No More Excuses Or Theological Gymnastics: Christians Are Called To Love The Jewish People

I love all my brothers and sisters in Christ, but I’m wounded when I hear fellow believers dismiss or attack Israel and the Jewish people. The laundry list of excuses for this behavior includes many acrobatic contortions of Scripture that distance Christians from Jewish people. Antisemitic tropes also play a part in these condemnations. So does misinformation about the Jewish nation, as many Christians understand little of the State of Israel’s history of fighting for its life in defensive wars. They look at the nation’s activity in Gaza and Iran as an unforgivable sin because of the negative optics of military conflict, and they refuse to honor Scripture’s call to bless His Chosen People—even those who have never set foot in Israeli land.

Evangelism, Hope, And Awe: Why God Tells Us The Future

God’s reasons involve both ultimate and immediate purposes. First, let’s look at the ultimate purpose. God provided special revelation through the prophets and Jesus Christ—the source of all prophetic revelation (Revelation 19:10). Our Lord used words, visions, dreams, miracles, and theophanies so that He could, as theologian Lit-Sen Chang stated, “reveal His divinity to His creation, display His many excellencies, and declare His glory, especially in His work of redemption.” As we witness how God’s plan for the ages unfolds, we’re meant to be astounded more and more by our wonderful Creator, Redeemer, and King.

Deception

Massive Distinctions: Why The Mormon Jesus Is Not The Jesus Of The Bible

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as Mormons or LDS, claims the gospel was lost in the early centuries of the church age and was restored to its fullness in 1820. New revelation was supposedly given through Joseph Smith and later "prophets," including a radically different view of Jesus. Since Christians believe that the Jesus of the Bible is Yahweh along with the Father and Spirit as part of the Trinity, there are some massive distinctions.

Confronting Modern-Day Battles With Eternal Truth

The greatest thing that you can do right now is to say, “Lord, here I am. Send me.” When you do that, expect Him to work in and through your life. From the moment you pray that prayer, be looking for an open door to speak up, to show up or to stand up. Most often in my own life, when I have prayed that prayer, God has not failed to present an opportunity that gets my attention. And when it does, I know He will fill my mouth with His truth to speak to that issue. It could be among my family, within the city council, a school board, our state capitol or even our nation. God has raised each of us to serve a particular purpose that will glorify Him, and I encourage you today to determine to be a person who seeks to fulfill that purpose.

A Vital Promise Ignored: Most Churches Effectively Silence Our Biblical Hope In Jesus’ Appearing

An expression dating back to 1512 is: “Throwing out the baby with bath water.” The idea is that if you think part of something is bad, don’t throw it all away. Is that not what many pastors do today? Because they fear the negative results of mentioning the dreaded word “Rapture” from the pulpit, they refuse to talk about what happens when Jesus appears: our bodily transformation. The essence of our “blessed hope” goes out the window along with any mention of Jesus’ appearing. Most churches effectively silence our biblical hope in Jesus’ appearing.

An Astonishing Biblical Passage: The Day The Graves Opened Was A Preview Of Things To Come

As Jesus hung on the cross, a lot of supernatural phenomena took place, including a mighty earthquake, the sun going dark at 12:00 noon, and the curtain in the Temple being ripped from top to bottom. But one of the most amazing things of all happened when people came out of their graves! It’s only mentioned in one Gospel. What is this all about? It is a preview of things to come.

A Bold Public Declaration: Calvary Chapel Pastors In The UK Baptize 170 On Bigbury Beach

On a sunny day in September on Bigbury Beach in Devon, England, Calvary Chapel pastors were prepared and eager to perform many baptisms on the shoreline. Food and Bibles were prepared for the 60 believers expected to show up for this event. However, by the end of the day, 170 had been immersed in the sea making a public declaration of their faith in Jesus Christ.

‘Christian’ Magazine Twists Scripture To Argue Against Monogamy, Claims The Bible Supports ‘Many Loves’

An article in the October issue of the liberal Christian Century magazine has raised alarms for those who believe Scripture plainly teaches that monogamous marriage between one man and woman is God’s natural and best design for sexual union and civilization’s bedrock institution. David Congdon, a religious studies lecturer at the University of Kansas who has been described as an ex-evangelical, argues in an article titled “Understanding polyamory” that Christians should be open to “nonmonogamy,” and specifically polyamory—the concept of “many loves”—as a faithful expression of sexual union and relationship.

Does A Changing Culture Make Some Biblical Truth ‘Obsolete’? Nearly 1/3 Of Churchgoers Say ‘Yes’

God’s Word is not obsolete. Although certain passages from the Levitical Law may not be directly applicable to us today, the principles still apply and are instructive for us, especially regarding God’s holiness and man’s sinfulness. Every precious truth from Genesis to Revelation is as relevant now as it was when it was written because it’s the God-breathed Word of the Creator. Human pride and foolishness are saying we know better than God and can pick and choose what we want to believe or can decide our own meaning from the text. We need to allow God to be the authority and humbly submit ourselves to His perfect Word.

Making Sense Of God And Politics In America

Sometimes we take the blessing of our freedom for granted, but each election reminds us of the privileges of living in a free country. At its core, America was founded on the principles of liberty and was shaped by Christian thinkers. In his inaugural address as the first President of the United States, George Washington remarked, “No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United States.”

‘Kingdom Now’: A Popular Phrase Built On Crumbling Early Kingdoms And A Severe Misunderstanding Of Scripture

Not even the church—beloved as it is by God and as much as it strives to serve Him—is a fulfillment of God’s promise to establish His physical Kingdom here on Earth. We’re playing on Satan’s turf. Right now, the world is his domain (1 John 5:19). As Jesus said, we are in this world, but not of it (John 17:14–19). This is not our home. Scripture makes clear reference to the physical nature of God’s coming Kingdom. It will begin when Jesus comes again and stands on the Mount of Olives, the very spot from which He ascended to heaven after His resurrection. In that day, the Lord will be recognized as the rightful King over all the earth, over all His creation which He purposed to be part of His Kingdom since time began (Zechariah 14:9; Obadiah v. 21).

Why The Book Of Revelation Demands Our Study And Awe

This view is espoused often by those frustrated with the various (and diverging) interpretations of prophecy. “I’m not amillennial, premillennial, or postmillennial,” they say. “I’m panmillennial—the Lord will cause all things to ‘pan out’ in the end.” While it’s good for a laugh, it makes for a horrible approach to the Scriptures. Imagine if we applied such a lazy approach to other areas of theology, such as the deity of Christ or gender roles in the church. If God thought something was important enough that He revealed it in His Word, then it most definitely demands our study.

Nothing Looms Larger In The Future Of Believers Than Jesus’ Coming—And Nothing Is More Ignored

You don’t have to deny or even question the truth of Christ’s return to miss the point of it. Many believers acknowledge that Christ will come back someday but refuse to allow His impending return to influence their daily actions and decisions. So, instead of preparing for His return and making sure their lives align with His will, they choose to do things that are wrong. They know what the Bible says but choose to ignore it. They play around with sin. They try to have their cake and eat it, too, by living as they please in the present, reasoning that they can repent in the future.

Pastors Or Political Activists: What Happens To A Church That Rejects The Authority Of Scripture?

The pastor derisively refers to “the magical blood of Jesus.” He says he doesn’t believe in miracles — not even the Lord’s resurrection. In a sermon transcript posted to the church website, he called God’s justice “a tantrum. … If God wants to hurt me and hurts Jesus instead, I still have a guy with an anger problem.” He equates the “recognition of evil” with “hate.” And he openly mocks the idea that Jesus died for our sins. At heart, the pastor seems to be a political activist.

I Was Booed At ‘Christian’ Forum Event For Saying Marriage Is Good For Society

One questioner asked how we should respond to claims that moral standards have declined in recent decades. The other panellists responded by denying the premise. They argued that morality has not declined at all. I responded by pointing out that when Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne, less than 5% of babies were born outside wedlock – a number that is now over 45%. Marriages are down and divorces are up. I noted that this is bad for society. It was at this point that I got booed.

A Problem With Pastors: Why Compromise On Genesis Undermines The Foundation Of The Gospel Itself

Fewer than one-fourth of the 36 schools that responded were clearly young-earth creationist, and most of them were quite small seminaries. In their M. Div. programs for future pastors, only two had a required course on Genesis that addressed the creation-evolution issue. Three others had an elective on Genesis, but one of those didn’t address the creation-evolution controversy. Only three had a required course on apologetics, and one of those didn’t address the origins debate. Again, the main problem is that most pastors have never recognized and carefully considered the foundational issues at stake here. Few books provide pastors with clear arguments explaining why compromise on the history of Genesis 1–11 undermines people’s trust in the truth, clarity, and authority of Scripture, and ultimately undermines the foundation of the gospel itself.

James Talarico’s ‘Pastor’ Says Christ ‘Didn’t Die To Save Our Sins,’ Questions Whether Jesus Ever Existed

Undercover footage has exposed the teachings of a lesbian minister from Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate—and aspiring pastor—James Talarico’s home church. The minister, who reportedly uses “they/them” pronouns, claimed Christ “didn’t die to save our sins,” condemned God as “a vengeful, killing-people kind of God,” and questioned whether Jesus ever existed. “Jesus was political,” she said. “Jesus was put on that cross, not to save us; Jesus was put on that cross because Rome hated Him and they thought He was a threat to their domination of that area. And so they killed Him. He didn’t die to save our sins. That makes a whole lot more sense to me than to say that some God would kill His Son for us. That doesn’t make sense. How does that make up for all the things I can do? No, it doesn’t.”

An Anything But Christ Culture: When You Say ‘I’m A Christian,’ You Can Expect Pushback, Resistance, And Persecution

Christians have been persecuted more than any other religious group. And it’s not just confined to atheistic or Islamic countries. We’re starting to see more and more persecution in the United States. We see it in the woke ideology that has infiltrated our education system. We see it permeating the military. We see it being spread by the media. I describe it as an “ABC culture”: Anything But Christ. When you stand up and say, “I’m a Christian,” you can expect pushback, resistance, and even persecution. Paul said, “Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12). That’s a promise of God we rarely claim.

Why Are Evangelical Leaders Endorsing Dr. Hugh Ross’ Unbiblical And Unscientific Nonsense?

These endorsements have encouraged millions of Christians to accept the big bang theory as proven fact and the evolutionist view of 4.6 billion years of earth history. Accepting that evolutionary “history” includes rejecting the global Flood of Noah and accepting millions of years of animal disease, death, and extinction, and other natural evils, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and asteroid impacts. Why are his endorsing evangelical leaders not recognizing this as unbiblical and unscientific nonsense? Because they are wowed by his PhD in astrophysics and they don’t read carefully.

Biblical Illiteracy: One Of The Greatest Dangers Facing The Evangelical Church Today

One of the greatest dangers facing the evangelical church today may not be persecution from the outside, but Biblical illiteracy on the inside. We live in an age when Christians have unprecedented access to Scripture. The Bible is available in print, online, through apps, podcasts, audio Bibles, and countless translations. Yet access to the Bible does not necessarily mean knowledge of the Bible.

Head Of Church Of England Gives—Then Rescinds—Peace Award To Imam Who Praised Osama Bin Laden

The head of the Church of England has rescinded an interfaith award given to a Muslim cleric on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks after public outcry about the Imam’s praise of Osama bin Laden, the architect of the terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people.

Looking Beyond Today’s Lawlessness And Corruption To Our Ultimate Hope

We live at a time like no other; everywhere we look, we see signs telling us that the disasters of Revelation 6:1-8 are ever so close. The catastrophic events so far in 2026 point to the start of this time of judgment on the near horizon and, therefore, to Jesus’ soon appearing. If ever there was a time for excitement from the recognition that Jesus’ appearing is ever so close, this is it. Someday, perhaps very soon, our wait will end.

The Dangers Of The ‘Interfaith’ Movement—And Where The Bible Says It Is Heading

Revelation 17 describes “the great prostitute” who will wreak havoc in the last days. The prostitute is the image John uses to refer to the one-world religion that will dominate the end times. Because of the imagery John uses, it’s hard to say what the false religion will teach. But it’s likely that it will combine the teachings of various major existing religions. Or that it will just gloss over the differences between religions and declare them all to be equally valid. Sound familiar?

Christian Leaders Warn: Talarico’s Whole Platform Is Using The Bible To Support Godless Things

A video of Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico calling Islam and Christianity “equal pathways to truth” resurfaced and has been making the rounds on social media, along with comments equating the God of the Bible with gods of other religions. But Talarico, who has been using his faith as a central part of his campaigning and was described by Politico as an “aspiring preacher,” seems to differ with Jesus.

As ‘Replacement Theology’ Pervades Christian Circles, God’s Word Tells An Astonishingly Different Story

God used Jewish prophets to reveal Himself. His priceless words tell the true account of creation, how to live in civilized society (the Mosaic Law), and His intervention in the lives of ordinary people. He used Jewish eyewitnesses in the New Testament Gospels, Acts, the epistles, and the book of Hebrews (1:1–2) to reveal Himself in Christ. In Revelation, He prophetically detailed the end-times and how He specifically will use His Jewish witnesses. From beginning to end, God loves the Jewish people with an everlasting love (Jer. 31:3).

Barna Research Finds Shared Concern Over AI Misinterpreting Scripture, Being Used To Determine Theology

Ask a chatbot about a disputed Bible verse and you may get a tidy answer. Ask America’s pastors about the AI response, and you get a warning: That tidy answer could be a real problem. The Barna Group recently highlighted findings from two surveys, conducted in partnership with Gloo for the State of the Church initiative, that land on a common concern. Artificial intelligence misinterpreting Scripture is a shared worry for 74% of U.S. adults. Among practicing Christians, the figure climbs to 83%, and for pastors, it reaches 94%. Even 77% of non-practicing Christians say they are concerned.

Socialism Relies On A Fairy-tale View Of Human Nature… And Christians Shouldn’t Be Naive

Socialism relies on an unrealistic, fairy-tale view of human nature. Its creators believed that humans are naturally perfect and that things like greed and selfishness are only caused by a bad economic system. If you just get rid of private property and let the government run things, they argued, everyone will suddenly become selfless and cooperative. The Bible completely destroys this idea. Scripture tells us that our problems don't come from external systems; they come from inside our own hearts. Jeremiah 17:9 says: "The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it?"

Doom And Gloom: Apprehension Toward Bible Prophecy Is Built On A Profound Misunderstanding

Doom and gloom? That’s how many think of the book of Revelation. Oftentimes, Christians shy away from the study of prophecy because they believe it is too complex or irrelevant to spend time examining. But this is not true. Revelation gives us insight into things that will come to pass and helps us understand the things that are happening in our world. It gives us heavenly insight on what the future holds and changes our perspective as we go through our everyday lives.

Strong Christian Teens Are Feeling The ‘Tension’ Of The Culture’s Contrasting Worldview, Barna Research Highlights

The more these students dig into God’s Word and attempt to apply Scripture to the issues of our day, the more they notice that the two worldviews can’t be reconciled. Well, that’s Biblical! And that’s what I’ve found in my extensive travels when meeting many young people at the various events where I speak. When I travel and speak, I find teenagers are hungry for answers. They want to know how their faith applies to the issues of our day, they want answers for how they can know the Bible is trustworthy, and they want to be equipped to refute today’s secular thinking.

How A Nation Shaped By Biblical Truth Turned Into A Nation That Has Cast Aside The Influence Of The Church

From its founding, national leadership understood the critical need to recognize God and safeguard religious liberty; it was for this reason that America’s third President, Thomas Jefferson, wrote a letter to the Danbury Baptists, who were being persecuted by the state of Connecticut. It was from this letter that the words “building a wall of separation between Church & State” were first mentioned. Today, the words “separation between Church & State” have been stripped of all their original meaning. The phrase intended to prevent the government from stifling the church has been warped to insist that the church must be stifled from exerting any influence in government and the direction of political culture.

The Assertion That Bible Prophecy Is ‘Tertiary’ Has Caused Considerable Damage Within The Body Of Christ

The general assumption in many Bible-believing churches is that Bible prophecy is far too controversial and divisive for it to be taught. A few churches in my area openly state on their websites that the subject is “tertiary,” or less important than other matters of our faith. Sadly, most pastors and believers agree that Bible prophecy is tertiary, which Merriam-Webster defines as “of third rank, importance, or value.”

Utterly Unbiblical: ‘Pastor’ Claims God Had A Wife That Was Worshipped By Ancient Israel, Condemns Destruction Of Idols

What happens when you reject God’s Word as your authority and instead base your thinking on fallen man’s fallible word? Well, you might end up standing in a church pulpit and telling your congregation that God had a wife and that King Josiah was wrong for destroying the Asherah poles. Yes, this “pastor” really claims the Israelites worshipped Yahweh as God along with Asherah as a female god, and that no one had a problem with it for a very long time. He then bemoans how hard it must have been for the Israelite women and girls when King Josiah ordered the Asherah poles to be chopped down—who would they now look up to and pray to without a “queen of heaven”?

Comparing Political Policies To Scripture: Why Christians Must Vote In The Midterm Elections

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, told Decision, “People should pay very close attention to state laws, those who are running to make those laws, the attorneys general in those states and the state elected officials. What’s happening at the state level is very important in our system—our federalist system—because the state laws become, as we’ve seen in recent years, a defense against the encroachment of bad federal policy.” The former Louisiana legislator added, “The state level is an opportunity to actually get strong pro-family, pro-life, Biblically aligned laws into place.”
