The 3 Mistakes The Church Is Making On Homosexuality

Last updated on: January 27, 2016 at 3:21 pm By Guest Contributor

by Landon Schott God loves gay people. God loves people. God loves us so much, He sent His son to die on the cross for us so that we could be restored to relationship with Him. The Bible teaches us God dislikes some behaviors and hates others, but that He loves people. He loves you! I’ve recently wrote a book entitled, Gay Awareness, because I want people to be aware of God’s heart towards them, homosexuality and those who experience... Read more

Healthy Spiritual Doubting: Reflections on “Risen”

Last updated on: March 14, 2016 at 9:44 pm By Guest Contributor

Imagine the consequences of doubting your spouse’s intentions. Your spouse repeatedly comes home late from the office or spends more nights out with friends and coworkers than at home. As suspicion creeps in, you have the choice either to believe their stories and honor their integrity or to let doubt take root—a doubt that eventually grows into distrust and bitterness, leading to marital problems. We’re taught that any kind of doubt only leads to bigger issues. And in the church,... Read more

Fasting and Maturation

Last updated on: February 9, 2016 at 10:23 am By Guest Contributor

by Peter Leithart The Mosaic liturgical calendar prescribes only one fast, the day of atonement, when Israel was commanded to “humble your souls” (Leviticus 16:29; 23:27, 29, 32; the verb is sometimes translated as “afflict”). By way of contrast, Israel celebrated two week-long festivals, a handful one-day festivals, and a weekly Sabbath, when they were to eat, drink, and rejoice in Yahweh’s good gifts. This seems to imply that fasting plays little or no role in Israel’s religious life, but... Read more

Do Near Death Experiences Reveal the Heaven of the Bible?

Last updated on: February 1, 2016 at 7:10 pm By Guest Contributor

by John Burke In 1979, my father was dying of cancer. I was an agnostic when I noticed a book on his nightstand, Life After Life. The book coined the term “near-death experience” (NDE). I read it that night and realized there’s evidence that God does exist. That opened me up to studying the Bible and coming to faith. Since that time, I went from a career in engineering to studying at seminary and starting a church. I have also... Read more

Dismantling Your Heart Idols

Last updated on: January 27, 2016 at 2:12 pm By Guest Contributor

by JD Greear Every heart has a throne. And on that throne sits something (or, perhaps, someone). Every day, without fail, each of us comes to that throne to present ourselves as obedient slaves. Most contemporary people scoff at this. “Slave? I’m not a slave to anyone! I’m free, and I do whatever I want.” To which the Apostle Paul would calmly respond, “Oh, really?” Or, to use his words: Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone... Read more

The Most Important Verse in the Bible

Last updated on: January 27, 2016 at 2:03 pm By Guest Contributor

by JD Greear When I was in seminary, one of my professors said that Romans 4:5 was, in his estimation, the most important verse in the whole Bible. That’s a bold claim, but I’m inclined to agree with him. Because if you get Romans 4:5, you get the gospel. But if you don’t grasp what Paul is saying, chances are you’ve wrapped Christian language around a system of works. It all hinges on one word: credited. “To the one who... Read more

Preaching that Impacts Culture

Last updated on: January 18, 2016 at 10:27 am By Guest Contributor

The most impactful sermon is not the one developed solely in the cloistered walls of the preacher’s study. But one that captures the heartbeat of God for the sufferer birthed through the preacher’s time in prayer, focused study of the Bible, and clear thinking that surfaced from extensive analysis of the problem.

Wheaton, John Hagee, and Judaism

Last updated on: December 22, 2015 at 11:57 am By Bart Gingerich

There may seem to be more commonality between Judaism and Christianity in the popular imagination. Nevertheless, exclusivity or inclusivity of one faith has direct bearing on others. How evangelicals perceive Islam and God defines how evangelicals should also perceive Judaism and God. Read more
