Keeping Our Distance From Each Other Is Not the Will of the Father by DR. STEVE GREENE for Charisma News After my parents divorced, I chose to live with my father when he remarried. I don’t remember all the particulars, but I knew it was what I must do. The first few mornings of life with my step-mother were very important. I watched as she prepared to leave the house for work. On her way out, she always hugged and kissed her two boys. She included me. I can still…

DID GOD DIE ON GOOD FRIDAY?
DID GOD DIE ON GOOD FRIDAY? by Adriel Sanchez for Core Christianity The centerpiece of Good Friday is the cross of Jesus Christ. On the Friday before Easter, Jesus was crucified and died. This creates a dilemma in the mind of some. If Jesus is God, how could he die? After all, God cannot change (Mal. 3:6), so how are we to make sense of Jesus’ death? Was it real? Believe it or not, some people in church history said it was not! Early on, there was a heretical group…

READ MOREThey Can Keep Christians From Holy Week Services, But Nothing Can Stop Easter
They Can Keep Christians From Holy Week Services, But Nothing Can Stop Easter By Joy Pullmann for The Federalist This week especially, I feel each additional incarnated religious tradition destroyed by ‘social distancing’ edicts as a fresh wound. It is a true and deep loss to be forced from our churches during Holy Week. My friends were posting cute pictures of their kids all dressed up for “church at home” this past Sunday, waving their palm fronds, ready to watch a Palm Sunday livestream. I wished I could suck it up…
READ MOREWe’re All Children Now
We’re All Children Now by JEREMY PIERRE for The Gospel Coalition The MRI technician did a double-take when I entered the room. I was a walking carcinogen. My face was streaked with ash, my glasses cloudy with soot, my otherwise white shirt gray on the collar and shoulders. I smelled of reckoning. The intended brain scan had nothing to do with the reckoning I’d just walked out of. I was only getting the scan because a months-long headache had driven me to all kinds of doctors, who’d helped me rule…

Prophetic teacher Sterling Sawyer of Liberty Tree Ministries says we’re just telling part of the story if we only teach forgiveness. Instead, he says, we must present a “whole cross” message. “Being washed by Jesus is exactly where we should start,” Sawyer says. “It prepares you and me for the further work of the cross, where the Spirit starts…

JARED KUSHNER PROPOSES A NATIONAL COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM FOR TRACKING MOVEMENTS OF ALL INFECTED US CITIZENS IN REAL-TIME by Geoffrey Grider for Now the End Begins The Jared Kushner project would draw on detailed information collected from multiple private-sector databases. The notion of a national surveillance network has also faced resistance internally from some health officials, who argue that the federal government should only go as far as setting broad standards for disease and resource tracking and leave it to individual states to stand up their own surveillance networks, according…
