This Is More Important Than Recognizing “the Mark of the Beast”

This Is More Important Than Recognizing “the Mark of the Beast” by Michael L. Brown for Ask Dr Brown I’m hearing questions like these virtually every day from concerned Christians. “Do you think world reaction to the coronavirus is preparing the way for the antichrist?

And I’m certainly not keen on the government having the right to insert a chip in our bodies.…

WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE THAT JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD? by Michael Horton for Core Christianity In answering this question, it’s helpful for us to return to the “facts of the case.” Here, speculation is useless. It does not matter what we thought reality was like: whether we believed in thirty gods or none. It doesn’t matter what we find helpful, meaningful, or fulfilling. This is not about spirituality or moral uplift. Something has happened in history and we cannot wish it away. It either happened or it did not…

Government Officials Use Pandemic As Excuse To Attack Christianity

Government Officials Use Pandemic As Excuse To Attack Christianity By R. Albert Mohler, Jr. for The Federalist Declaring religious services to be ‘non-essential’ is beyond the rightful role of government. Instead, officials should equally apply all limits.

Belonging in a Time of Isolation

Belonging in a Time of Isolation by KELLY KAPIC for The Gospel Coalition We are created for communion with God and others—so what do we do in a time of social distancing?
