The events of September 11, 2001, brought ISLAM to the attention of the nations in a new way. Academic interest in a people with a different lifestyle began to give way to fascination with a religious group who seemed prepared to sacrifice their very sons and daughters in suicidal missions to attain political ends. Some dismissed the movement as a violent religion, focused on attaining world dominion whatever the cost, Muslims and non-Muslims increasingly eyed each other with suspicion in the political arena, particularly as tensions increased in the Middle East. Others argue that Muslims ...

This is a story of a God who relentlessly pursues. This is a story that reveals what the church does not often do well regarding sexual sin or identity struggles. More importantly, it’s a story of how the church can be far better—equipped to live in love and truth through strength and compassion; inviting broken people into genuine and growing relationships with Jesus and His authentic community. The church can become a vibrant, well-prepared “teaching hospital” for all the issues and brokenness embraced today by hurting people craving belonging and purpose–love and meaning.

The church in America is getting smaller and smaller. Each year average church attendance decreases, while the number of Americans who identify as no religious affiliation increases. Even traditionally Christian areas, such as the Bible Belt, are seeing the same trends as the rest of the nation. America is not alone in experiencing these trends. Western Europe, once a strong Christian continent, is also going the same way. What is the cause of the decline of Christianity in America as well as Western Europe?

Propaganda Techniques are a powerful method to attack the Christian faith, but most Christians are totally ignorant about it. Using this method, even a biblically ignorant person can easily attack the Christian faith in a powerful manner. This is similar to the "throws" in judo where a weak and skinny person can easily throw a very strong and heavy opponent. The secret is in the "techniques" that he has taken time to master. "Techniques" of attack can be repelled only if you know how to do it. Propaganda techniques against the Christian faith can be repelled only if you know how they work ...

THIS Sermon is published not simply in deference to the request of friends who heard it,—of one especially whose wish came with authority,—hut also because, so sanctioned, it may possibly help to draw attention to the real issue in the great controversy between the Catholic Church in its several branches on the one side, and the sects and schools, Ultra-Protestant or Rationalistic, on the other. That issue I take to be, Whether, believe it or not as men please, their standing as Christians be not indeed “on holy ground;” whether we be not indeed “under the cloud,” separated from...

Peter DeHaan, a lifelong student of the Bible, does just that in THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH’S LGBTQ FAILURE. He won’t be politically correct, but he will be Biblically correct. And he certainly isn’t afraid to speak hard truths even if it makes people uncomfortable. His goal is to see Christians like you push past the status quo and...

“AND can there be any greater evil than discord and distraction and plurality where unity ought to reign? or any greater good than the bond of unity?” “There cannot.” “And there is unity where there is community of pleasures and pains — where all the citizens are glad or sorry on the same occasions?” “No doubt.” “Yes; and where there is no common but only private feeling, that disorganizes a state — when you have one-half of the world triumphing and the other sorrowing at the same events happening to the city and the citizens?” “Certainly.” “Such differences ...
