Christians and Brexit: Did God command the UK to leave the EU?

Christians overwhelmingly voted in favour of leaving the European Union last Thursday.

Polling from Lord Ashcroft showed that nearly six in ten of those who identified as Christian voted for Brexit. This is significantly higher than the 52 per cent who voted for Brexit across the nation. It is particularly stark when compared to Muslim and Hindu voters, seven in 10 of whom voted to remain.

Brexit campaigners tried to invoke the Bible to convince voters to leave

There are a whole host of reasons why this might be.

It may correlate with ethnicity and have little to do with faith. Although numbers have fallen, 93 per cent of Christians in the UK are white. By contrast two-thirds of British Muslims are from an Asian background. And Lord Ashcroft's poll showed that 67 per cent of Asians and 73 per cent of black people voted to remain compared to 47 per cent of white people.

Or it may correlate with age. The 2011 census showed that one in five self-identifying..

Americans who don’t go to church are happy to talk about religion and often think about the meaning of life. They’re open to taking part in community service events hosted at a church or going to a church concert.

But only about a third say they’d go to a worship service, if invited by a friend. Few think about what happens after they die.

Those are among the findings ..

Billy Graham tells Christians to be grateful for the jobs they have: ‘Work has dignity in the eyes of God’

Billy Graham says, 'Like a deadly virus, sin now corrupts everything we do, including our work.'

In Celebration of Evangelical Feminism on International Women’s Day

March 8, 2016

…For I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed… 2 Timothy 1:12

Today, March 8th, is International Women’s Day. I’m using it as an opportunity to think about what it means to be an evangelical woman in today’s world.

An evangelical woman is one who believes in the evangel—the Gospel—the Good News that God so loves the world that He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to make atonement for sin. And that anyone and everyone, anywhere and everywhere, who..
