‘Truly Weird’: Actor Tim Allen’s ‘Santa Clauses’ Line About ‘Saying Merry Christmas’ Sparks Internet Furor By Billy Hallowell for Faith Wire A quick line in actor Tim Allen’s new Disney+ series “The Santa Clauses” is reportedly drawing the ire of some internet critics. The 69-year-old star, reprising his role as Scott Calvin in the new series after previously starring in three “The Santa Clause” films from 1994 through 2006, is no stranger to debate. He’s an outspoken conservative and has had no problem sharing his views over the years. As evidence:…

The Church’s Role in Preserving Freedom of Speech in America by Eddie Hyatt for Charisma News The controversy surrounding Kyrie Irving and his post of a tweet that claims the Jews in Israel are not the real Jews—that Black Africans are the real Jews—raises serious questions about free speech in America and has ramifications for every Bible-believing Christian. I am unapologetically pro-Israel. In fact, those on the political left would consider me a Zionist because I believe that the establishment of the Jewish state in 1948 was an act of God,…

Thankful for Faith by Lori Wilkerson Stewart for CBN News Our first Thanksgiving in Virginia felt odd. For the first 18 years of our marriage, we’d always celebrated the holiday with my husband’s extended family—30-40 people—in California. Now, since leaving the Golden State so I could attend Regent University, Thanksgiving only included our family of five. Over the years, my contribution to the yearly feast was to bring the sweet potato casserole (the kind with the crunchy brown sugar/pecan topping—YUM!). Now the whole meal was up to me. Unfortunately, I’d never…

What is God’s view of pleasure? Is He opposed to pleasure? from Compelling Truth Some people view God’s commands in Scripture as a way of life that opposes pleasure. However, God created all people and provides the ability to enjoy life and its pleasures. He is not opposed to pleasure; He is opposed to sinning to experience pleasure. For example, God has created a wide variety of food for human enjoyment. Yet if a person eats too much unhealthy food, this desire for pleasure from eating food can have negative…

Family Isn’t Fake by John Stonestreet and Maria Baer via Christian Headlines In Act 2, Scene 2 of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the young couple mourns that their respective families are sworn enemies. Juliet doesn’t think it’s fair. “What’s in a name?” she asks. “That which we call a rose, by any other word would smell as sweet.” In other words, Romeo’s surname, “Montague” is only a word. No matter what we call it, the long-stemmed flower with the thorns and petals will still be itself. Shakespeare’s analogy only works…

5 Things that Hinder the Presence of Christ by Shane Idleman Most believers understand that God is everywhere, but the Bible is also clear that the power and presence of Christ can fill the heart of the believer who completely surrenders to Him. His presence changes everything! So it’s no secret why the enemy of our soul wants to hinder His presence and power in our life. Here are five things that will hinder the presence of Christ in your life and what you can do to get back on…

An Encounter with God is More Powerful than TikTok By MICHAEL BROWN for Ask Dr Brown The influence of TikTok on America’s young people has become so pervasive that this past February I asked, “Is China Using TikTok to Control the Minds of Our Children?” As outrageous as that question may sound to some, I only raised it because others had already drawn attention to the disparity between TikTok in China and TikTok in America. In fact, one day before I wrote this current article, speaking on Fox News Channel’s America’s…

CeCe Winans Shares 3 Reasons You Need to Attend a Local Church by Shelby Bowen for Charisma News GNN Note – While church is an important part of the Christian experience and Christian life, the church must be a good fit for each of us. If the church you’ve attend for some time has changed and no longer fits, it’s okay to find another church home. If you are searching for a church and find one “that might fit”, give it 3 weeks. Also, it’s okay to walk out of a…

Our Broken Culture Needs the Hope Found in the Gospel, Not Politics by Jim Denison via Christian Headlines Former President Donald Trump launched his third bid for the White House last night. He spoke to an invited crowd from the ballroom of his Mar-a-Lago private club in Florida, where he declared, “America’s comeback starts right now.” As you know, Republicans are divided over whether Mr. Trump should be their nominee again in 2024. Some are celebrating his announcement and believe that he is the only candidate who can “make America great…
