True Faith Looks Away from Self

True faith does not look into self, it looks out and away to the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the focus of faith

Written by Ian Hamilton | Saturday, July 28, 2012

True faith is “essentially extraspective” which highlights its primary movement. It does not look into self, it is not principally “introspective,” it looks out and away to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ending Postmodern Sexual Compromise of the Gospel

Are Evangelical pastors and churches capitulating to the homosexual agenda?

The Lies and Spin of Virginia Bishop Shannon S. Johnston

A challenge to a bishop’s take on the recent Episcopal General Convention’s adoption of a blessing ceremony for same sex unions

Written by David W. Virtue | Saturday, July 28, 2012

I supported the Convention’s resolution not because of the movement of secular culture but out of personal and theological conviction. Moreover, after over 30 years of the Church’s study and dialogues, I believe that it is time to be publically clear about the full acceptance of committed same-sex relationships in the life and witness of...

Dangerous Meditations

What harm is there in achieving a higher state of consciousness through meditation?

Written by Douglas Groothuis, Christianity Today | Saturday, July 28, 2012

No amount of chanting, breathing, visualizing, or physical contortions will melt away the sin that separates us from the Lord of the cosmos—however "peaceful" these practices may feel. Moreover, Paul warns that "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14). "Pleasant" experiences may be portals to peril. Even yoga teachers warn that yoga may open one up to spiritual and physical maladies.

Only traditionalist Archbishop of Canterbury can save Anglican church

Written by John Bingham, Religious Affairs Editor, The Telegraph (UK) | Friday, July 27, 2012

LGBT blogosphere has exploded in attempt to 'out him'

Written by Ed Stetzer, Lifeway | Friday, July 27, 2012

It's from my brokenness, that I feel I can now be transparent, honest, and authentic about these accusations. Those close to me know I have actually been planning to share the story of my brokenness for some time. Because it is part of my spiritual journey.
