5 WAYS GOD IS FATHER TO THE FATHERLESS

5 WAYS GOD IS FATHER TO THE FATHERLESS by Leah Baugh for Core Christianity In an age when families are often split and there seem to be more single parents than ever, the concept of God as our Father loses meaning with many people today.

3 Unchanging Truths for a ‘Post-Truth’ World

3 Unchanging Truths for a ‘Post-Truth’ World by JARED C. WILSON  for The Gospel Coalition This is adapted from a message I preached last year on Peter’s Pentecost sermon in Acts 2. The first thing we should note is that a post-Christian age is not a problem for God.

False Pride vs

False Pride vs When I was drunk all the time or whacked on this drug or combination of alcohol and any assortment of drugs you couldn’t tell me anything – I knew it all. It was like that time in our lives between about age 16-17 through approximately 30 years of age – you remember, you knew everything and your parents were, well, let’s say nowhere near as wise as you.

Is Much of Today’s Evangelism Doing More Damage Than Good?

Is Much of Today’s Evangelism Doing More Damage Than Good? by JOHN BURTON for Charisma News Here are four reasons why much of today’s evangelism is actually hurting the advance of the Kingdom.
