When You’re Sick of Saying It, They’ve Just Heard It

Last updated on: October 1, 2015 at 8:34 pm By Guest Contributor

by JD Greear I once heard a story about an old grandfather sitting lazily on the porch of his country home with his grandson, his six dogs lying underneath the porch. About a hundred yards across the field a rabbit darted out of a bush, stared back at the house for just a second, and then darted back into the undergrowth. One of the dogs perked up, let out a short bark, and took off across the field. Immediately, the... Read more

The criteria upon which any church should measure its success is not how many new names are added to the roll nor how much the budget is increased, but rather how many Christians are actively winning souls and training them to win the multitudes. Read more

The Real Theological Challenge of Evolution

Last updated on: September 16, 2015 at 8:57 am By Guest Contributor

by Ryan Patrick McLaughlin In the aftermath of scientific evidence concerning the age of our universe and the evolution of life on Earth, many theological conversations have focused on questions concerning the scientific and historical validity of the Genesis creation myths (especially Genesis 1) and the unique identity of humans. This focus is lamentable. Genesis 1 has a poetic tone which suggests the authors weren’t overly concerned about explaining scientific logistics of the cosmos or depicting its actual history. Indeed,... Read more

How to Balance “You” with “Us”

Last updated on: September 2, 2015 at 9:45 am By Guest Contributor

by Sylvia Smith What makes a marriage successful? Many people think about the obvious parts, finding common ground, and being physically and emotionally attracted to one another. But there are some less obvious aspects that should be taken into consideration when marrying your partner. It can be difficult to decide how much time the two of you should spend together and how much time you should spend apart. It can also be a challenge to maintain a sense of your... Read more

The Church Isn’t A Cruise Ship; It’s An Aircraft Carrier

Last updated on: August 20, 2015 at 10:53 am By Guest Contributor

by JD Greear Many people are bored in church. They are afflicted with a nagging sense that they ought to be doing something—that there is some meaningful mission they are supposed to be a part of. But they can’t quite get their mind around what that is, and so, in the meantime, they sit in church, try to pay attention, give their tithes, behave as best they can, and wonder if when they get to heaven they are going to...

Reckless or Faithful: A response to Kayla Mueller’s death

Last updated on: August 20, 2015 at 10:34 am By Guest Contributor

by Fran Schmidt A friend told me once that I am the bravest person she knows. In her estimation, it was brave to leave everything and everyone I had ever known to serve God as a missionary. I opened my life and my heart to the challenge and adventure of living in a developing country, to the vulnerability of speaking a second language and to managing the varying, new cultural cues. She felt I was brave for navigating the streets... Read more

Protect Your Devotions, They Could Transform Your Marriage

Last updated on: August 18, 2015 at 12:36 pm By Guest Contributor

by Wyatt Fisher There are many reasons Christians should practice regular devotions of Bible study and prayer. First, it’s an essential way to commune with God to cultivate a deeper relationship and knowledge of Him. Second, it’s time to confess your sins and receive strength and hope for any adversity you may be facing. Third, it could transform your marriage because it often cultivates the top two qualities needed for successful relationships, compassion and humility. The human heart tends... Read more

Is the Scientific Method Exclusive to Science?

Last updated on: August 13, 2015 at 8:24 am By Guest Contributor

by Istvan Kolossvary Arguably the most commonly cited criticism against religion, and for some reason especially against Christians is that science is based on verifiable facts whereas religion is based on unprovable faith. Jerry Coyne’s new book “Faith vs. Fact: Why Science and Religion Are Incompatible” recently featured in National Geographic andScience News continues the tradition of the new atheists originated in the works of their first evangelist Richard Dawkins and takes aim at religion. In this blog post I... Read more
