COVID-19 Has Exposed This Toxic Spirit in the Church by JOHN BURTON for Charisma News All it took was a health scare to expose a negative spirit in many American Christians. “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones” (Prov. 17:22, ESV). It saddens me quite deeply to see a famously strong American people have their spirits so easily and thoroughly crushed by our recent crisis. However, the reaction of the American people pales in comparison to how disappointing the response of many Christians…

How One Church In India Provided More Than 3 Million Meals During the Pandemic by Michael L. Brown for Ask Dr Brown The story is remarkable, to the glory of God. It is a story that needs to be told. But first, for some background. I first met Satish Kumar in Hyderabad, India, in 1995. He was a young man, fairly new to the ministry, and at the very beginning of his journey. When we next met, in 2015, he was pastoring the world’s fastest growing church, having exploded from 25 to…

THE IRONY AND THE ECSTASY Zen Gardner, for Waking Times I find it especially ironic that this latest round of draconian clampdown is based on a media perpetuated invisible virus meme. No big war, no attacking enemy, no material weaponry, staged boogeymen or concocted “terrorists”. Yet this barrage of propaganda worked like a charm. Well, there are terrorists, as usual just the same old perpetrators. The overarching enemy within the gate, its very rulers managing the human farm, now draping a shroud of containment and despair on seemingly helpless humanity.…

Put on This Armor to Deflect Satan’s Fatal Attacks by MICHAEL LOMBARDO for Charisma News It’s no secret that the enemy is still killing, stealing and destroying in the world today. Evidence is all around us. The good news is, as believers, we don’t need to be subject to the enemy, and we can live above His plots and attacks. The church is seated with Christ in the heavenly places, above all spiritual powers, and we have the power of the Spirit to reign in life through Jesus. The church…

GOOD NEWS FOR DOUBTERS by Nick Davis for Core Christianity Doubt and the ever-debilitating “what-if” have ways of sneaking up on us, even in the sweetest moments of our lives and walks with the Lord. The most debilitating form of doubt a Christian could possibly face is likely doubting one’s own salvation. Those nagging, gnawing questions: “Does God really love me?”; “Am I really saved?”; “Am I truly forgiven?”; “Is my faith actually strong enough?” The overwhelming anxiety that captivates us, the fear that ensnares us, and the depression that…

French faithful joyfully return to worship as churches reopen after more than two months in lockdown By Jeanne Smits, for Life Site News Masses resumed over the weekend in several dioceses, but some bishops have chosen to keep their churches closed. Many cathedrals and parish churches in France opened for public Masses and other religious services over the weekend, attracting thousands of faithful deprived of public worship for more than two months because of lockdown measures related to COVID-19. Scenes of quiet and intense joy could be witnessed as believers returned…

The Veil of Deception—Truth Is Not a Conspiracy Theory from Shane Eidleman (For those interested, you can hear the sermon where this article came from here.)  In 1787, a woman asked Ben Franklin what sort of government the Founders had given the people. He said, “A Republic,” then added, “if you can keep it.” America, with all its spots and blemishes, is still a true gift from God . . . if we can keep it. As of now, we have the ability to self-govern and enjoy God-given freedoms. But the…

God Has Pushed a Big Reset Button by J. LEE GRADY for Charisma News Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for three months, you know gasoline is at record low prices. I paid $1.25 a gallon last week in Georgia. Some states are reporting prices below a dollar a gallon. There are two reasons for the price drop: Not as many people are buying gasoline because of the pandemic, and Russia and Saudi Arabia are engaged in a price war, causing the oil supply to swing up. Market analysts…
