Americans are failing to accomplish the important task of maintaining their freedom, Os Guinness argues in his new book, A Free People's Suicide: Sustainable Freedom and the American Future.

Poll: Churchgoers struggle in sharing their faith

"While most believers accept personal responsibility to share their belief in Jesus Christ with non-Christians, far fewer are seeking these opportunities."

Written by Jon D. Wilke , Baptist Press | Tuesday, August 14, 2012

"If you are going to be intentional about sharing your faith, praying for others is a great way to start," Stetzer said. "We often acknowledge the importance of prayer in people coming to faith in Christ, but we also found it has an impact on the person praying."

Why I Am (sort of) a Sabbatarian

Attempts to apply and enforce the sabbatarianism of the Westminster Standards have led to frequent conflict and disagreement among Presbyterians.

Written by William B. Evans | Tuesday, August 14, 2012

There seems to be a consensus among historians that the Puritan approach to the Sabbath reflected in the Westminster Standards is distinctive in the seventeenth-century context for its rigor and that this distinctiveness is to be at least partly explained in terms of the social and economic context of seventeenth-century Britain.

Small Town Church Makes Big Statement on Marriage

The elders of a Florida EPC congregation issue "The Brooksville Statement on Marriage"

Written by Matthew Everhard | Tuesday, August 14, 2012

The Brooksville Statement on Marriage is a 600-word declaration of conscience that attempts to do three things. (1) We hope to clearly define marriage in a generation in which the word “marriage” itself has lost all semblance of meaning. (2) We hoped to positively state our convictions regarding the delineations of human sexuality. (3) We hoped to speak a timely word of compassion and grace in a world of “bumper sticker” one-liners and alleged hate-speech.

Playing Fast and Loose with the “L” word

Legalism and obedience are all too often being confused with one another

Written by Michael Kruger | Tuesday, August 14, 2012

Happily, God has promised in the New Covenant to give us a heart to obey him. And every true Christian has found that obedience to God is not a burdensome thing. This is the work of his Spirit within us to bring us to obey him — not legalistically but faithfully.

Education’s effect on religion

The single most important factor regarding belief change was religious practice as an teenager:

Written by Nicholas C. DiDonato, Science on Religion | Tuesday, August 14, 2012

As so often happens, truth is stranger than fiction. While thinkers from the Enlightenment onwards expected education to cause a decrease in religion, history and science have told a much more complex story. Such thinkers may not like the results of Hill’s empirical study, but what can they do? After all, they’re the ones who claim to trust science.

How should a pastor respond when he is complimented about his sermon?

We can give God glory with our lips in response, but inside be welling up with pride.

Written by Brian Croft | Monday, August 13, 2012

Regardless the comment, if it was meant to encourage you, thank them for their encouraging words. Be grateful that however small, simple, or even shallow the comment, someone took the time to share their thoughts with you
