Romans 1:30 – The Verse That Made Me a Calvinist

0 Comment

You’ve heard it said “you are where you come from”, and I’m convinced that environmental influences of your youth, in part, make you who you are today. Eli and Peyton Manning grew up their whole lives around football. It’s no wonder, then, they each became Super Bowl MVPs. It’s what they knew. So what does that say for a kid who grew up in a large church, under the preaching of published theologians and seminary professors in the reformed tradition, while being guided at home by a father who tau..

0 Comment

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Alabama Court of the Judiciary (COJ), led by a chief judge who also serves as an elder in his church, has declared Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore guilty of all six charges of ethics violations surrounding allegations that he ordered judges in the state not to issue same-sex “marriage” licenses and has been suspended for the rest of his term without pay.

The COJ said in its decision on Friday that it did not agree that Moore’s Jan. 6 memo was “merely to provide a ..

0 Comment

Republican US presidential nominee Donald Trump greets Democratic US presidential nominee Hillary Clinton during their first presidential debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, on Sept. 26, 2016.

It seems like Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is the popular choice among the faith community, especially since he stands against abortion and has promised to champion religious liberty.

But Jonathon Von Maren writes for Life Site News that a Christian vote for Trump ..

0 Comment

Is divorce helping undermine religion?

The answer appears to be “yes” based from a new study showing that children raised by divorced parents are more likely to shun religion than those raised by married parents.

The survey, conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) from July 27 and Aug. 9, shows that 35 percent of Americans raised by divorced parents say they are “religiously unaffiliated,” as opposed to only 23 percent who were raised by married parents, The Washi..

Most Americans Still Identify Themselves As Christians But Are Confused On Details Of Their Faith, Says Study

0 Comment

Worshippers fill the 7,000-seat Willow Creek Community church during a Sunday service in South Barrington, Illinois.

It's clear: Most Americans still consider themselves Christians.

But some things are not so clear: They have confusing, contradictory and even incompatible beliefs regarding their faith.

These findings came out from a recent online survey conducted by the evangelical research firm LifeWay Research and sponsored by the Orlando-based Ligonier Ministries, according to ..

He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
Job 23:10

Morning
He knows the way that I take;
when He has tested me,
I shall come forth as gold.

He knows our frame. § He does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.

The solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but..

19 State Attorneys General Back School District’s Refusal to Allow Girl in Boys’ Restroom

0 Comment

WASHINGTON — 19 state attorneys general have signed a joint legal brief backing a Virginia school district’s appeal of a ruling requiring that it allow a female student who identifies as male to use the boys’ restroom.

“The attorneys general are again stepping forward to protect children by asking the United States Supreme Court to allow school districts to avoid placing young children of opposite sex in the same bathroom or locker room,” South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley said in a st..

Deepwater Horizon: Mark Wahlberg’s New Film Draws A Line Between Blind Faith And Christian Hope

0 Comment

It's mercifully difficult to spoil a film based on a true story, especially one from recent history. So let me begin at the end of Deepwater Horizon, the Mark Wahlberg-fronted, $150m blockbuster: it contains one of the most profound moments of prayer ever portrayed on the big screen. And what's interesting considering the disaster-movie context is that this doesn't take place as the protagonists beg for divine mercy, but as the survivors mourn their dead.

Thirty or more oil rigge..

God And The Presidency: Ronald Reagan’s Fight For Freedom

0 Comment

Ronald Reagan: hero of the faith?

Where was God in the Presidential debate? So asked Christian Today this week, and indeed, although God and faith have received some mention from both Trump and Clinton, religious dialogue has played almost no role in the presidential election.

For some this may seem insiginificant, and—since the US is technically a secular county—a good thing. But despite the Constitution's official separation of church and state, for better or for worse God has hi..
