The Contentment Cycle

Last updated on: December 29, 2020 at 3:50 pm By Guest Contributor

The two of us are long time friends who chat regularly. In recent months, our conversations have focused on what it means to be content during this season of isolation and restriction. Over the course of our lives, contentment has often flowed easily. We have both been fortunate to have loving families, deep friendships, fruitful ministries, and adventures galore. But at other times, contentment has proven to be frustratingly elusive. Almost nigh impossible. Besides the general aches and pains of... Read more

Pastor Steven Furtick and Evangelical Heresy: Is Almost True Good Enough For The Gospel?

Last updated on: September 9, 2020 at 6:39 pm By Guest Contributor

I read recently an article from Life Way Research that said we now live in a day and age in the United States where one-third of all evangelical Christians do not believe Jesus is God. That is staggering to consider! Especially since Jesus Himself said in the Bible. John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, the life, no one comes to the Father except by me. Peter declared in John 6:66, “…where else can we go (Jesus) for you... Read more

My Liberty University: Dealing With a New Low in Moral Failure

Last updated on: September 2, 2020 at 9:43 am By Guest Contributor

We now pay millions to Christian leaders who have fallen morally but refuse to admit they’re wrong. We are sadly sinking to a new low. I am a 1993 Pastoral Major graduate of Liberty University. I attended Liberty with many of my pastor friends in the early 1990’s. I met my wife there and we have been in full-time ministry for the past 23 ½ years at Vanguard Church in Colorado Springs with the Southern Baptist Convention. It has been... Read more

The Surprising Gift of Solitude

Last updated on: July 17, 2020 at 1:45 pm By Philip Yancey

For me, one scene captures the manifold tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic. A friend named Dan was already suffering from Lewy body dementia, a brain disorder that affects thinking and reasoning as well as muscle control. Once a college football hero, now Dan could no longer negotiate steps or even figure out how to sit in a chair. After several years of loving care, his wife reluctantly had to move him into a memory care facility, which she visited every... Read more

Our Invisible Crisis: Why the Hardest Hit By Covid-19 Are Ignored, and How the Church Can Respond

Last updated on: May 28, 2020 at 9:05 pm By Guest Contributor

The most devastating effects of the coronavirus in America has occurred, and is occurring, amongst those that are the most vulnerable and most invisible in our society: nursing home residents. It is imperative for churches to take up the cause of these individuals and begin to work with governments and institutions to provide for the physical, mental, and spiritual health of nursing home residents and staff. It appears on the surface to be an oddity: why has so little attention... Read more

Preparing to Die is the Best Way to Live

Last updated on: May 11, 2020 at 4:01 pm By Guest Contributor

The street artist Banksy has unveiled new artwork that captures the ethos of this moment. He depicts a child playing with a nurse doll wearing a face mask and cape. Figures of Batman and Superman lie in a wastebasket on the floor. The artist donated his work to the University Hospital Southampton in the UK. Healthcare workers are our new superheroes. Researchers seeking therapies and vaccines for COVID-19 are our harbingers of hope. As the coronavirus pandemic continues, no one... Read more

Praying All the Way to the Bank

Last updated on: May 6, 2020 at 10:40 am By Philip Yancey

As the statistics on illness and death due to COVID-19 keep rising, the economic statistics keep falling. In March the stock market lost more than $11 trillion in value, and has been yo-yoing ever since. While the more fortunate are mourning their dwindling retirement plans, the truly desperate have joined the 30 million Americans applying for unemployment benefits. How will they pay the rent or feed their families? While watching the news one day, I flashed back to another time... Read more

Living in Quarantine: 4 Lessons

Last updated on: April 2, 2020 at 5:16 pm By Guest Contributor

None of us ever expects to be quarantined. I certainly didn’t. But following a bone marrow transplant in 2015, I was secluded for four months in hospital housing. Except for my wife, no visitors were allowed. Even after moving home, I remained in quasi-isolation for another eight months. Why? Because my immune system was susceptible to germs and viruses. With this personal history, what advice can I give to those who are being quarantined by the coronavirus today? Or to... Read more

Yes, Martin Luther King Jr. Was Flawed

Last updated on: January 22, 2020 at 12:05 pm By Guest Contributor

Just over a year ago I wrote an article titled, Donald Trump is No Saint. The article was in response to a letter sent to me. The premise of the letter was that since God has used “very flawed” persons throughout the Bible, perhaps, he could use such today (i.e., Trump). I responded by noting that “very flawed” was not a proper designation for Noah, Moses, and Paul (some of the persons the letter characterized as used by God and... Read more
