POWER TO BECOME CHILDREN by Eric Landry  for Core Christianity One of the great marketing tropes of Christmas is a play on nostalgia: the return to childhood.

The little girls making tamales in the kitchen are transformed into lifelong friends who keep the holiday together. The power of childhood is a major motivating factor of Christmas. We spend…

8 Reasons Why the Church Lost the Culture Wars in North America by JOSEPH MATTERA for Charisma News It is evident that the Bible-confessing church has been losing cultural influence over the past several decades. At the turn of the 20th century, Judeo-Christian values were promoted in this nation. By the 1950s, they were celebrated. By the ’70s and ’80s, they were tolerated, and by the late 2000s, they were hated in popular secular culture. While there are many reasons for this, I will talk about only a few reasons…

Michelle Malkin: Some Church Lives Matter More Than Others for CNS News Here is a textbook illustration of how the corporate media’s sins of omission can be far more damning than the corrupted industry’s sins of commission. Over the weekend, thousands of patriotic citizens descended on Washington, D.C., to protest election fraud and defend President Donald Trump. Left-wing “black bloc” mobs threw water bottles, bricks, and fireworks at cops and Trump supporters. Eight law enforcement personnel were injured by Antifa and Black Lives Matter anarchists; one officer received multiple severe…

AN EMPTY-HANDED CHRISTMAS by Elizabeth Garn for Core Christianity The day after Thanksgiving is a pretty big day for me; it’s the day I start getting ready for Christmas dinner. It takes me a full month because, as I’m sure you can imagine, there is a lot to do! There are Christmas trees to be trimmed, mantles to be decorated, and candles to be lit. There is food to be planned, gifts to be wrapped, and centerpieces to be arranged. And then, of course, there is the cleaning… So much…

Spirit-Filled Preacher Says You Can Find Purpose in Your Pain by LARRY TOMCZAK for Charisma News Ken Roberts has packed a lifetime of lessons into his 64 years as a man of God. When his father, who was a pastor for 60 years, died not long ago at 89, he called me to tell me he was his hero. We grieved together, and Roberts shared more lessons with me as his friend. We’ve been covenant brothers and ministry yokefellows for almost 40 years. When his wife of 25 years was…

Who is Jesus Christ? from Compelling Truth Other than the most hardened skeptics, everyone agrees that Jesus Christ actually existed and walked the earth some 2000 years ago. Many believe He was a prophet, a good man, and also a great moral teacher. But, in the Bible we discover that Jesus Christ was far more than a good man, prophet, or teacher. What C.S. Lewis pointed out in his book Mere Christianity, a lot of people still say today, “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I…

WILL I EVER OBEY GOD LIKE I WANT TO? by Adriel Sanchez for Core Christianity I’m writing to the Christian who feels depressed because they repeatedly fail to obey God’s law. It’s not that you want to disobey, but instead you say with Paul, “I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate” (Rom. 7:15). You love God but you don’t love him perfectly. In fact, sometimes you even question if your love is sincere. “If I really loved God, would I have responded like that!?” You…
