YOU CAN’T BE GOOD WITHOUT GOD

YOU CAN’T BE GOOD WITHOUT GOD by Andrew Menkis for Core Christianity When I was in college I used to enjoy talking with and debating the members of the Freethought Club on campus. The Freedom from Religion Foundation defines a freethinker as “a person who forms opinions about religion on the basis of reason, independently of tradition, authority, or established belief. Freethinkers include atheists, agnostics, and rationalists.” Every Tuesday afternoon they set up a table outside of the student union and talked to anyone who was interested in their group or their views.…

Hagia Sophia’s Reversion Into A Mosque Is A Turning Point In History By Sumantra Maitra for The Federalist While Americans behead Columbus and the British topple Rhodes, Hagia Sophia’s reconversion shows that the rest of the world still reveres national history, and it gives them strength.

Living With Hope in a Hopeless World

Living With Hope in a Hopeless World by BILL JOHNSON for Charisma News When Jesus declared that the last days would be filled with war, famine, earthquakes and other disasters, He wasn’t trying to discourage those who followed Him. Instead, He was describing the conditions into which He was sending His last-days army. Hope isn’t just a feeling we search for; it’s something we grab hold of and bring into every situation in our lives. We recognize how easy it is to become overwhelmed with personal problems, not to mention…

A PERSONAL VS. PRIVATE RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST

A PERSONAL VS. PRIVATE RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST by Jen Oshman for Core Christianity Privatizing Jesus I think what we have seen in the church over the last several decades—maybe the last few generations—is a prioritization of our faith being personal. This is good and right. We must have that moment where we personally surrender to the Lord and personally receive his free and sweet gift of salvation. However, as we’ve prioritized that personal relationship, we’ve also privatized it. We’ve said, “Your relationship with the Lord is yours. It’s private. There’s nothing…

Is Salvation a Reward or a Gift? Yes

Is Salvation a Reward or a Gift? Yes by MARK JONES for The Gospel Coalition When a sinner believes in Jesus they have the right to eternal life. This is a strong emphasis in the New Testament. Eternal life is God’s free gift in Christ Jesus (Rom. 6:23) for all who believe (Rom. 3:22–24). The person who believes “has eternal life” (John 3:36), so there is “now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 8:1). These verses and many more highlight the glorious truth that salvation is…
