Hey, Joe!
It’s time for bishops to take a public stand on morally bankrupt Catholic politicians.
If every Roman Catholic bishop in the country wrote such a letter to every Roman Catholic politician who made a mockery of Church teaching, the effect would be predictably stunning. The scorn and hatred poured down on the hierarchy would be awesome to behold. Christians would be reviled by the media from dawn till dusk.... Continue Reading
Christian Club Wins Free Speech Fight at N.C. State
University agrees to change policy requiring permits to talk about faith
According to Grace, the club registered for a speech permit in January and set up an information table in the student union. Clubs advertising everything from UNICEF to Latin dancing distribute literature and strike up conversations in the facility, but a Student Involvement employee ordered Grace members to stand quietly behind their display and speak...

Heresy in the Highlands
These tele-evangelists are not offering a different form of the gospel, they are offering a different gospel altogether.
But the trouble is most of the heretical churches I know would quite happily call themselves theologically robust, gospel declaring, missionary orientated, Holy Spirit empowered and even reformed! The labels don’t mean much if the content is rubbish. That’s why am glad I belong to a confessional church, where our doctrine is not decided by... Continue Reading
Ministering to Addicts
Whether public or private, big or little, outward or inward, addictions are real and are ultimately matters of the heart in the lives of image bearers of God.
All addictions have consequences and must be taken seriously. We should not underestimate the significance of addictions in our lives or in the lives of others. What’s more, we should not make addictions insignificant things and simply ridicule and threaten addicts, leaving them to themselves and abandoning them in their addictions. If we ignore an...

Governing God’s House: How 500 Churches Keep from Collapsing
First ECFA survey of church governance trends reveals which boards are most effective
“The No. 1 qualification for a board member is faithfulness. Almost 90 percent of those surveyed said that was a characteristic they desired in church board members, far above the No. 2 qualification—being a consistent giver—which was desired by 52 percent of respondents.” Those late-night board meetings at church may have you dragging the...

The Spiritually Dangerous State of the Anglican Communion
One senses an air of insanity has been cast over the communion with Archbishop Justin Welby doing backflips trying to keep it all together
Welby recently hired a new lady “reconciler”, Sarah Snyder, as his new Advisor for Reconciliation. David Porter, the previous professional reconciler, got pushed upstairs to become Welby’s right hand man to help him arm wrestle truth to the ground. “We have never had so many client meetings starting with statements such as ‘we are...

Christian Film Confronts Christians Addiction to Pornography
The Heart of the Matter is a film documentary offering a compassionate response to Christians addicted to pornography and sex.
The issue of pornography and its devastating impacts has certainly gained wider attention in our culture. From the pulpit to the blogosphere, we’re hearing more and more conversations about how porn harms people. But a serious Christian documentary film confronting the objectification and emotional and spiritual enslavement perpetuated by the porn industry is a fresh... Continue Reading
Tim Keller, Redeemer City to City, and the Rise Campaign
Pastor Tim Keller of Redeemer New York (PCA) has announced this week that he will be stepping down as Senior Pastor in order to dedicate his work towards church planting in New York City
“In order to grow the body of Christ in New York City from 5% to 15%, church planting is essential. We cannot reach a tipping point merely through the transfer of Christians from other churches—we must welcome and serve those who do not currently profess faith. New churches are shown to be the most effective... Continue Reading
CCCU Board Considers Membership Requirements
Task force recommends approach to differing hiring policies involving same-sex marriage
Last July, following the Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision legalizing same-sex marriage, two CCCU member schools, Eastern Mennonite University and Goshen College, announced new hiring policies to include non-celibate homosexual faculty and staff. At the end of a two-month consultation with members, the two schools voluntarily withdrew from the council in September. The board said the... Continue Reading
