What Now, America?

Most American evangelicals supported Donald Trump throughout his presidency. They didn’t always like his rhetoric, boastfulness, or occasional vindictiveness. In fact, they didn’t always like him. But they liked what he did. They liked how he treated Israel and the amazing results of his policies in the Middle East. They liked that he lowered taxes, removed absurd federal regulations, and they liked the economic growth that came because of those things. They liked how the President strengthened the military and

Anxiety in a Changing World

It seems as if the world today is constantly changing. This might cause us to be filled with anxiety unless we remember that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Ps. 46:1). Disturbing times should remind us we are only pilgrims on this earth. Our citizenship is in a heavenly kingdom that can never be shaken. The commotion of this current world is nothing unprecedented. I remember 1944 being a year of tremendous turmoil in

A Promise to the Persecutors

…from The Voice of the Martyrs President Oppressive governments would do well to tolerate the Bible in their lands, because we — the church, the members of the global body of Christ — will pay any price necessary to distribute them. In love and humility, but also in the full authority Of our Lord (Matthew 28:18-20), we make these promises to the persecutors: The more you seek to restrict access to Bibles, the more we will send: for every Bible

What Is Your Authority?

Nowhere does God’s Word state you have to believe is six literal days of creation or that the earth is just six-thousand years old to be saved. There are Christians who believe in millions of years and Christians who accept evolution. If they profess Christ as their Savior, and have a personal relationship with Him, we should not question their salvation. In fact, does the Bible state you must believe in any of these things to be saved? Jesus walked

Are People Born Gay?

Today, nothing is off-limits sexually because supposedly “we’re born this way.” It is this thinking that has driven scientists and researchers to earnestly search for a so-called “gay gene” that proves, in their view, that individuals are “born this way,” and therefore homosexuality is natural and simply cannot be helped. In a way, the I was born this way” argument isn’t wrong. According to God’s Words, we are all born into sin (Psalm 51:5; Romans 5:12). Everyone is born with

Is There A Climate Emergency?

Climate emergency directs our thoughts to physical climate change. We’re being told, with increasing frequency and alarmism, that climate change is going to destroy everything, including, perhaps, human life (and some claiming it could happen in just a few years). But is this hysteria justified? Since the 1960s, scientists and government leaders have been warning of catastrophic environmental failure, largely due to climate change. But their predictions don’t come true! Some of these failed apocalyptic scenarios include: In 1967, Stanford

The Importance of Conviction

Today we live in a society that is convinced there are no absolute moral truths. It not only considers the Bible outdated and irrelevant to contemporary problems but also sees each person as free to decide what is right. As a result, our culture is ungodly, immoral, violent, and self-centered. How are we as Christians supposed to live in such an environment? We need look no further than the example of a teenage boy named Daniel, who had the courage

Weekly World News Report – March 1, 2019

Recently, eight prominent members of Britain’s Labour Party resigned from their party. They did so in protest of the new rise of antisemitism within the party. Luciana Berger is one of the Members of Parliament (MP) who resigned. She wrote: “I cannot remain in a party that I have come to the sickening conclusion is institutionally anti-Semitic.” Other Labour members called her a “disruptive Zionist” who supported a “murdering government.” A well-known Labour leader, Margaret Tyson, called the Israelis, “…murdering

Climate Change Summit – A Moral crisis? Last week, 4,000 participants from 140 nations gathered in Dubai for the annual World Government Summit. The 2019 Summit focused on “climate change.” That’s the refurbished name for “global warming.” I suppose they felt they needed to refocus the name for the crisis when the winters started getting colder and the amount of arctic ice started increasing. One of the featured speakers was the actor, Harrison Ford. I’m not certain whether it’s his
