In case you didn’t know it, if you are a conservative Christian, you are just like Boko Haram and ISIS. At least, that’s what the secularists are saying. More absurd still, they actually believe this.
Of course, secularism has been...

In the July/August 2013 issue of Touchstone, the editors rejected the idea that one could be both "gay" and Christian. The basis of that belief, we said, is exemplified in St. Paul's assurance to the Corinthian church that what some of its believers used to be—and here he recited a catalog of sins that included arsenokoitai ("sexual perverts")—they no longer were, because they had been washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God
Amazing Grace is now an amazing new musical. And a great reminder of why Christians need to be involved in the arts.

Religion, and maybe Ebola, owned the news this week. From the confusion and public relations nightmare at the Vatican over the Synod’s Relatio, to the Caesarism of Annise Parker and the City of Houston subpoenaing sermons from pastors, it has been a busy week for the religion beat.
It is downright difficult to shock or awe anyone anymore. The convergence of instant-media platforms and invisible data networks, which connect these platforms to millions of eyeballs, means that anything which happens in the world is eligible for prime time....

So, are science and faith really at odds? Stephen Meyer, John Lennox and I will be tackling this and other questions on a national simulcast event this weekend.
Wilfredo De Jesus is pastor of New Life Covenant Church in Chicago and is the author of “In the Gap: What Happens When God’s People Stand Strong.”
A gap, as in Ezekiel 22:30, is a place of vulnerability, exposure, risk...
Yes, clinical depression is a serious medical condition. But what we believe also has a big role to play.
Why do we assume that compromise is a good thing? The word itself provokes a Pavlovian response across Western culture, but is compromise categorically a good thing? By definition, compromise requires all parties involved to meet somewhere in the middle...
It’s something most Christian parents worry about: You send your kids off to college and when they come back, you find they’ve lost their faith. The prospect of this happening is why many parents nudge their kids towards Christian colleges,...
“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.” ~Matthew 24:6

God bless Father Terry Keehan a living example of a true shepherd to his flock at Holy Family Catholic Church in Inverness. Father did that with his proper response to the music director of Holy Family.
If this assessment was true in Gilbert Keith’s day, how much more so today? What we consider Christian virtues have been pulled apart to the point of complete isolation.
