As You Draw Near to Him, Draw Near to Them by DR. STEVE GREENE for Charisma News We practiced social distancing long before we needed a tape measure to create distance. The enemies of presence are many. The seemingly magnetic draw of an idle iPhone compels separation from social presence. It’s so difficult to remain present. Our minds rehearse material for meetings later in the day. We check and respond to text messages and simultaneously wish to spend more time with the person seated across from us. Divorce from table…

3 REASONS TO STUDY THE TRINITY by Andrew Menkis for Core Christianity The Trinity is hard to understand and even harder to explain to others, so we tend to spend little time thinking or talking about it. This attitude is tragic. When we only believe God is a Trinity because we know we’re supposed to, we deprive ourselves of great truth, hope, and joy. As we meditate on the reality that our God is triune, we should be moved to worship God for who he is, we should be encouraged…

America at War with Godless Marxists – Alex Newman By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com Journalist Alex Newman says the so-called protests around the country are really well funded riots and attacks on the foundation of America.  It’s as much about thought shaping as doing damage and wreaking havoc.  Newman says, “What we are seeing here is a well-orchestrated and engineered psyop. . . . It’s a psyop of massive proportions. . . . Obviously, Soros is big into funding these things.  He’s been funding Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM). We…

Cultivating Christlike Virtue in a Virtue-Signaling Age by DUSTIN CROWE for The Gospel Coalition In You Are What You Love, James K. A. Smith critiques American evangelicalism for equating knowledge with spiritual maturity. What we think is often prized above all, leading to “bobblehead Christianity.” Like the guy at the gym with big biceps and tiny calves, though, when we have inflated heads and shriveled hearts, our spiritual training needs correction. As debates rage on in American churches related to COVID-19, church openings, racial injustices, politics, and the government’s power, one symptom of our reverence for rationality but collapse of…

I confess, it’s hard to miss a news conference these days. Here in California the question is, “What phase are we in? How long will it last? Who can open up?” A lot of us are paying more attention to these kinds of things than we ever have because we’re hoping for a bit of progress and respite. We…
