Alberta pastors who wish to petition @jkenney to intervene in the case of arrested Pastor James Coates can sign this form to be sent to the Premier's office.

Premier, please do not let this terrifying precedent continue.

A pastor replied: “I found what you [both] said wise and humble. I also thought the discussion among the men was all done in a good spirit—differing points of view shared charitably. I was helped and encouraged!”

-It’s possible to talk about it like Christians not politicians!

Yesterday we had our @TGCPrairies Discussion of differing views Re: compliance or disobedience to Government health orders. The pastors differed in their priorities and applications of texts on one level, but they had common pastoral issues which were handled similarly,

We have made a simple, short guide that explains relevant information for Canadian churches as well as links to official guidelines in each Province.

As provincial governments move to permit churches to re-gather, pastors are facing a rapidly changing set of challenges as they decide what to do next.
Pastors, you're invited to join us on Zoom to discuss plans for regathering our churches again:

These are a few suggestions for trimming the financial fat as we prepare for what looks like a break in our comfort and stability that we have known up to this point.

So many Christians are growing in quarantine. Others are withering. The withering don’t know it because they’re trying to be watered by the alkaline flood of the world rather than the irrigation of the Spirit. Post- quarantine will reveal an astonishing contrast.

[Terry Stauffer @TerryJStauffer]

Small group on Zoom again tonight. Our church is doing more online each week. We’re going to try our pre-service prayer on Zoom on Sunday. We’ll be very happy to be together again, but this tech helps.

How can we celebrate Holy Week when we cannot even meet in person? To try to answer this question, three Canadian pastors will discuss celebrating Holy Week in a COVID-19 world.

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45 ESV)

[S. Peterson @SPeterson19]

God is sovereign over time & over process, the movement from formlessness to order. By implication, he can bring order to our lives.

[Jeff Jones @jeffj0nes]

This blew us away--we can't have people over for Liana's birthday party, so @GraceCochraneAB brought the (drive-by!) party to us! A huge thank you to you all!

3 ways we can love our neighbour:

1. Follow the health measures put in place to slow the spread of the virus.
2. Keep an eye out for those hit hard by the loss of income or childcare.
3. Reach out to people through phone calls, texts and social media.

Coming soon (out at T4G): the biblical sexuality trilogy.

Books are 30,000 words for lay readers.

Gavin & I pray churches, small groups, college groups, youth groups, and more will use them.

“But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God...”
Hebrews 10:12

This verse (among many others) takes down the faulty thinking around transubstantiation.

[Matt Martens @MateoPelon]

Heard at the Prairie chapter of the Gospel Coalition gathering in Calgary today:

If people want to know what we think, we should be given a topic. But people want to hear what God thinks, that’s why we’re given a text.
