Texas Judge Says Christian Beliefs Prevent Her from Conducting Same-Sex Weddings

“I have no desire to offend anybody but the last person I want to offend is God.”

Written by Carol Kuruvilla | Friday, January 3, 2020

The judge said that as long as the other justice of the peace is available to perform same-sex weddings, she believes she is not violating queer couples’ constitutional rights and that she deserves a “religious exemption” because of her faith.   A Texas judge is standing her ground after being reprimanded by a state commission...

Ayn Rand on Christian Egoism: Part 1

She concluded that Christianity did promote a similar sort of egoism to her own.

Written by Jacob Brunton | Thursday, January 2, 2020

Surely, many will likely object that as an avowed atheist, Rand had no business commenting on, or presuming to understand, the foundational morality of Christianity; that she is simply mistaken about this idea of individualism and egoism being an integral part of Christ’s teaching. And so, the proper question to ask here is: is she... Continue Reading

A Call to Pray for Wang Yi, Pastor of Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu, China, Sentenced to Nine Years in Prison

On December 26, 2019, Pastor Yi was secretly tried at the Chengdu Intermediate People’s Court and sentenced to 9 years in prison. Here is a letter from his church.

Written by Early Rain Covenant Church | Tuesday, December 31, 2019

Pastor Wang Yi did not commit any crime. The authorities’ charges of “inciting to subvert state power” and “illegal business operations” are part of the unjust persecutions against the Chinese house church. Regardless of the sentence the authorities pronounce against him, Pastor Wang Yi is the senior pastor of this church and a faithful messenger... Continue Reading

George Whitefield’s Grave

A Meditation on The Labor of Ministry

Written by Jared C. Wilson | Monday, December 30, 2019

How he came to be placed in a crypt beneath the sanctuary of the Old South Church is a story well-told and easily found elsewhere. It’s the scene of the crypt itself I want to reflect on, as it has never ceased to entertain my pastoral imagination when I think of it.   The church... Continue Reading

A Day of Rest or a Day of Stress?

The purpose of the Lord's Day

Written by Jenny-Lyn de Klerk | Sunday, December 29, 2019

For Owen, partaking of God’s rest includes praising him for his work and aligning one’s work with his, which brings satisfaction and enjoyment. The people who partake in this rest are those who already have faith, yet they need to be “encouraged unto believing.”[13] Owen explains, true faith is not just hearing the “word of...

ISIS decapitates 10 Christian captives in Nigeria as revenge for Baghdadi death

In the video, ISIS soldiers wearing beige uniforms and black masks are lined up behind the Christian men. One captive in the middle is shot while the other 10 are pushed to the ground and beheaded. Not a lot of details were given about the victims other than they were male, Christian and “captured in... Continue Reading

Charles Darwin’s Letter to Billy Graham

Science cannot explain the fullness of our humanity. We should be skeptical of claims that it can.

Written by Dan DeWitt | Saturday, December 28, 2019

This year marks the 160th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s Origin of the Species. Darwin’s theories wield massive historic and contemporary influence. Yet, there is much about the human experience that a Darwinian view of life cannot explain. Nonetheless, many see this scientific outlook as offering a total worldview. That’s why Graham described such... Continue Reading

Christianity Today Editor Reveals The Point Trump ‘Crossed The Line’ For Him

Mark Galli says it’s strange that people who “take the teachings of Jesus Christ seriously” can’t see that Trump’s character is “deeply concerning.”

Written by Josephine Harvey | Tuesday, December 24, 2019

Galli, who also called for Trump to be removed from office, faced backlash from multiple evangelical leaders, including Franklin Graham ― the son of American evangelist Billy Graham who founded Christianity Today ― but he doubled down on his opinion in a “Face The Nation” appearance on Sunday.   Christianity Today editor-in-chief Mark Galli said...

Lord’s Day Meditation: “Behold, I Have Graven Thee upon the Palms of My Hands”

Heaven and earth may well be astonished that rebels should obtain so great a nearness to the heart of infinite love as to be written upon the palms of his hands.

Written by C.H. Spurgeon | Sunday, December 22, 2019

O unbelief, how strange a marvel thou art! We know not which most to wonder at, the faithfulness of God or the unbelief of his people. He keeps his promise a thousand times, and yet the next trial makes us doubt him. He never faileth; he is never a dry well; he is never as... Continue Reading
