The Heartbreaking Reason Christians Across the World Are Joining in Prayer Today
The Heartbreaking Reason Christians Across the World Are Joining in Prayer Today by KELSEY CAMPBELL for Charisma News My mother pours her prayers onto the page every morning. Consistently, she sits at her dining room table before anyone else is awake. Before the early sunlight has even trespassed onto the linoleum floor. Before she exercises, eats breakfast or showers, she brings a list of thanks and requests to God. Her notebook for prayer requests is simple: a plain, college-ruled notepad. It holds lists of names, circumstances and dates beside each.…
READ MORETHE PRINCE WHO CAME TO SERVE
THE PRINCE WHO CAME TO SERVE by Justin Holcomb for Core Christianity When Jesus washed his disciples’ feet, he exploded our normal ideas about what God does. Creating, judging, and rewarding are things that sound like divine activities—not eating dinner with prostitutes, going to parties with tax collectors, and cleaning dirt off of people: Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around…

READ MOREWhen #ChurchToo Happens at Your Church, Too
When #ChurchToo Happens at Your Church, Too by ANONYMOUS for The Gospel Coalition Over the years, I knew I should pray for God to keep my pastor from disqualifying sins, but my prayers almost felt disloyal, like I didn’t trust my pastor. I had seen pastoral sin happen at my cousin’s church and my friend’s church and all those churches I read about online. But I didn’t believe it could happen at mine. Until it did. Sometimes the revelation of #churchtoo happens with lots of noise and headlines, thousands of congregants and…
READ MOREWhatever Happened to Worship in the Modern Church?
Whatever Happened to Worship in the Modern Church? by STEPHEN MYERS for Charisma News A.W. Tozer asked this question as a part of a sermon series that was turned into a book after his death. This question has stuck with me for some time as I have tried to understand worship in the context of the New Testament church: Is it ever-changing or has it fallen away? This has led me to ask the following questions: What exactly is worship? How is worship done? Why do people worship? Does worship…

Tennessee….There Ain’t No Place I’d Rather Be by Randolph Jason for Gospel News Network GNN Note – False pride combined with a bad back is a terrible thing. This is the email that was sent to Pastor Mike and the people involved. Hurting my back so many years ago is now taking it’s toll. It breaks my heart to have to stand on the sidelines and not help people that mean as much to me as the two of you mean to myself and (my wife). After explaining to Pastor…
READ MOREA Wife’s Submission Depends on her Husband’s Love – True or False? What Russians Are Taught
A Wife’s Submission Depends on her Husband’s Love – True or False? What Russians Are Taught by Lindsay Marks Harold for Russian-Faith “She can’t feel loved until she rests under her husband’s leadership and follows him. This is the way she was made. Being led makes her feel loved.” As a wife myself, I often take notice of how people discuss marriage and relationships, both in society and in the church. I have noticed that a lot of Christian women today refuse to submit to their husbands until he meets…
READ MOREHow Decadence Could Give Way to Revival
How Decadence Could Give Way to Revival by COLLIN HANSEN • ROSS DOUTHAT for The Gospel Coalition I don’t know what vision the term “decadence” conjures up for you. Some advertising campaign years ago implanted an association for me with chocolate cake. But Ross Douthat sees a rich and powerful society no longer going anywhere in particular. We’re stuck with economic stagnation, political stalemates, cultural exhaustion, and demographic decline. He writes: “For the first time since 1491, we have found the distances too vast and the technology too limited to take us…
READ MOREPutting the Culture Wars in a Multigenerational Perspective
Putting the Culture Wars in a Multigenerational Perspective by Michael L. Brown for Ask Dr Brown It’s the question I’ve heard now for many years, specifically from evangelical Christians. “Since the world is only getting worse, why bother fighting the culture wars? What’s the use? What’s the point? Isn’t it better for us simply to share our faith and prepare for the return of Jesus?” To be sure, if I knew for a fact that Jesus was coming back in a week, I would not spend that week writing articles about…
