A friend of mine sent me a Bible verse from a subscription to a daily Scripture from The Berean, from Bible Tools. (Not to be confused with Bible Study Tools, which is fine). I thought I might subscribe. Nothing better than a Bible verse and commentary sent to my inbox, right? Wrong. As is […]
“I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 2 Timothy 4:1–2 And they devoted themselves […]
In her book “One Thousand Gifts,” Ann Voskamp shares her view that God is present in all things. This is panentheism.

Over at Religion News, Emergent Church leader and former adviser to Bill Clinton, Tony Campolo, has written a piece urging Christians to vote for Hillary Clinton. Campolo lays out his reasons why a pro-abortion, pro gay “marriage” Democrat would make a good president: I like Hillary Clinton. We are personal friends. But that’s not the only reason […]
A friend of mine recently stated, “if a Christian is unable or unwilling to exercise discernment, there is no way they can do apologetics.” I am finding that in an increasing number of cases leaders who were once able are becoming unwilling. The ways of the world and the desire to be liked have all […]
The United Nations has launched a biometric registration process for some 245,000 Rwandan refugees living in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The government says it hopes the process will show them how many Rwandans live in the country. Coincidentally perhaps, this is the same year that Rwanda will become the first 100-percent Purpose Driven Nation […]
