Does Quoting Scripture Get Biden Off The Hook? No, Here’s Why… by Shane Idleman Though I don’t think he actually wrote one word of it, in a last-minute attempt to convince Christians to vote for him, Joe Biden peppered his newest op-ed with Scriptures. Ironically, what Biden and others miss is that the power of God’s Word is in the application of it, not merely in “quoting” it. James 1:22 warns, “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” James 4:17 adds, “Whoever knows the right thing to do…

4 APPROACHES TO UNDERSTANDING THE REDEMPTIVE NATURE OF SCRIPTURE by Bryan Chapell for Core Christianity All of Scripture Bears Witness We should be very willing to learn principles of redemptive interpretation that the New Testament writers employed and exemplified. From these principles we learn that the more common approach to understanding the redemptive nature of all biblical texts is to identify how God’s Word predicts, prepares for, reflects, or results from the person and/or work of Christ. These four categories of gospel explanation are not meant to be exhaustive or kept rigidly separate, but they do…

Jesus Saw the People, the Pain; So Should We DAN WOLGUMUTH for Charisma News “As he passed by, He saw a man blind from birth” (John 9:1). A recent trip to downtown Denver on the local train provided transportation and a bit more. Masks on. Space provided. Miles covered. Once downtown, a walk to a beautifully renovated office building—and the assignment at hand. I was focused. My mind locked on the subject in front of me. My destination was a studio where I would livestream a video to our Youth…

In preparation for election 2020, certain elitist evangelicals began to contrive all types of rationalizations for voting for a candidate who supports the killing of babies in the womb. Their lines? “You are not pro-life. You…

A Biblical View on Borders, Socialism, and Healthcare by Shane Idleman People are often left confused after elections: “How could they vote for so-and-so? I just don’t understand.” Many vote for candidates who don’t uphold a biblical worldview because they don’t know God themselves. They are choosing their own ways over God’s ways—“everyone did what was right in their own sight” and “a generation arose after them who did not know the LORD” (Judges 17:6; 21:25; 2:10 NKJV). Ignorance of God and His ways is fueling a culture devoid of wisdom.…

THE RIGHTFUL RISKS OF MOTHERHOOD by Gloria Furman for Core Christianity Mighty to Save As we remember eternity and embrace death for Christ as gain, then our lives will change. One change I predict is that we will stop helicopter mothering ourselves and the people around us. To helicopter mother is to hover over others with the intent of controlling them and/or the circumstances surrounding them. You’ve probably heard the term “helicopter mom” in regard to how some moms tend to obsessively overparent their children. Child psychologists in the West…

What does it mean to blaspheme? What is blasphemy? from Christian Truth Blasphemy is derisive language or any other insult against God, His character, and His system of proper worship. It is reflected in Old Testament law through the third commandment (do not take the Lord’s name in vain), in the pre-Mosaic law against murdering those made in the image of God (Genesis 9:6), and in the straightforward command to not blaspheme God’s name (Leviticus 24:16). David considered it a grave offence to disrespect God by harming His anointed ruler…
