A Real Example at Christmas By KATHRYN JEAN LOPEZ for The Stream Getting to know people who are persecuted for their religious faith is life-changing. To meet people whose everyday life involves the real possibility that they might be kidnapped, tortured or killed simply because they are Christian, Yazidi or Uyghur Muslim gives you a whole new perspective.

Paul calls this the law of sin and characterizes us as wretched because of it.[1] This is true in spite of outward appearances.[2] Paul tells us: “I…

Putting the Urgency of the Hour in Historical Perspective By MICHAEL BROWN for The Stream In 1944, Rev. Peter Marshall declared, “Surely the time has come, because the hour is late, when we must decide. And the choice before us is plain — Yahweh or Baal. Christ or chaos. Conviction or compromise. Discipline or disintegration.” That was 1944, 9 years before the first edition of Playboy. Compare that to the epidemic of internet porn today, affecting even our children. Marshall never could have imagined America falling this low. 1944 was…

What Is Heaven Like? by Pat Robertson for CBN News Heaven is where God is. He is the light of heaven, the joy of heaven. As you mature in your understanding of the Bible, you realize there is no material concept of heaven that will do it justice. The Bible talks about streets of gold as clear as crystal and walls made out of precious stones (see Revelation 21:18-21). All sorts of images immediately come to mind when we mention heaven. More than anything else, heaven is a spiritual condition where one spiritual being is…

The Humility of Christmas By JERRY NEWCOMBE for The Stream Winston Churchill was a man of great wit. Much of that wit came in the form of insulting barbs. It was once reported, “When Winston Churchill was told that Clement Attlee [former British prime minister] is a modest man, he said: ‘No doubt he is.
