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?

We are standing at a crossroads. Artificial Intelligence is no longer on the horizon—it’s here, shaping how we pray, connect, learn, and lead in the church. From Bible apps that recommend reading plans to generative AI tools composing worship music or sermons, technology is reshaping the contours of Christian life and ministry faster than most can process. But how should the Spirit-filled church respond? Divine Intelligence: The Spirit-Filled Church and AI’s Next Five Years is a prophetic and practical guide for pastors, worship leaders, church planters, and everyday believers ...

What if the supernatural power of the early church wasn’t the exception, but the blueprint? Signs, Wonders and Warfare is a bold, Spirit-filled call to recover the apostolic model of Christianity found in the book of Acts. In an age of powerless religion, this book challenges believers to break free from passive faith and step into God’s original design—a church marked by miracles, prophetic insight, and victorious spiritual warfare. Drawing from the explosive stories of Acts and the apostolic structure of Ephesians, this book reveals how the early believers walked in divine authority...

Most people love hearing stories, but in addition to being a fun activity, storytelling is also thought of as an educational tool that can promote moral reasoning and honesty. From fictional tales of human and animal characters to true life motivational narratives of historical figures, these stories have subtly molded young people’s characters and guided them in making positive choices in life. Christian moral stories interest children in a special way and propel them to listen and take the intended messages to heart. Parents and instructors who use moral stories to teach their kids ...

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 ...

Christianity is the most enduring and influential legacy of the ancient world, and its emergence the single most transformative development in Western history. Even the increasing number in the West today who have abandoned the faith of their forebears, and dismiss all religion as pointless superstition, remain recognisably its heirs. Seen close-up, the division between a sceptic and a believer may seem unbridgeable.

CAUGHT IN AN EMOTIONAL WEB Does your friend have a verifiable brain tumor . . . or hallucinations of little pink spiders? Empathy demands that you accept “his truth” and feel his distress as keenly as he does. And get as stuck as he is in his delusions. Douglas Wilson examines the empathy trap and calls us to anchor our love for our neighbor in objective truth. Only then can we remain free from the web ourseives and offer effective help to others who are caught. It’s time to shine the light of the gospel into the cobwebby corners of our culture and send the spiders scurrying.

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 228 From 1972 to 2014 Sr Edmée Kingsmill SLG published a number of articles in the Fairacres Chronicle, the Journal of the Sisters of the Love of God at Fairacres, that were offshoots of her doctoral research on the Song of Songs, or of her excursions into biblical Hebrew.

Each essay is carefully crafted to ...

Throughout the modern era, Galileo Galilei has been presented as a victim of cruel torture of conscience, theological narrow-mindedness, and ecclesiastical harassment typical of a dark, closed-minded Church. Frequently portrayed as such in theaters due to prevailing political ideologies, the story of Galileo points to the long-held tension between “science and faith,” “technology and ethics,” and “progress and the Church.” The story of the real Galileo, however, which has not been told—until now—is sure to rock the established narrative.

What if we're missing something? The New Testament describes a vibrant church--empowered by the Holy Spirit with supernatural gifts of manifestation, service, and leadership--which turned the known world upside down within three generations. But as the freedom of the operation of the Holy Spirit waned and post-apostolic leaders consolidated power within hierarchical systems, that missional momentum was truncated.

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 smoke clears. The world watches. A name is announced. A man steps forward and the earth’s gaze falls upon him. We have a Pope! And his name is Leo XIV. But who is this 266th successor to St. Peter? What is the former Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost’s vision for the Church, and what impact will his papacy have on Catholics and on the world? Veteran Catholic journalist and historian Matthew Bunson offers the first authoritative portrait of the new Holy Father.

“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 ...

Like Paul’s other early churches, Thessalonica experienced great societal pressure to conform to the surrounding culture. But amid persecution, the Thessalonians remained faithful to their call to holiness as they patiently awaited Jesus’s return.

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...

In a world as divisive as ours, can Christians ever find middle ground on LGBTQ+ issues? Perhaps, if you’re willing to marry Biblical truths with grace and love in a nonjudgmental way that the extremes on both sides of the aisles have failed to do in the past. 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...
