reasons why many Christians have started celebrating Advent. One is that Christians want to make a clearer distinction between Biblical/Christian Christmas and Canadian Christmas.

I am not saying that every church polity ever developed is biblical, only that there are several "traditions" or "streams" of church polity that can reasonably be said to be biblical. I think Anglican church polity is biblical.

If you are at all like me, you know that you never did this perfectly. I have sobering news for you - you will never repent and believe perfectly.

I am going to tell you a very, very, scary Jesus story. It is one of the scariest stories about Him.

No question is perfect. Because of the world, the flesh, and the devil, your heart can be very creative in crossing over from being convicted by God’s word to convicting God's word.

So when you study the Bible, you need to read the text carefully, understanding the words, the genre, the context, and the flow of the text.

It turns out that there are a lot of people who think this, and it has been one of those things that have gone on without it really penetrating my attention.
