An Appeal to the Organizers of Together for the Gospel
How can the organizers of T4G allow CJ Mahaney a place on the platform this year?
I appeal therefore to the organizers of T4G to remove C.J. Mahaney not only from the roster of speakers but also from the organization itself. It gives me no pleasure to write that sentence. I do not know C.J. Mahaney. He may be an honorable man who is truly innocent of every one of the... Continue Reading
Marquette’s Gender Regime
“Diversity” and “inclusion” are vague and uncertain terms that can mean almost anything. At Marquette they have become code for challenging Catholic sexual morality.
The new gender regime at Marquette quietly encourages students to understand themselves in terms of this new morality, one in which there’s no place for natural law. “Assigned” gender, that is, one’s sexual identity as confirmed by physicians at birth, is now open to question. Each student is encouraged to assess his comfort with his... Continue Reading
The Message of Islam vs. The Gospel of Jesus
Questions about relations between Muslims and Christians continue to receive widespread attention; in particular, “Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?”
There are some clear similarities between Christian and Muslim beliefs. For example, both Islam and Christianity are monotheistic religions that maintain the universe was created by God, that God has given humanity a special revelation, and that there will be a final judgment. But there are fundamental differences as well—differences that take us to the... Continue Reading
Campus Pride Calls On NCAA To Cut Ties With Christian Colleges
Campus Pride, an LGBT activist group, is pressuring the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to cut ties with Christian colleges over their views on transgenderism and homosexuality.

Pay-to-Pray Scam: Christian Prayer Center Must Refund $7 Million
Seattle-based website with 1 million Facebook fans used deceptive methods to entice people to pay $9 to $35 for prayers.
More than 125,000 people did pay. From 2011 to 2015, their more than 400,000 transactions poured more than $7 million dollars into the pocket of site creator Benjamon Rogovy. The trouble was, the popular site—which eclipsed even the International House of Prayer in its Facebook following—was a fraud. A counter-Facebook page, the Christian Prayer Center... Continue Reading

The militants also destroyed translating equipment, including Print on Demand equipment, books, and translation materials.
According to Wycliffe, a raid took place on the translators’ office. Two of the translators were shot and killed, while another two died of wounds from being beaten.

A Marathon Mentality for Ministry
The man of God needs to be ready for the long, hard race set before him
I like to sprint. I sometimes find myself falling subject to the tyranny of bigger/faster. Many years ago, a friend and mentor, told me, “Ministry is not a sprint; it’s a marathon.” How right he was! I was always better at sprinting than running long distance–back in the days when I actually ran…in high... Continue Reading
Bill Gothard’s Former Institute Loses ECFA Accreditation over Governance
Bill Gothard’s former ministry has lost its seal of approval from the leading group that sets the standards for evangelical ministries.
The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) terminated the membership of the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) last Friday, citing “failure to comply” with its governance standard. ECFA requires member organizations to have a board of at least five people (mostly independents) that pray, chart long-range strategy, and identify potential conflicts of interest, among...
