Stand Up for the Truth

It seems no one wants to rock the boat anymore. We’ve become a Body of sheep who have been groomed by the world and by the Church that Christianity is about being nice and being tolerant.  It has made us vulnerable not only to full-on frontal attacks, but subtle, sweet sounding lies that almost sound [...]

Do we know the Gospel, and are we sharing it biblically? One of the greatest challenges in sharing our faith today is competing against all of those other messages unbelievers have heard about God, salvation, truth, and Jesus. Perhaps your relatives and neighbors have heard a message that has been twisted or even watered down. [...]

Many Christians in America are wondering how the history of our nation’s constitution is important to our liberty today, and what to make of the culture of tolerance sweeping into our country and our [...]

An interesting and somewhat uncomfortable video is enticing Australians to come to Sydney Harbor next month for the C-3 Presence 2012, a four-day conference featuring John Bevere and Pastor Steve Furtick. The event promises a golden fire of anointing, vision and miracles: http://www2.myc3church.net/presence Miracles?

When we as a Church look bright and shiny on the outside, we might want to make sure that what we’re reflecting is the hope and truth of our risen Savior, Jesus Christ. But a trend in American “churchianity” seems to point to the way we’ve allowed a man-centered religion redefine who we are in [...]
