Strang, an accomplished journalist and the founder of Charisma Media, has just released his new book, God and Cancel Culture: Stand Strong Before It’s Too Late. Filled with important and timely revelations for all believers of Jesus Christ, the book also poses intriguing questions: Where is God in the divisive and dangerous “cancel culture” that we’re seeing play out across our nation today (and experiencing firsthand, in many cases)?

Mike Bickle Answers the One Question Everyone Has About Prayer from CHARISMA NEWS We all have the same question: Why does God take so long to answer my prayers? Mike Bickle, founder of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Missouri, says he doesn’t have an easy response to this common concern, but he does know one thing: God cares about the relationship more than the request. “The Lord is more interested in the conversation with us than He is in some of the things that we actually do,” Bickle…

In what way is kindness a fruit of the Holy Spirit? from Compelling Truth We are not naturally inclined to feel kindness to one another. The world teaches us to “look out for number one”—to dismiss others and concern ourselves instead with our own needs. To feel a beneficial, tender concern inspired by a good character is not our natural tendency. Yet the Bible exhorts us to be kind (Colossians 3:12; 2 Corinthians 6:4-6).
