Most churchgoers prefer prayer to Bible reading: study

Most churchgoers prefer prayer to Bible reading: study by Leah MarieAnn Klett for Christian Today Most Protestant churchgoers in the United States spend time alone with God on a daily basis — but most talk to God through prayer rather than listening to Him through His Word, a new study has found.

Giving and Tithing

Giving and Tithing from CBN.com As Pat Robertson stated in his book, The Secret Kingdom, Christ’s admonition to “give and it will be given to you” defines a remarkable spiritual principle. It can also be called the law of reciprocity, which is quite evident in the physical world: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Smile at another person, and he’ll probably smile back at you. Be critical of others, and they’ll respond in kind. As you give, you will receive. Give generously, and you’ll receive in…

Kayleigh McEnany – ‘Living Through Chaos By Leaning on Christ’

Kayleigh McEnany – ‘Living Through Chaos By Leaning on Christ’ By Elizabeth Delaney for Western Journal To say that Kayleigh McEnany has had to navigate some turbulent political times would be an understatement. The former White House press secretary under former President Donald Trump has pretty much gone through everything the wild, dark and stormy world of politics can offer during her career. Truly she needed something supernatural to get her through the crazy times she encountered as a part of the White House staff during the years of COVID-19 lockdowns,…

What’s New in the Ancient City of David?

What’s New in the Ancient City of David? by Jonathan Feldstein for Charisma News The book of 2 Samuel, chapter 11 recounts the beginning of the relationship between King David and Bathsheba, who was still the wife of Uriah at the time. Wouldn’t it be fascinating if David had sent a letter to Uriah after he left for battle, so as to provide plausible deniability for Uriah’s death, thus permitting David to marry Bathsheba? And what if that letter—complete with King David’s seal—was not only never delivered but, if found today,…

Why Understanding Your Identity Is Key in Spiritual Battles

Why Understanding Your Identity Is Key in Spiritual Battles by Curt Landry for Charisma News Understanding your identity is key in spiritual battles. It is the first thing you must do. It is only because of your identity in Yeshua that you can come boldly into the throne room of God and know that you are a victor and that your gifts and armor are already paid and prepared for you. When you seek God first, He honors you. Part of seeking Him is to understand who He says you are…

Fasting For Spiritual Breakthrough in 2023

Fasting For Spiritual Breakthrough in 2023 by Shane Idleman Special note: for those who need help in this area, we recently released a documentary on my 40-day fast that can be viewed here. You choose: Will it be the pain of discipline or the pain of regret? One yields a sense of extreme fulfillment; the other, a lingering sense of defeat. Ironically, we pray for God to heal when we should also pray for the self-discipline to change harmful habits. Fasting is hard because self-denial is hard (discipline), and overindulging…

There’s A Reason Moving In Before Marriage Makes Divorce More Likely, But Barstool Can’t Figure It Out

There’s A Reason Moving In Before Marriage Makes Divorce More Likely, But Barstool Can’t Figure It Out BY: ELLE PURNEL for The Federalist To approach marriage as a means to the end of loving ourselves is to make the marriage as futile of a pursuit as ‘self-love’ is. First comes love, then comes an indeterminate period of conveniently living together to decide whether your partner’s dishwasher-loading habits are a dealbreaker, then comes marriage. Today a lot of young daters assume moving in together is a prerequisite for matrimonial success. But it…

Three cultural lies too many Christians still believe

Three cultural lies too many Christians still believe by Chris Elkins for Denison Forum “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” That’s psychoanalyst Walter Charles Langer (1899–1981), best known for a psychological analysis of Adolf Hitler. His truth about lying is still true. So let’s address three popular lies perpetrated daily on our culture. They’re easy to believe, and many have fallen for one or more of them. Lie #1: Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt…
