As American patriot Thomas Paine once said, “These are the times that try men’s souls.” It has become so easy to get entangled in the things that war against our very souls. Distresses, if they have not targeted us, seem to be always waiting in the wings looking for the perfect time to strike. Many [...]

Silence on “destroy all churches” statement shows double standard
Since the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia called for the destruction of all churches on the Arabian Peninsula several weeks ago, there has been scant major media coverage of this incident.

His lovingkindness is better than life
The other night, I was laying in bed thinking about how good God has been to me over the years. I praised him for his mercy, grace, longsuffering, and forgiveness and couldn’t help but thank him for all the blessings he had given me in spite of myself. Then this verse came to my mind, [...]

Fear or faith?: selah in a season of discontent
Since God presents us with many opportunities to minister to others who need our help, it’s good for us Christians to be aware of what’s going on in the world and in our immediate surroundings. This is why I like to highlight news stories I think are interesting. However, with all the bad news that [...]

Prayer Caucus of TN complains about Vanderbilt Univ.
Vanderbilt University, which has recently targeted Christian student organizations for not abiding by its nondiscrimination policy, was recently sent a letter from the Congressional Prayer Caucus in Tennessee.

A true prophecy from an unbelieving heart
47Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 48If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. 49And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high [...]
