“A theologian in service of the Church”

Central Baptist Seminary (CBS) in Toronto, where I began my academic career as a church historian, experienced a deep financial crisis between 1989 and 1991. A three-man management team was put in place to lead the school instead of a president. One of the three men serving on this management team was Roy Lawson, in every way a larger-than-life figure in the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada. And to be honest, he frightened me! But not my academic colleague, Stanley K. Fowler. In fact, once when Roy was complaining about hyper-Calvinists within our Fellowship (Calvinism was a controversial...

From Pandemic to President – Standing Firm in God’s Peace

Yanick Ethier

In 2020, an unknown virus, COVID-19, gripped the world with anxiety. We remember it as if it were yesterday. Governments were overwhelmed, experts were sounding the alarm, and hearts were filled with uncertainty. Now, in 2025, a new wave of fear is sweeping through. This time, the virus isn’t biological, but political. Its name … you may already guess it. Some see it as a threat, others as a solution. January 20th was the inauguration of the new President of the United States. The recently elected American president, Donald Trump, leaves no one indifferent, least of all his northern neighbours....

The Advent of Expectancy

Clint Humfrey

Carey’s slogan was simple: Expect great things. Attempt great things. His optimism was not merely self-help or the power of positive thinking. He knew that to “enlarge the tent, lengthen the chord and strengthen the stake” (cf. Isa 54:2) was to have an optimistic expectancy.

Christmas From Nowhere

George Sinclair

Last week I was in a downtown coffee shop. As I was leaving, I overheard a street person saying to someone in the store, with a very serious voice, “When I was starting Google…..” We smile. I am pretty sure that if the true founders of Google were in the store and overheard the man, they would not get mad or upset. They would think it was funny. I was in a different coffee shop today, chatting with someone who has been quite successful in business. Not Google successful, but by small business Ottawa standards, very successful. He is not...
