Unspoken will release Follow Through, their second full album for Centricity Music, on August 26th.

Smith) and Mitch Dane (Jars of Clay, Bebo Norman).

Follow Through evidences a forward leap of artistic evolution from the last record, blending hip hop, soul, pop and folk influences to tell the story of the season of life the band members have found themselves in over the last couple of years.

Band members Chad Mattson, Jon Lowry and Mike Gomez co-wrote every song on the[…]

The leader of Britain's opposition Labour party, Jeremy Corbyn, speaks at the launch of a report into antisemitism within the Labour party.

The launch of a Labour Party report into antisemitism in the party has been overshadowed by fresh controversy after an MP was abused by a supporter of Jeremy Corbyn and the leader himself was taken to task for comparing Israel to ISIS.

The inquiry was launched in April following the suspension of MP Naz Shah and former London mayor Ken Livingstone over claims of antisemitic remarks.

However, Labour MP Ruth Smeeth joined the chorus of MPs urging Jeremy Corbyn to resign immediately after she was attacked at the launch of the report, alleging failed to intervene.

“I was verbally attacked by a Momentum activist and Jeremy Corbyn supporter who used traditional antisemitic slurs to attack me for being part of a 'media conspiracy',” she said in a statement.

“It is beyond belief that someone could come to the launch of a repor..

My husband and I have decided to talk to our son about porn before he starts kindergarten next year.

We may not use the word porn at first. But as we continue to teach him to respect his own body and the bodies of others, we need him to understand that there are images and videos out there that don’t honor the dignity of others and that looking at these pictures can harm him in serious ways.

If this seems a bit premature, consider the statistics on kids and porn. While some s..

Matthew 27:28-29, “The crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law” (NIV).

Introduction:
It’s interesting to note that the word “amazed” is found some 30+ times in the Gospels. Most of the time the word is used to describe the response of the masses to Jesus. “Amazed” is an amazing word with a lot of power and nuance.
Something interesting to do in your studies or devotions is pay..

Boris Johnson will not stand to be Conservative party leader.

After a morning of shock revelations, the former London major and champion of the campaign to leave the European Union, said was not the right person to lead the UK.

The move came after his Vote Leave colleague Michael Gove and home secretary Theresa May both announced they will run for leader.

Gove, the justice secretary, announced his surprise bid with a dig at Johnson who he said could not “provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead”. He had been expected to support Johnson's campaign after the pair were leading lights in bringing the UK out of the EU.

The shock announcement came as both Labour and Conservative parties headed for a summer in turmoil as a leadership race begins within both.

The justice secretary Michael Gove will run against Theresa May, Stephen Crabb, Liam Fox and Andrea Leadsom.

Home secretary Theresa May announced her leadership bid earlier o..

Is the BBC institutionally hostile to Christianity, only interested in knocking our faith and promoting other religions? It seems unlikely, on the face of it, but that's the charge leveled against it by a Christian group that's just presented a 12,000-signature petition to director-general Lord Hall.

Voice for Justice calls on him to “protect the UK's Christian heritage and reject current proposals to reduce and downgrade Christian programming in favour of increased coverage for Muslim, Hindu and Sikh faiths”. It accuses the BBC's head of religion and ethics, Aaqil Ahmed – a Muslim – of regularly commissioning documentaries “displaying clearly pro-Islamic bias, while calling into question fundamental tenets and teachings of Christianity”. Britain, it says, is a Christian country and so Christianity should be treated with respect and given more airtime than minority groups; and, “In particular, Islam should not be singled out for special interest and presen..
