Why I Said Trump Could Lose—And Why I Believe It Happened by Shane Idleman While many sincere believers were confident that Trump would be inaugurated, others were prophetically sounding the alarm. As I said in my article, Donald Trump Could Lose in 2020, “Our gun safes are full, but our prayer closets are empty.

Had Donald Trump been elected, the…

GUPTA for Christianity Today His moments of doubt and temptation attest that we can follow him through our own. n many children’s Bibles, the Son of God swoops in like Superman to save the day.

Without our interaction with the Holy Spirit, we cannot draw its fruit (see Galatians 5:22-23).

We draw grace from God by humility towards Him. This type of humility is something that is prior to our…

5 VERSES TO HELP US PRAY by Kendra Dahl for Core Christianity When my family moved across the country almost four years ago, those first few months were intensely lonely. I missed the comfort of coffee dates with old friends, the familiarity of my church family, and easy weekend trips to my parents’ house. I missed shared history—feeling known and understood, seen and heard. Thankfully, I can say that God has provided family among his people here—the beginnings of a new shared history. But as I reflect back on those…

How to Avoid the Spiritual Growth “Trap” By Ray Hollenbach for Church Leaders The best lies always use a bit of the truth. That’s certainly true of spiritual growth. After we understand the importance of responding to God’s grace, we are tempted to believe the lie that God has done everything he’s going to do. “The rest is up to me,” we think. “I must meditate, pray, serve, study, contemplate, isolate, and even celebrate on my own.
