THE COMFORT OF HUMILITY by Laurel Goodwin for Core Christianity In 2014, I joined the Navy. Fresh out of college and a six-month overseas volunteer opportunity, I’d decided that an office job just wasn’t for me. There were bigger, better things out there and I intended to find them. With that in mind, I confidently walked into a recruiter’s office and went on to ace the ASVAB, enlist for a special program, pass my aviation physical with ease, breeze through bootcamp, and arrive for my training in Pensacola, Florida, riding…

Rep. Steube: To Claim a Different Gender is to Reject ‘God’s Good Design,’ Male and Female He Made Them By Emma Riley for CNS News GNN Note – The people that voted for and support the idea of “transgrenderism” have a real problem.

The spiritual gift of teaching – What is it? from Compelling Truth The spiritual gift of teaching is mentioned in Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12, and is listed as an office of teacher or pastor-teacher in Ephesians 4. Because the truth of God’s Word is of great importance to spiritual growth, the gift of teaching holds important value. Those with the gift of teaching have a special ability to communicate God’s principles to others in effective ways. The Greek word translated “teach” is didaskalos, which means to “instruct.” Just as Jesus taught both His…

HOW CAN WE FIGHT SEXUAL SIN? by William Boekestein for Core Christianity Of all out-of-style words, chastity might be the most laughable today. The best way to be uninvited from anyone’s party is to be known for chastity. But chastity is a powerful principle that can help God’s children flee the host of sexual sins that entice us. Chastity is shorthand for sexual appropriateness, or purity (see 2 Cor. 11:2 KJV). And God demands chastity “in heart, speech, and behavior” (Westminster Shorter Catechism (WSC) 71). Jesus offered this commentary on the…

Joseph Mattera: God, Politics and the Kingdom of God by JOSEPH MATTERA for Charisma News Whether Christian or non-Christian, any group that has an unbalanced concentration of power (e.g. the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11, or certain points of corruption in Western European history that compromised the Roman Catholic church, such as the Inquisition) will eventually be decentralized by God so that proper checks and balances can prosper both the civil liberties of people and the aforementioned jurisdictions. As far as I am concerned, the key verse in the…

We want God, not the Equality Act By John Horvat II for Life Site News The core of the Equality Act is found in this rejection of God’s will. The debate over the Equality Act is much more than a discussion on “discrimination” or “rights.” If enacted, it will mark the nation’s formal and symbolic break with the will of God. Such a conclusion comes from an inadvertent remark during the Congressional debate over the nefarious bill. This religious aspect of the proposed legislation trumps all others. Many rightly oppose…
