Special Report: Evangelical Christianity In Crisis
Special Report: Evangelical Christianity In Crisis by Michael Snyder for End of the American Dream The evangelical movement in the United States has reached a moment of reckoning. To the surprise of many readers, this is actually not an article about Donald Trump. Yes, evangelicals have become very closely linked to President Trump over the past four years, and this has deeply affected how many outsiders view the evangelical movement. But no matter what happens politically, evangelical churches will just continue to keep doing what they have been doing. In…

“Our Only Hope—A Mighty Move Of God’s Spirit” by Shane Idleman While Pastor Idleman wrote this piece in 2013 it may be more relevant today. Our world is on a fast track to hell unless you and I – believers everywhere – don’t stop what we’re doing, get on our knees and pray until we can’t pray any more. We need to rally Christians everywhere, send out the battle cry and call people to Christ. Make it happen, only you can call on the Holy Spirit to stop the spread of…

Why Jeremiah 18 Is the Key to Overcoming the Spirit of Double-Mindedness DR. KYNAN BRIDGES for Charisma News I have often heard pastors and teachers, teach on the subject of double-mindedness, but what if I told you it was much deeper than what we think?

Here are three false teachings about Jesus that the early church had to reject: 1. Jesus only appeared to be human (Docetism). Early in the church, there were those who argued that the incarnate God only appeared to be human. After all, how could God possibly take human flesh to himself? The idea seemed absurd to…

Does Romans 2:7 teach works salvation? from Christian Truth Romans 2:6–8 says: “He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.” At first glance, this passage may seem to imply that we are saved by our own good works. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Throughout the…

John Bevere Says We Must Steward Our God-Given Gifts MICHAEL LOMBARDO for Charisma News God has granted every single one of His children with spiritual gifts to use for His glory and purposes. Each gift is valuable and vital according to the Scriptures for the benefit of others and for expanding the kingdom of heaven on earth.
