Prophetic Word: The Lord Says, ‘Greater Things Shall You Do’ by BETTY KING for Charisma News The Lord showed me something unique, about the authority of the believer in this season and the preparation that comes for that authority to be effective. “Moses decreed to us a law, the inheritance of the assembly of Jacob. He was king over Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together. Let Reuben live, and not die and let not his men be few” (Deut. 33:4-6). Here,…

What should I do if I’m questioning my salvation? from Compelling Truth Having doubts about or questioning one’s salvation is a common experience. While Paul charged the Christians in Philippi to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,” he finished that sentence saying, “for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:12–13). The father who brought his afflicted son to Jesus for healing cried, “help my unbelief” (Mark 9:24). In figuring out our salvation and exploring these…

A TIME WHEN CHRISTIAN BAPTISM UNDERMINED RACISM by Mika Edmondson for Core Christianity As part of his daily prayers, a typical first-century Jewish man began by thanking God for not making him a Gentile, a slave—and finally—for not making him a woman. In a fallen world, we are socially conditioned by messages about who’s important and who’s not, who’s precious and who’s expendable, who should be in and who should be out. Race, class, and gender are the fault lines of sinful disparity and division that pass from the world…

Therefore, I must thank: Lord Jesus Christ, Townhall editors and management, loyal readers –  including those who send me inspiring personal Gmails, and husband David for his thoughtful edits. Over the last year, readers have asked, “Where is Vol. 1?” The topic was Melchizedek, but not headlined “Vol. 1” when posted on RedState in Sept. 2019. Then, last year, when the first study was transferred to Townhall and chronologically…

Why does Isaiah 53:3 refer to the Messiah as a man of sorrows? from Compelling Truth Depending on which translation of the Bible you read, in Isaiah 53:3 you will see the Messiah, Jesus, referred to as a man of “sorrows,” “suffering,” or sometimes, “pain.” Isaiah 53:3 falls within a much larger passage, the fourth of the Servant Songs, which is frequently called the “Song of the Suffering Servant.” It repeatedly mentions the many sufferings the Messiah had to endure. This song is found in Isaiah 52:13—53:12 [emphasis added]: “Behold, my servant shall act wisely; he…

6 CHARACTERISTICS OF PASTORS YOU NEED TO AVOID by Adriel Sanchez for Core Christianity Not everyone who identifies themselves as a pastor, or religious teacher, should be listened to. Peter warned the believers in his day, “But false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies…” (2 Pet. 2:1) The church today needs pastors who will faithfully represent Jesus in their preaching and lifestyles. If you sit under this type of ministry, give thanks to God. If…

How to Abide in the Lord and Enjoy His Presence Every Day by MICHAEL LOMBARDO for Charisma News Dwelling in first-love passion is not a novel concept. In fact, it can be reality for us as believers. Instead of contending for this reality, many of us believe the lie that being “in love with Jesus” is merely a honeymoon phase in our lives, and over time we become more calm, cool and collected about our relationship with Him. This is a debilitating lie that, if believed, can inflict much harm…

D. for Life Site News When the parents of a preborn child schedule an abortion, in effect, their baby has become abandoned.

Are You a Fool According to the Bible? by Michael L. Brown for Ask Dr Brown As defined by the Scriptures, a fool is not someone who is uneducated or a person with a low IQ. Rather, a fool is someone who is deeply deficient spiritually and morally. As summed up in Proverbs 1:7, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Are you a fool according to the Bible? Am I? Let’s look at just a few of the characteristics of the…
