Written by Staff | Sunday, April 17, 2016

Covenant College has elected to forfeit the Women’s Tennis USA South Conference championship match, scheduled for April 17, 2016. The championship match takes place on a Sunday, and as an institution owned and operated by the Presbyterian Church in America we observe the Sabbath by not competing in athletic events on Sunday.   ROCKY MOUNT,...

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?

Written by Todd Pruitt | Tuesday, April 12, 2016

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.

Written by Mickey L. Mattox | Sunday, April 3, 2016

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?”

Written by Don Carson, Graham Cole, Douglas Sweeney, Harold A. Netland | Thursday, March 31, 2016

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.

Written by Samantha Gobba | Thursday, March 31, 2016

But Campus Pride timed its campaign to coincide with one of the NCAA’s most-watched events—March Madness. The NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Championship generates 90 percent of the organization’s yearly revenue, and Campus Pride has leveraged the publicity to increase pressure on the organization.   (WNS)–Campus Pride, an LGBT activist group, is pressuring the National...

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.

Written by Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra | Tuesday, March 29, 2016

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...

Four Wycliffe Bible Translators Murdered by Militants in Middle East

The militants also destroyed translating equipment, including Print on Demand equipment, books, and translation materials.

Written by Veronica Neffinger | Sunday, March 27, 2016

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. These last two managed to protect and save the lead translator by lying on top of him while the militants beat them with their now-empty weapons.  ... Continue Reading

A Marathon Mentality for Ministry

The man of God needs to be ready for the long, hard race set before him

Written by Nick Batzig | Saturday, March 26, 2016

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...

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.

Written by Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra | Friday, March 25, 2016

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...
