Holy Spirit Baptism Radically Transforms Struggling Missionaries—And Believers Across Denominations

Holy Spirit Baptism Radically Transforms Struggling Missionaries—And Believers Across Denominations by CHRISTINE D. JOHNSON for Charisma News As a self-confessed “arrogant seminary student,” Brad Long thought he had it all together theologically when he and his wife, Laura, moved to South Korea as missionaries.

WHY WON’T MY FEELINGS OF EMPTINESS JUST DISAPPEAR?

WHY WON’T MY FEELINGS OF EMPTINESS JUST DISAPPEAR? by Andrew Menkis for Core Christianity “The strongest guard is placed at the gateway to nothing. Maybe because the condition of emptiness is too shameful to be divulged.” These words from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel Tender is the Night have haunted me ever since I first read them.

While it’s not “hot-off-the-press” it’s still hot!! ****** Black Friday has certainly given America’s cultural reputation a black eye. The day after we pause to give thanks as a nation for God’s provisions, we trample security guards for iPhones and flat-screen televisions.

This Could Be the Church’s Finest Hour

This Could Be the Church’s Finest Hour by Michael L. Brown for Ask Dr Brown The bad news comes pouring in by the minute. America is divided. America is confused. America is angry. America is messed up – deeply so. And despite the many good things happening in our nation today – and they are happening by the millions – the good is outweighed by the bad. There is more darkness than light, more sin than godliness, more flesh than Spirit. From the inner cities to the suburbs and from nursery…

How Our View Of The World Affects Learning, Knowledge And Understanding

How Our View Of The World Affects Learning, Knowledge And Understanding by: Bill Heid for Off the Grid News First of all, a good discussion with respect to how our view of the world affects learning has to start right here: God knows Himself.  He is light without darkness (1 Jn. 1:5). There are no hidden corners in His essence. He can never surprise Himself.  He knows His own mind and purposes.  And this God created heaven and earth. When God made the world, He had no reference books, no helpers, no…
