Theological Extremism In A Secular Age

The real world is a world in which theology matters, and a world in which an empty secular worldview is no match for an Islamic theology set on conquest

Written by Albert Mohler | Tuesday, January 13, 2015

“From a Christian worldview perspective there are a couple of very crucial issues for us to consider. First is the issue of blasphemy. Islam considers blasphemy a capital crime and defines blasphemy as an insult to the Quran, to Islam, and most specifically and personally, to the prophet Mohammed. Christianity also has a concern about... Continue Reading

Boko Haram May Have Just Killed 2,000 People: ‘Killing Went On And On’

A senior government official: Boko Haram killed more than 2,000 people which, if true, would mean the group equaled its total kill count last year in one attack

Written by Terrence McCoy | Monday, January 12, 2015

A video recently emerged, Genocide Watch report, that shows gunmen shooting civilians as they lay face down in a dormitory. A local leader explains they are “infidels,” even though he admits they’re Muslim: “We have made sure the floor of this hall is turned red with blood, and this is how it is going to...

Persecution Of Christians Reached Historic Levels In 2014. Will 2015 Be Worse?

More Christians worldwide live in fear for their lives than at any time in the modern era

Written by Jonathan Merritt | Sunday, January 11, 2015

Open Doors USA released its annual World Watch List on Wednesday (Jan. 7): Christian persecution reached historic levels in 2014, with approximately 100 million Christians around the world facing possible dire consequences for merely practicing their religion, according to the report. If current trends persist, many believe 2015 could be even worse.   (RNS) From... Continue Reading

I Am Not Charlie Hebdo

There are a lot of people quick to lionize those who offend Islamist terrorists in France, but are less tolerant toward those who offend their own views at home

Written by David Brooks | Saturday, January 10, 2015

“Americans may laud Charlie Hebdo for being brave enough to publish cartoons ridiculing the Prophet Muhammad, but, if Ayaan Hirsi Ali is invited to campus, there are often calls to deny her a podium. So this might be a teachable moment. As we are mortified by the slaughter of those writers and editors in Paris,... Continue Reading

China To List Legal Places Of Worship, ‘Root Out’ Illegal

Government defends its religious policy as suitable for "reasonable practitioners"

Written by Pete Sweeney | Saturday, January 10, 2015

“Despite the rules, unsanctioned religious movements, which the authorities call cults, have proliferated in recent years, and the government has grown increasingly active in trying to discourage their growth. A court jailed 21 members of banned religious group Quannengshen and executed two this year after members were accused of murdering a woman.”   China is... Continue Reading

A Reformed Approach To Racial Reconciliation

Anthony Bradley talks about God’s sovereignty and how we can demonstrate church unity

Written by Warren Colesmith | Saturday, January 10, 2015

“Listening well first and letting minorities lead those conversations in terms of what needs to be done is something that for many of us hasn’t been done enough. Often, whites come in with agendas. They come in with the way in which they believe the conversation should progress. What we encourage our brothers and sisters... Continue Reading

Atlanta Fire Chief Fired Over Pro-Family Book

Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran has been terminated following a city investigation into a book he wrote that calls homosexual behavior immoral.

Written by David Roach | Thursday, January 8, 2015

Cochran’s 162-page self-published book, “Who Told You That You Are Naked?” seeks to help Christian men overcome feelings of guilt and condemnation over past sins. It discusses homosexuality for less than half a page, including a mention of uncleanness as the “opposite of purity; including sodomy, homosexuality, lesbianism, pederasty, bestiality, and all other forms of...

Gay Marriage Prompts Call for Clergy to Shun Civil Ceremonies

The state can see marriage as nothing more than a contract between two people; the church can continue to see marriage as biblically defined

Written by Mark Oppenheimer | Thursday, January 8, 2015

The authors promise to “ask couples to seek civil marriage separately from their church-related vows and blessings.” And they “will preside only at those weddings that seek to establish a Christian marriage in accord with the principles articulated and lived out from the beginning of the church’s life.” In practice, they ask couples to be...

To Defend The Disposable

At the root of today’s culture-war issues—abortion and euthanasia, the marriage debate, the LGBT insurgency—are competing and irreconcilable ideas of the human person.

Written by George Weigel | Thursday, January 8, 2015

For what Dr. Gruber called “positive selection” is simply a euphemism for eugenics: the deliberate elimination of those parts of the population most likely to have difficulty coping with our post-industrial, information-driven society. That a lot of secular progressives are fierce supporters of the abortion license because they’re eugenicists at heart shouldn’t come as a... Continue Reading

As Christianity Exits Europe, ‘Criminal Muslims’ Fill Void With Rabid Violence

Throughout Europe, tens of thousands of churches have been torn down, sold and repurposed due to an 80-90 percent drop in attendance

Written by Bethany Blankley | Tuesday, January 6, 2015

Sadly, however, within one generation of churches closing throughout Europe, empty pulpits have significantly contributed to the loss of fellowship and traditional continuity communities previously enjoyed. The rise of secularism, multiculturalism, and failed immigration policies created the perfect storm for crime in epic proportions to plague Europe.   History provides ample evidence of ways in which the local church...
