Jesus’s Greatest Hits by Myra Kahn Adams for Town Hall Due to the “clickbait” headline, some readers might accuse me of denigrating Jesus by equating Our Risen Lord to a rock star. Well… He is a rock star! Jesus rose from the rock tomb and stars forever on earth and in heaven. For the earth part, I recommend reading “What If Jesus Had Never Been Born?” for an in-depth understanding of the miraculous impact Jesus had (has) on humankind. Moreover, the headline ties into this Bible study’s mission to attract readers unfamiliar with…

SENSUALITY VS. SPIRITUALITY: WHEN DESIRES BLOCK THE WAY TO CHRIST by Alex McFarland Larry Flynt is a pornographer. Not satisfied with the so-called soft porn of Playboy magazine, Flynt made sure his Hustler was the hardest of the hard-core porn magazines. He delighted in offending religious sensibilities.

He converted to Christianity and claimed to have had a born-again experience while flying with Stapleton in his business jet. Yet he continued to publish Hustler, albeit a slightly toned-down version. (Emphasis…

What the Holy Spirit Told Me That Relieved Me of All Fear by KATHERINE RUONALA for Charisma News I remember once being in a prayer meeting when I was on the floor worshipping and praying, looking at the Lord with expectation, quite stressed about a few things that had happened that week. Sometimes people have a tendency to go with the flow of a church service, not really thinking about what they are doing. They are worshipping without engaging, enjoying the atmosphere but not much more. That’s not what I…

Does Romans 2:7 teach works salvation? from Compelling Truth Romans 2:6–8 says: “He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.” At first glance, this passage may seem to imply that we are saved by our own good works.

AN INVITATION TO REST IN OUR PURPOSE by Elizabeth Garn for Core Christianity Life can be busy. There are days when I find myself running from one thing to another, trying desperately to cross anything off my already-too-long to do list. On one hand, that’s ok. We do have responsibilities that require our attention, and there will be things we need to accomplish to care for ourselves and the people around us. On the other hand, however, it’s important to remember that doing more is not why we’re here. I…
