Who should be responsible for creating “meaningful change” in our nation? Americans are twice as likely to say it’s government’s responsibility than to say it’s the responsibility of Christian churches, according to a new Barna survey. The implications of this survey should be of great concern to born-again, Bible-believing, followers[...]
Throughout history we see the rise and fall of world empires. Some even rose to the point of seeming invincibility. It’s only through hindsight that we clearly see why each of these great civilizations fell. With all that’s happening these days, it’s not hard to imagine the downfall of our[...]
I’m not really shocked anymore at what the world promotes and protects. But the way many who profess Christ act is a real head scratcher. How can people who claim to believe in the inerrancy and infallibility of Scripture not show the slightest hint of Scripture’s sufficiency in their actions?[...]
