The “Amputation” Approach to Changing Your Primary Story by TREVIN WAX for The Gospel Coalition In this series so far, I’ve laid out one of the challenges facing the church today: we affirm the public truth of the gospel but live as if another story is primary. The narrative that gives our life meaning and direction is a lesser story, not the Scriptural one. Growth in Christlikeness should mark the plot points of a Christian’s story, but Cameron views all his setbacks and steps forward in light of career advancement. The good fight against the…

US Alcohol Epidemic Gives Church Major Opportunity to Help
US Alcohol Epidemic Gives Church Major Opportunity to Help By Tré Goins-Phillips for Faith Wire GNN Note – As a recovered alcoholic and a person committed to participating in the 12th Step (spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ) it is disheartening to know there are so many churches that do so little to help with the homeless, the addicted and the unwanted, the unwashed and societal rejects. ****** The United States is in the middle of a fast-growing epidemic: the number of alcohol-related deaths has more than doubled over the last…

Jonathan Cahn Reveals Stunning Mysteries that Show ‘Fingerprints of God’ by JONATHAN CAHN for Charisma News “What if I told you of a mystery that began thousands of years ago and yet operates in the modern world, guiding, synchronizing, conforming all human events, directing the actions of leaders, the courses of nations and of world history itself—to bring about its appointed purposes,” Cahn said. “It may seem hard to believe—but it’s real. The mystery begins on a mountaintop in a desert thousands of years ago and is determining events of…
READ MORETHREE WAYS CHRISTIANS MISUNDERSTAND OBEDIENCE
THREE WAYS CHRISTIANS MISUNDERSTAND OBEDIENCE by Daniel Darling for Core Christianity I’ll never forget the conversation my wife and I had with a troubled teen several years ago. She grew up in a very dysfunctional, chaotic home with little structure. She said, “I wish someone had given me rules to live by.” Now most kids don’t say these words. I’ve yet to hear one of my children thank me for the rules in our home. But make no mistake, humans crave order and accountability. Often Christians dismiss rules, as if the…
READ MOREWhy You Must Rethink Your Life Story In Light of the Gospel
Why You Must Rethink Your Life Story In Light of the Gospel by TREVIN WAX for The Gospel Coalition The gospel isn’t about us. It’s a message for us, yes, but it’s ultimately a royal announcement about Jesus. Even if you were never to have existed, the gospel would still be true. It is, as we saw in the previous column, “public truth.” And as the cosmic announcement of the crucified and risen Jesus as King, this message stands at the heart of the Scriptural Story of our world. Public Truth, Minimal Change…

How America’s Woman-Dominant Sexual Dynamic Is Destroying Marriages And Families By Suzanne Venker for The Federalist That’s the missing element in the push for the so-called equal marriage. By suggesting men and women are essentially the same, we set them up to fail. Susan Forray is a 44-year-old divorced actuary who wrote in The New York Times about her relationship with a man unlike all the others she dated in the past, in that he believed in traditional gender roles. This gentleman told Forray flat-out one day, “I’m the man. I should be in…

How the Great Awakening Impacted the Civil Rights Movement by EDDIE HYATT for Charisma News Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and America’s black church are a vital part of the legacy of 1726 and the Great Awakening that began that year. As I have documented in my latest book, 1726, the Awakening had a profound impact on the black populace of Colonial America. Indeed, it was out of this Awakening that the American black church was born and the spiritual and moral resources were unleashed that eventually brought about the end of…
READ MORENations Should Fight For An International Right to Life Law
Nations Should Fight For An International Right to Life Law By Lianne Laurence for Life Site News GNN Note – It gives me a lot more hope that someone is thinking about issue of this magnitude. The fact of the matter is, the U.S. would not have to import one person if Roe v Wade never existed. Our nation would look, and function, a lot different than what we see today. Then again, it’s part of what needed to happen in order to bring us to this point. ****** U.S.…
