THE POISON OF PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY

THE POISON OF PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY by Dave Jenkins for Servants of Grace Progressive Christianity is a movement that is outside historic Protestant theology. The movement grounds itself in a theology “from below”—namely a theology that focuses on how, according to progressive Christians, the Bible and one’s personal feelings come alongside each other.

Why Worship With Children?

Why Worship With Children? BY Daniel Nealon for Core Christianity “Where can I send my kids?” This is a common question that people ask when they go to a new church. And it’s well-intended. Many Christians have grown up in churches where adults and children go different ways on Sunday mornings. Parents attend the worship service while children go to a separate Sunday school hour. Having children in worship on a Sunday can feel unfamiliar. To be sure, it’s not easy to include children in corporate worship. My wife and I are…

Resting in God: The Difference Between Law & Gospel

Resting in God: The Difference Between Law & Gospel BY Ty Gregory for Core Christianity We all want to belong.

It’s hard to get in, and it’s even harder to…

Imitate Me: Paul’s Model of Mentorship by BETH JARVIS for Christianity Today Unlike power-driven approaches, healthy Christian mentoring is characterized by generosity and trust. I had been living in Germany for six months and was struggling to learn the language. I did fine with ordering groceries or buying a bus ticket. But I couldn’t tell a joke. I couldn’t share a story or a hope. I couldn’t make a friend. Thinking that a different language school might help, I called a new school in our small university town of Tübingen and…
