Stand Up for the Truth

The greatest military leaders are ones who can see beyond the current battle conditions and take a strategic look at what the enemy is up to.  They understand that deception is a big part of warfare and that enemies often try to lull their opponents into a false sense of security as they lay a [...]

Mindfulness meditation was once thought of as an Eastern mystical practice. But now it’s transforming the minds of even the most conservative Christians in America.  One United States congressman’s solution to the chaos of the world’s  economic, social, and political turmoil is a practice known as “mindful meditation,” a slippery slope that is being sold [...]

Via The Blaze: Pastor Jim Wallis’ support for the Occupy Wall Street movement and his leftist inclinations are widely documented. The progressive pastor, who has served as a faith adviser to President Barack Obama, is no stranger to controversy. In an interview that will air nationwide at Lifetree Café locations in the coming days, Wallis made some startling statements [...]

The story of Adolph Hitler’s rise to power is sad, but very interesting.  One obscure man, filled with passion for his nation and hatred for the Jews, comes from nowhere to become possibly the greatest mass murderer in history.  5 million Jews murdered and nearly 50 million dead world wide in a war started by [...]

Discernment.  Both David and Solomon continually asked God for discernment so they might serve Him and his people wisely.  The Apostles preached about the need to be discerning regarding spirits and teachings of leaders.  It is obvious God wants us to have a discerning heart when we deal with things of this world and in [...]

It’s important when we read the news or listen to what a leader says that we look beyond the rhetoric and discern the real intentions of the one delivering a message to us.  Watch the nightly news about what is going on in Africa these days.  The secular news reports with terms like “tribal violence” [...]

I saw a study that projects nearly 100 million Americans would make 2012 New Year’s resolutions and that by the end of January, nearly 90% would walk away from that resolution.  So how are you doing and just what was your resolution this year?  I might suggest that if your primary resolution was anything short [...]

I found this via christianpost.com last fall, and I’m bumping it up on our site by the many requests we get for “A Common Word.”: Administrators from one of the most influential evangelical colleges in the country removed their names from a controversial letter addressed to Muslim leaders that some say compromises the Christian faith.
