Left-wing foundations are spending millions to promote environmentalism and ‘climate action’ among young evangelicals
Environmental grant-making is big business. In 2012, 673 U.S. foundations gave thousands of grants worth $1.59 billion for advocacy and programs involving animals, wildlife, and the environment, according to the Foundation Center. The top environmental donor that year was the liberal William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, a major funder of Planned Parenthood and the pro-abortion... Continue Reading
Plant a Tree on Your Way Out
Knowing the end is coming, what do I do today? I will plant a tree.
Any fruit on this fallen earth will certainly seem small. It might look slightly bruised. It’ll probably harbor a worm or two. I’m not really planting trees for this world. I’m planting them for the next. I cling to that promise of my God, “He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall... Continue Reading
Woman Accused of Lying About Race Has Belhaven University Ties
An NAACP leader, professor and artist with ties to Jackson, Miss., has made national headlines after her parents alleged their daughter has been falsely portraying herself as African-American.
Rachel Dolezal, who now lives in Washington, graduated from Belhaven University in 2000 and was active in the Jackson community through Voices of Calvary Ministries, her mother Ruthanne Dolezal told The Clarion-Ledger. Her daughter, she says, came to Jackson after graduating from high school in Troy, Montana, because of her interest in Mississippi-based civil rights... Continue Reading
Are You Serious about Repenting of Racial Sins: Here’s a Place to Start
Here is the easiest sort of repentance. It requires no more than to say to that couple and to the students of that era, "I/we were wrong. I/we are sorry."
Over time, because of invitations given by white students in dorms, Black students became involved in the ministry, attending the large group and small group Bible studies. Eventually at least (memory a little dull here) three Black male students became leaders as they became member of our student Core Group. RUF-USM was the only “integrated”... Continue Reading
Looking For Poverty Solutions That Actually Work
Over the last 50 years, American taxpayers have spent 22 trillion dollars on anti-poverty programs, yet the poverty rate has remained essentially the same.
In the face of such dismal statistics, a group of economists and psychologists conducted worldwide experiments to help the poor save money and live better not through government entitlement programs or social services, but through interventions to help the poor achieve economic security themselves. (WNS)–In the 50 years since Lyndon Johnson declared war on... Continue Reading
Madeleine L’Engle’s Foundation Awards Grant To LGBT Group At Wheaton College
The foundation of Madeleine L’Engle has awarded OneWheaton, an independent community of LGBT students and alumni from Wheaton College, a $5,000 grant

Missionary, You Suffer For A Reason
Missionaries are often unprepared to address the intensity of their suffering and this may threaten their ministry.
God created us, breathed life into us, and purposed us for his glory. The grace and mercy he gives warrants our love and obedience. Jesus Christ endured an inconceivable persecution and death to pay for our sins. In response, we should boldly proclaim his greatness to all nations. Most Christian missionaries I know suffer...

Prayer and Spiritual Formation: How Does It Work?
Prayer is not a spiritual discipline that we use to reach a higher spiritual level; rather prayer is an unavoidable mandatory battlefield in the war of faith,
The Bible does not say: “Pray this way and you’ll make better progress.” The Bible says: “The fundamental question before you is, do you trust God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ no matter what?” If you trust Him, then you’ll pray. You won’t be able to help it. Because if you trust Him,... Continue Reading
Where Are The Men?
Where the men are in the families, in the churches, and in the nation?
The reason why humanity is in chaos and death today goes all the way back to Genesis when Adam failed to play the man. God said to him, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife… in pain you shall eat of [the ground] all the days of your life” (Gen. 3:17). Adam... Continue Reading
