Last updated on: March 3, 2020 at 1:04 pm By Bethany Blankley

Qi Ming, a Chinese national, told the human rights organization Open Doors that the Chinese communist regime engaged in surveillance of him and church members, and often harassed them. When ministry leaders refused the government’s request to install surveillance cameras inside the sanctuary of his church, Chinese authorities raided their worship service, Open Doors reports. “More than 100 were arrested,” Qi Ming told the organization. “From church raids, to the arrests of pastors, to the restriction of Bibles, to the...

Who is Jesus?

Last updated on: February 25, 2020 at 2:09 pm By Bethany Blankley

We learn who Jesus is from the Bible. In it we learn that Jesus claimed to be God and the Son of God, which to many may sound contradictory and confusing. Jesus claimed that He and his Father are one. Jesus claimed that he is the truth, the resurrection, and the life. Jesus claimed that it is only through him that anyone can know God. Jesus claimed that he alone offers eternal life. Numerous eyewitnesses testified to hearing the claims Jesus made... Read more

Who is a Christian and how can you tell?

Last updated on: February 25, 2020 at 2:08 pm By Bethany Blankley

A Christian is one who has repentant faith in Jesus Christ as his or her Lord and Savior. Christians are given new life (Jesus says they are born again) and their purpose is to glorify God. The word Christian comes from the Greek word, Christos, meaning Christ, and refers to a follower of Christ. The word “Christian” is mentioned three times in the New Testament to describe new believers (Acts 11:26; 26:28 and 1 Pet. 4:16). Christianity comes from the... Read more

Apostasy: U.S. Episcopal diocese first lesbian bishop

Last updated on: February 25, 2020 at 2:11 pm By Bethany Blankley

The first openly “lesbian bishop” has been “consecrated” by the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan in February 2020. Her position is being touted as one who “will not lead to further large-scale departures from the denomination.” Bonnie A. Perry, the eleventh bishop of the diocese, was elected by the Special Electing Convention in Detroit last year; she officially took on the role this month. In 2003, the Episcopal Church consecrated its first openly homosexual bishop in its history, Rev. Gene Robinson in New... Read more

Denomination and location: nondenominational, Atlanta I was recently made aware of a sermon series about “the glory of God in the human body,” which was given several years ago by a man who leads a large following of Christians.

What does it mean to be content?

Last updated on: February 4, 2020 at 3:50 pm By Bethany Blankley

One of the interesting things about the English language is that many of its words are derived from Latin and often have more than one meaning. The initial, and majority, of search results online for the word “content” refer to ideas communicated through writing, marketing, or information. Content is key to understanding any piece of information. It can be misleading, inaccurate, destructive and deceptive. It can also be helpful, instructive, and truthful. Content is used as the basis for knowledge,... Read more
