“Pray, believe, and receive—or doubt and do without” was a phrase I often heard in my Christian circle. And although it was not intended to be a harmful adage, it became one.That is, after I worked at a ministry where I was bullied, isolated, and left to fend for myself. When I finally decided to quit, friends and family still expected me to keep going to church. But I was so wounded from what I had experienced that the thought of attending church literally made me sick to my s

An investigation into how leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) have dealt with sexual abuse by clergy has cost more than $12 million over the past three years, causing the nation’s largest Protestant denomination to put its Nashville headquarters up for sale, the SBC’s Executive Committee announced on Tuesday. The expenditures, which include $3 million spent fending off a lawsuit filed by a former SBC president, have led the committee to spend down its reserves in wh

The St. Louis ministers weren’t prepared to debate polygamy. Darren Young and Thurman Williams, who work in urban ministry in St. Louis, say they joined an accountability group with fellow local pastor and Fuller Theological Seminary professor Vince Bantu for moral support and mutual discipleship. They felt honored to be in the group with him. Bantu is a rising star in American evangelicalism—an energetic Black scholar doing important research on the origins of Christianity

The past seven years have been agonizing for any foreigner serving North Koreans.Since 2017, the US has barred its citizens from going into North Korea without special permission, all but halting humanitarian organizations and businesses based in the US from operating there.When COVID-19 hit in 2020, nearly all foreigners left China, including those serving near the North Korean border.These two events have impacted how Christian nonprofits all over the world serve this isolated country, officia

The odds are good that you know someone who wagered on sports in the past year. With the rise in online sports betting, the industry now makes more than all the US major pro sports leagues combined. Americans are expected to bet $35 billion on NFL games alone this season.Gambling is not a new temptation, but I believe that the advent of online sports gambling raises the stakes considerably on how seriously Christian leaders should address questions around the moral and theological nature of gamb

When Delyn Garcia moved from the Philippines to Israel in 2018 to work as a caregiver, her goal was to earn enough money for her family back home to build a house.Yet life as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) was extremely difficult. The first year, she had to pay back the agency 1 million pesos ($17,700), meaning that some months she could send only 10,000 pesos ($180) home to her family. Day and night, she cared for her employer’s mother, an ailing 91-year-old, cooking, cleaning, giving

Matthew West and his team had a creative idea when they realized his album would launch during an election year -- yard signs across the nation, not to promote a political candidate but to encourage prayer. Their concept has taken off. The signs don't list West's name. Instead, they simply say: Don't Stop Praying. Of course, that's the title of West's popular song, but it's also a timeless message that Christians have embraced for centuries.

It's September, and that means it's time for the arrival of autumn. The vibrant green leaves of summer are turning picturesque shades of red, orange, and gold as families embrace the crisp air. Pumpkin-spiced treats and cozy sweaters make their seasonal debut this month. So do bonfires and weekend apple-picking trips.Meanwhile, moms and dads are back to packing lunches and juggling after-school activities while helping with homework and attending school events. They're also getting into the

Forget October surprises; this election season has already had a dizzying number of twists and turns: criminal trials, consequential debates, attempted assassinations, a candidate dropping out and being replaced, and new vice-presidential picks coming on the national scene. And every major development has been accompanied by plenty of 24–48 hour sideshows—controversies, partisan squabbles, scandals, and conspiracy theories. The crush of news may be catching up to Americans: Whil

Around my sophomore year of college, I approached my African American History professor, Dennis C. Dickerson, to inquire about my performance. Honestly, I was fishing for a compliment. I spoke frequently in class and expected his praise. And since he was one of a limited number of Black professors on campus, I thought he’d flatter me as a show of solidarity given our shared identity. He did not. In no uncertain terms, Dickerson told me I was a poor communicator and needed to tigh

Halfway through fifth grade, the school district issued a laptop to our son. Up to then, his “accelerated learning” classroom had been a pretty good fit. He had a great teacher, dynamic peers, and a pace that challenged and stimulated him.But with the laptop, our son’s learning immediately went off-track. He browsed the internet in class, played online games, fiddled around with display settings, changed his desktop photo, and then changed the photo again. His grades, behavior,

As a child I had no formal religious training. My parents were not opposed to faith, but they did not find it particularly relevant to daily life. At age five, I was sent to a local Episcopal church to sing in the boys’ choir so that I could learn music. I learned to love the hymns, but the theology washed over me without leaving any discernible residue. I can still play most of those hymns by heart on the piano—yet for the most part, I have trouble remembering the words because

Like other Americans, pastors are deciding who they’ll vote for in the November election. Compared to previous elections, however, they’re much more hesitant to share their preference.Almost all US Protestant pastors (97%) plan to vote in the 2024 presidential election, according to a Lifeway Research study conducted August 8–September 3, 2024. But almost a quarter (23%) refused to answer the question of whom they’ll cast their ballot for. Few felt the same hesi

Shawn Hamilton does what a lot of college-aged guys do on Christian campuses. He goes to class. He does his homework and reads his Bible. He plays video games, hangs out with his friends, and thinks about prevenient grace.“The Holy Spirit tries to beckon people,” the 22-year-old told CT. “It’s more than just common grace, as Calvin articulates it. It’s the reason why all people can do good things. Because we are totally depraved, but it’s the Holy Spirit conti

Questions about the place of Christianity and the posture of Christians in a pluralistic society have never been merely theoretical for me. They have always been very personal.I was first drawn to the Christian faith as a child in London. Both the city and the school I attended there were marked by profound religious, ethnic, and cultural pluralism. A few years later, while a freshman in high school, I began to follow Christ more intentionally after a conversion experience in a church youth grou

In 2008, Keo Ravy and Amy Sullivan of Children in Families (CIF) drove to an orphanage outside of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, to pick up two toddlers with severe developmental delays. They then brought the children to a rural village where they would meet their new foster families.In the car, four-year-old Sam Ang, who was blind and could not yet eat solids, suddenly started violently banging his head against the car floor. Startled, Sullivan tried to stop him, unaware that due to neglect, this was hi

Beginning in 2002, South Korean national Somang Son served as a missionary in New Delhi, India, for five years. In 2015, she embarked on another mission trip to the southern Indian city of Bengaluru.It was a new city and a different team, but one thing remained the same: She was the youngest missionary there.Son, 45, sees this same dynamic playing out in her work as a member care coordinator in a mission agency that reaches out to Muslims.“In the last three or four years, we never had any

Apollo Quiboloy called himself the “Appointed Son of God.”But to Filipino and American authorities, he was a man wanted for years on charges of sexual abuse and human trafficking.Quiboloy, the 74-year-old leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, surrendered to authorities on September 8 after 2,000 security officers descended on the religious sect’s massive complex in Davao City in the Philippines. Thousands of followers gathered at the 74-acre compound to protest Quiboloy’

Europe needs to unleash its banking unionUnicredit’s announcement last week that it had built up a 9 per cent stake in Commerzbank sparked a rare giddiness among European bank watchers. In the continent’s highly fragmented banking system, mergers are often confined to entities from the same country and lending activity is largely home-biased. Onlookers hoped the Italian bank’s move could pave the way for a deeper tie-up between Italy and Germany’s second-largest listed le

Recently, Pope Francis told people not to proselytize, and that all religions including Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus are a path to God. This is diametrically opposed to the Word of God. We will analyze the position of the Pope foretold many times in Bible prophecy on this edition of the Endtime Show!

A Wrong Turn on the Road to ‘Green’ Energy Making sure that you’re on the right road to get where you want to go is obviously important when you’re headed somewhere. While this is common sense for a good driver, it is rarely so for central planners. As the presidential election nears, discussion of the “Green New Deal” is resurfacing. The Biden administration’s push to “electrify everything” by mandating the production of electric vehicl

 Almost six months have passed since Issa Saliba boarded a bus in Gaza with 15 other Christians to seek safety in Egypt. But he still relishes how they sang, clapped, and danced as they escaped devastation.The air conditioning cooled his nerves, frayed from the harrowing journey to the border. Later that day, the wayside stop provided his first full meal.As 1.9 million Palestinians—90 percent of Gaza’s population—remain internally displaced, less known is that 100,000 have

With fewer restrictions, assisted suicides sky rocket in CanadaBoth Canada and California legalized assisted suicide in 2016. They have similarly sized populations, and the leading causes of death are very similar.
In California in 2022, 853 people asked a physician to help them die. In Canada that number was 13,241, roughly fifteen times more.READ MORE

Abu Dhabi Imposes Mandatory ‘Gene Testing’ Before MarriageThe testing requirement, which goes into effect on October 1, is intended to help couples make “informed decisions” about their partners.

Trump Declines A Third Presidential DebateFormer President Donald Trump announced Thursday in a post on Truth Social that he would not participate in another presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Earlier in the week, a new survey from Pew Research showed 82% of white, Evangelical, Protestants would vote for former President Donald Trump if the election were today. Other polling this week shows that 90% of likely voters say they know all they need to know about the f
