What the Soviets Intended for Siberia, God Intended for Good by Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra for The Gospel Coalition When Evgeny Bakhmutsky’s grandfather baptized him, the older man cried—but not just happy tears. “He was crying because he knew I might be arrested the next day,” Bakhmutsky said. “And he was crying because he knew Christianity is a road to suffering and pain and likely death.” Peter Bakhmutsky wasn’t being overly dramatic. In 1945, the pastor had been exiled to the labor camps in Siberia, shoved from one mine to another.…

WHAT ALL CHRISTIANS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE 7 NOAHIDE LAWS, THE NEW WORLD ORDER AND THE COMING SHORT-LIVED KINGDOM OF THE ANTICHRIST by Geri Ungurean for Now The End Begins Recently many of us have been reading about something called the Noahide laws.

How Christianity Is Helping Keep Hong Kong’s Stunning Protests A Peaceful Beacon To The World By Helen Raleigh for The Federalist What’s more impressive than 2 million people walking down central Hong Kong demanding freedom? How about the scene where the human wave moved to the side in an orderly fashion to let an ambulance pass without anyone directing them? How about before going home for the night, the young protesters stayed to ensure there was no litter left on the streets that 2 million people walked? How about that there was nothing, not a…

June 21, 2019June 20, 2019 Randolph Jason

A Guide to Prevailing in the Battle of Prayer by Bryan Litfin for The Gospel Coalition The Gospel Coalitions’ note: Taking the advice of C. S. Lewis, we want to help our readers “keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds,” which, as he argued, “can be done only by reading old books.” Continuing our Rediscovering Forgotten Classics series we want to survey some forgotten Christian classics that remain relevant and serve the church today. Prayer is an old-fashioned Christian virtue that we retain today because we know we should. “I’ll…

But if you struggle with pornography, perhaps the last thing you want to do is reflect on your early years with your father. The roots of porn bondage can often be traced back to a dad’s esteem-crushing put-downs, physical or emotional abuse or other hurtful acts towards you.

THE KIND OF FAITH THAT WILL SURVIVE A POST-CHRISTIAN CULTURE

June 13, 2019June 13, 2019 Randolph Jason

THE KIND OF FAITH THAT WILL SURVIVE A POST-CHRISTIAN CULTURE by Nicholas Davis for Core Christianity Christianity is true, and it may even be good, but rarely is it known as beautiful.
