The Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the Reality of the Gospel

25/03/2016 08/09/2016 Albert Mohler Blog

The Church does not have mere permission to celebrate the Resurrection, it has a mandate to proclaim the truth that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. The pattern of the Christian year is an exercise of the Church’s discipline. The annual celebrations of Christmas and Resurrection Day force the Church to ponder again the truths of Christ’s incarnation and resurrection. Christians understand that every Lord’s Day is Resurrection Day, but this Sunday is the festival which draws all Christians face to face with the empty tomb and the truth of the resurrected Lord. Resurrection Sunday is the central event in the church year–the climax of worship, expectation, and celebration. This celebration is also an acid test of the Church’s faithfulness and conviction. The secular world has done its best to make a mess of Christmas, but it has largely ignored our celebration of t..

Zac Goldsmith: ‘My number one priority is to make London safe from terror’

25/03/2016 22/09/2016 Church & Ministries

Zac Goldsmith has pledged that his "number one" task if elected Mayor of London is to make the capital safe from terror. The Conservative candidate told Christian Today he is worried about the possibility of another attack. He remembers clearly where he was on 7/7 - in hospital with a family member and had been up all night. "That was the first time in my life where I've had a profound fear for this city. I've never felt anything like it before or since." Speaking on Good..

Disney Demands Georgia Let Go of Religious Freedom

24/03/2016 22/09/2016 Life & Society

We should have seen this coming. After all it was a Disney / Pixar film that captured the mantra of the secular Progressives: “We scare because we care.” Just as we describe in You Will Be Made to Care, Disney has joined the NFL and other compassionate bullies to try to shut down even stripped-down religious freedom protection in Georgia under the auspices of opposing discrimination. They are threatening to take their Marvel movie-making magic somewhere else if Georgia passes HB 757 to protect r..

Republican Convention Rules: It Takes a Majority

22/03/2016 22/09/2016 Life & Society

It takes a majority. It takes a majority of delegates to win the Republican nomination for President. It is not complicated. It is not new. These rules have been basically the same since the founding of the Party. A majority of the delegates to the convention must vote for a candidate if he or she is to become the Party’s nominee. Yet Trump and his fans are demanding the rules be changed to accommodate him. They are demanding that the Establishment (whatever that is anymore) rip up the rules and..

What Do We Do to Jesus?

22/03/2016 06/07/2016 Hope

Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. "Hail, king of the Jews!" they said. They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him (Matthew 27:27-31). The soldiers' assignment was simple. Take the Nazarene to the hill and kill him. But they wanted to have some fun first. Strong, armed soldiers circled an exhausted, nearly dead, Galilean carpenter and beat up on him. The beating was commanded. The crucifixion was ordered. But the spitting? Spitting isn't intended to hurt the body — it can't. Spitting is intended to degrade the soul, and it does. Ever ..

[Audio] How Pastors Can Preach about Religious Freedom

21/03/2016 22/09/2016 Life & Society

My friend Dr. McKay Caston (who happens to also be my pastor) preached a sermon recently that demonstrates how pastors can and should preach about religious freedom. It is fine example of speaking the truth in love and preparing a congregation for the rising tide of persecution in America. McKay has agreed to let me post the audio here and share his sermon notes below. You can follow his blog here. I encourage you to share them with pastors and church leaders and prayerfully encourage them to en..

Franklin Graham says Easter a ‘fantastic opportunity’ for Christians to show their compassion to Louisiana flood victims

19/03/2016 22/09/2016 Church & Ministries

Rev. Franklin Graham is looking for more volunteers to help victims of the recent flooding in Louisiana. Reverend Franklin Graham is overwhelmed by the destruction caused by the recent flooding in Louisiana, but he is grateful that Easter is drawing near because it would encourage his Christian brothers and sisters to lend a helping hand to those in need. "The devastation is unreal. The news coverage has for the most part ended, but parts of Louisiana are standing under massive amounts o..

18/03/2016 22/09/2016 Church & Ministries

A remote country church England's remote and crumbling rural churches could be saved by being turned into hostels for country walkers to use for overnight stays.

The wide-ranging review, announced in the Budget, will be the first of its kind ever done. It is intended to see if there is any way of making England's thousands of buildings, many Gr..

Five Ways to Retire With Less Money

18/03/2016 22/09/2016 Finance

What if you are one of the many millions of people who have little chance of having a million dollar retirement portfolio by the time you reach 65? Should you abandon the idea of retirement completely and plan on working until you die? Hardly. The reality is that most people will enter retirement with something much less than $1 million. The ability to retire is often more dependent upon factors beyond your retirement portfolio. Here are some ways to enable you to eventually have some form of retirement, even if you will never amass a retirement fortune. Cut your living expensesA major reason why retirement portfolios need to be so large today is the high standards of living we’ve all become accustomed to. You can cut down on the amount of money that you’ll need in retirement by cutting back on your living expenses now. This will accomplish two positive goals. First, it will free up more money now so that you can invest it either in your retirement portfolio or in other income producin..
