What I’m Learning About God While Working At A Gas Station By Daniel Seabaugh for Servants of Grace When I began my studies at Denver Seminary in 2014, I never imagined working at a gas station after graduation.  There is nothing wrong with such work, it’s just that my focus was on serving the local church, and I couldn’t see past that vision. I was certain God had called me to plant a church. I’m coming up on a year since the completion of my last class at Denver Seminary. I’m…

An Open Letter to Silent Pastors – Fight or Fade Away by Shane Idleman This article is being republished under a different title and is spring boarding off of a short video I recently recorded; watch it before reading any further.  Video Source A paraphrase that is often attributed to Alexis De Tocqueville—a Frenchman who authored Democracy in America in the early 1800s, helps to open this letter: “I looked throughout America to find where her greatness originated. I looked for it in her harbors and on her shorelines, in her fertile fields…

HOW FATHERS HELP ROLL BACK THE CURSE by Russell Moore for Core Christianity Joseph Reflects the Image of God Joseph’s fatherhood is significant for us precisely because of the way the gospel anchors it to the fatherhood of God himself. Joseph marries the virgin girl, taking the responsibility for the baby on himself. Moreover, he protects the woman and her child by rescuing them from Herod’s sword, exiling them in Egypt until the dictator’s rampage was ended by death. Interestingly, Matthew tells us, “This was to fulfill what the Lord…

How to Celebrate Thanksgiving in the Midst of Toxic Politics and COVID-19 Lockdowns by John W Whitehead for Rutherford “War is over. If you want it.”—John Lennon If ever there were a year filled with an abundance of bad news and a shortage of good news, 2020 would take the prize. Between the toxic political theater, pandemic scares, nationwide lockdowns that smack of martial law, a rollercoaster economy, and the ever-present menace of the police state, it’s been a hard, heart-wrenching, stomach-churning kind of year overrun with too much hate…

Should We Call Down Fire on Our Enemies? by Michael L. Brown for Ask Dr Brown As the Church of America becomes increasingly divided along political lines, a dangerous tendency is developing. Our party is the party of God; the other is the party of the devil. Our cause is entirely righteous; theirs is entirely wicked. We can therefore call down curses on our political enemies, since they are doing the devil’s work. It is no longer the kingdom of God vs. the kingdom of Satan, it is the Republicans vs.…

Prophetic Word: The Lord Is Saying Clearly, ‘Get Off the Porch!’ by RYAN JOHNSON for Charisma News “Blow the ram’s horn in Zion, consecrate a fast, call a sacred assembly. Gather the people, consecrate the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children and those nursing at the breast; let the bridegroom leave his room and the bride her chamber. Between the temple porch and the altar, let the priests, ministers of the Lord, weep and say, “Have pity upon Your people, and do not make Your heritage a disgrace, a…

Why should we study the Bible? from Compelling Truth Bookstores are filled with books attempting to help us figure out this life. Books on marriage, parenting, relationships, and personal growth fill countless shelves. Others claim to aid in addiction recovery and explain the meaning of life. Still more give views on life after death, good and evil, and the origin of human existence. But only the Bible gives us answers to those questions, and more, directly from the God who created us.
