Fundamentalist Pharisees

Mark 8:15  “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees.”
As I read the Gospel records of the life and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am often struck by the way our Lord responded to the questions and teachings of the Pharisees.  I find them one of the most striking groups in the [...]

Two by Two

Over the past seven months our family has been blessed to have the Paul and Loretta Hitz family here in Rankin Inlet assisting us in our ministry.  They have been a great help to us here, and we have endeavoured to mentor them in preparation for their future ministry in the Eastern Canadian Arctic community [...]

Christmas-Time Hate

I hate Santa Claus.
There, I said it.  I’m not sure I have ever brought myself to say it quite like that before.  It feels good to get that off my chest.  It’s not something one is supposed to say, or even think.  Maybe some would think I’m some kind of radical, nut-job wacko for saying [...]

It is TIME!

There is not much in the village of Epworth.  There are plenty of old buildings.  There are quaint little shops for those who like such things.  There is a nice little tea room where you can get a light lunch that will not be forgotten.  But most people remember this little English village for more [...]

Proud to be Canadian

This is not my usual type of post, but I wanted to draw attention to this link and this one.  It makes me proud to be Canadian. It is about time that someone in this country stood up for what is right, and I am thankful that we seem to have some men with backbone in [...]

Faith, or False Fire

Recently a young Christian asked me about a certain song that he enjoyed. He asked if it was appropriate to include in a church service. I was unfamiliar with the song and decided to do a search online to see whether it was something that could be helpful. I found a video [...]

The Gap is Widening

Ezekiel 13:5  Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
Ezekiel 22:30  And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the [...]
