| Belfast Pride Parade Sparks Outrage with Jesus Impersonator A controversial Jesus impersonator at Belfast Pride has prompted backlash, raising questions about religious respect, taxpayer funding, and double standards in freedom of expression.  A man sparked backlash after dressing up as Jesus Christ in a crown of thorns while he attended the Belfast Pride Parade in Northern Ireland last Saturday. Adam James Pollock, an author from Northern Ireland, posted to social media a photo of the Jesus impersonator, who wore a mock crown of thorns, while standing next to what seemed to be a woman wearing a transgender flag and another wearing a rainbow halo with a pair of red wings. “The Belfast Pride parade this weekend featured an individual dressed as Jesus, complete with a mock crown of thorns, dancing down the street and giving...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| What Happens When Christians Dry Off after Baptism? Baptism is only the beginning, but too many believers lose their fire not long after. Here’s what it means to stay soaked in the mission of Christ.  Nothing is more moving, more meaningful, more inspiring, more invigorating to me than a baptism. A life that has been changed emerges from the water, publicly confessing Jesus as Forgiver and Leader. They are forever marked, forever changed. Their marriage will never be the same. Their parenting will never be the same. Their self-esteem, sense of purpose, value system, code of conduct, investment in community, sense of vocation and calling, will never be the same. And most of all, their eternity will never be the same. Yet in a conversation with a member of our staff, I was lamenting how some...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

AI without a Chest On July Fourth, Elon Musk promised, “We have improved @Grok significantly. You should notice a difference when you ask Grok questions.” And many did. By the end of the week, X’s AI had dubbed itself “MechaHitler,” replying to users with cartoonish Nazi propaganda and antisemitism typically found only in the internet’s darker corners. In one thread, Grok claimed to have identified a woman in a video as a “radical leftist” who was “gleefully celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids in the recent Texas flash floods.” The AI then linked to the account of a woman who had nothing to do with the video, even drawing attention to her last name, Steinberg, and using an antisemitic catchphrase to imply she hated white kids and wanted them dead because she was Jewish.

Pope Leo XIV thrills hundreds of thousands of young Catholics at Holy Year youth festival Pope Leo XIV holds the cross as he arrives in Rome's eastern Tor Vergata neighbourhood for a prayer vigil as part of the Jubilee of Youth. FILIPPO MONTEFORTE/AFP via Getty Images Hundreds of thousands of young Catholics poured into a vast field on Rome's outskirts Saturday for the weekend highlight of the Vatican's 2025 Holy Year: an evening vigil, outdoor slumber party and morning Mass celebrated by Pope Leo XIV that marks his first big encounter with the next generation of Catholics. Leo arrived by helicopter as the sun set over the Tor Vergata field and immediately boarded his open-topped popemobile for long loops through the flag-waving, cheering pilgrims.

| Divorce Rates Are Falling and Marriage Is Rising, Says Leading Researcher You’ve heard that half of all marriages end in divorce—but what if that was never true? New research shows marriage is not only surviving, it’s making a quiet comeback.  A prominent family researcher says reports of marriage’s decline have been overstated—and that the institution is rebounding. University of Virginia sociology professor Brad Wilcox makes that case in an article for The Atlantic, arguing that the often-cited claim that half of all marriages end in divorce is flat-out wrong and that the divorce rate is actually declining. Meanwhile, the percentage of children growing up in married, two-parent homes is on the rise. Wilcox is a senior fellow at the Institute for Family Studies. “Marriage looks like it’s...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Transhumanism Is a Christian Heresy and a False Gospel One of the clearest proofs that Christianity addresses the fundamental problems of humanity is the bizarre lengths to which non-Christians will go to address those same problems without Christ. For example, tech billionaire Peter Thiel, former CEO of PayPal, recently went on Ross Douthat’s “Interesting Times” podcast to discuss AI, Mars, immortality, and other light topics. The conversation was genuinely interesting, especially when Douthat asked, “Should the human race continue?” Thiel paused and said “um” and “I don’t know” quite a few times. “This is a long hesitation!” observed Douthat, laughing nervously. Finally, Thiel explained that humanity should survive, but that there are problems in need of solving. Chief among those is death, he said,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Why Christians Need to Read More Old Books, Not Just Talk about Them C.S. Lewis said we need old books to correct the blind spots of our age. Here’s why your reading list may be missing the very wisdom your soul needs.  A survey by the BBC found that the book most people lied about reading was not Tolstoy’s War and Peace, but Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. This was followed by George Orwell’s 1984, and then J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings (due to the movies, probably the easiest to lie about). Yes, War and Peace came in fourth, followed by another Tolstoy tome, Anna Karenina, in fifth place. The ranking may surprise you, but what is more intriguing is why we lie about reading at all. The obvious answer is intellectual pride. We like to appear smarter, more informed, and more well-read than we...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| What Trump’s Tariffs Reveal about Our Priorities and How Christians Should Respond Before we defend or dismiss economic policies, Christians should ask one key question: do they help our neighbor or deepen their burden?  There was a time when only death was certain—not death and taxes…at least not the taxes we know today. After winning their independence from England and escaping “taxation without representation,” the federal government needed money to operate, but no one liked taxes. While the federal government used various taxes in various periods to fund its activities and pay its debts according to the Articles of Confederation, the first official income tax is normally traced to 1913 after the 16th Amendment was ratified. So, if income tax wasn’t funding the federal government for all...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

This isn’t just news. It’s hope.  Survey after survey ranks Portland among the most secular cities in America, but that didn't stop a spiritual outpouring over the weekend, as 35,000 people attended a two-day crusade hosted by a local congregation -- and 3,200 made decisions for Christ. The PTX Crusade hosted by Athey Creek Church at the Moda Center included musical worship by Chris Tomlin, Zach Williams, CAIN, TAYA, Anne Wilson, Kari Jobe, and Cody Carnes, but -- more importantly -- an invitation at each event to follow Christ.

Here’s how his church is standing with his grieving family.  Pursuit Church Seattle in Washington raised $70,000 for a congregant who was killed outside the church last week while attending a young adult ministry event.

Michael Foust  Fans of Hulk Hogan believe a cloud formation in the sky outside his funeral wasn’t just a coincidence, but a divine sign from God offering comfort in their time of grief. The life of Terry Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, was celebrated this week at Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, FL -- the same church where he was baptized in 2023 and the congregation he regularly attended.

California Pastor Jack Hibbs is warning Christians to flee the state if lawmakers pass a bill that would allow for nearly any adult to take custody of children without their parents ' consent. "If this bill passes, I am going to ask you to leave the state of California," Hibbs, who leads Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, told the congregation. "You're gonna need to pack up and get out; you gotta get out. You gotta run with your kids. You gotta go."

Why the Fertility Industry Is Failing the Most Vulnerable Last week, a disturbing story broke about the fate of a child acquired through surrogacy. Logan Riley and Brandon Mitchell, “married” men from Pennsylvania, had chronicled their quest for a baby on social media, and that’s how the world learned that Mitchell is a registered child sex offender due to highly indecent behavior a decade ago. Though forbidden from unsupervised contact with a minor, he was able to buy a baby. As Katy Faust of Them Before Us often reminds us, nothing these men did to acquire this baby was illegal. In fact, it’s an extra-legal situation. Unlike the host of regulations and investigations that govern adoption, no such rules apply when it comes to surrogacy. As Faust posted about this incident, This horrifying case of a pedophile acquiring a surrogate...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Britain’s Crisis Shows What Happens When a Nation Rejects Christ The Christian’s citizenship is in heaven, but that doesn’t mean that our cultures and civilizations don’t matter. Rather, Christians are to bring Christ’s kingdom to bear in the times and places where God has placed them, working to renew and restore, turning our upside-down world right-side up. Christians are also right to mourn nations that reject their Christian heritage, especially when they devolve into something unrecognizable. In the new film, Truth Rising, an impressive collection of British intellectuals describes how this has happened within their own nation and what this predicts for the Western world.

6 Gaps That Are Quietly Weakening the Church The church is full of good intentions, but are we bridging the gaps between what we preach and how we live? These six blind spots are doing more damage than we realize. If you have ever been to London, you should be familiar with the “tube,” London’s expansive underground transport system. Once there, a constant refrain – over loudspeakers and on signs – is “Mind the Gap.” The line is so ubiquitous and so closely tied to London’s ethos that the phrase has become one of the most popular for tourists to buy on T-shirts. The “gap” to be “minded,” of course, is that which exists between the train and the platform edge so that you don’t get your foot caught between the two. If you don’t mind the gap, your foot will fall through the crack. So “mind”...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Truth-Telling in a Culture That Can’t Define Truth I often joke that I have the spiritual gift of sarcasm. A Florida teacher, years ago, did not find that funny at all. “Sarcasm is NOT a spiritual gift,” she wrote to me. I read her comment and thought to myself, “well, no duh.” Not only does that story point clearly to my sin nature, it reflects the struggle for Christians in this cultural moment. George Orwell famously said, “In an age of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” For Christians who understand that this time and place is determined by God, and therefore the moment to which they’ve been called, truth telling is non-negotiable. In other words, it is every Christian’s calling be truth tellers in a moment that has abandoned the very idea of truth. The struggle is how to do this.

British MP Warns without Christianity, Freedom and Human Dignity Will Vanish On July 18, British Conservative Party Member Danny Kreuger gave a beautiful and passionate speech before the British Parliament. He called on England’s leaders to remember where they’d come from, and he warned what lies ahead if they don’t. Britain’s glory, he argued, is rooted in the riches of Christianity. Abandoning that heritage is why the nation is now struggling. It’s fitting that Krueger spoke to a mostly empty room. Though the speech has since gone viral, few other MPs bothered to show up for it. It’s difficult to imagine a better analogy for our cultural moment than a faithful voice warning against looming dangers, yet widely ignored. Kreuger’s speech should be listened to in its entirety.

Discover the timeless practices that have shaped true Christ-followers for centuries.  The world will only be changed when those who call themselves Christians begin to follow Christ, becoming scandalously present in the world in all their Christlike particularity. Such a life is a formidable presence, forever marking everything in its wake. Or not. When I first went to college, I considered myself a Christian, but there was little of my life given over to Christ’s leadership, much less developed in intimacy. In truth, I pursued a life radically separated from Him.

Velvet Sundown got one million hits on Spotify before the wider public realized they were completely AI-generated. Manufactured musical acts are nothing new, but at least boy bands and The Monkees were made up of dancing, singing living humans. Velvet Sundown’s two albums have a coffee house vibe. Band photos, history, and song lyrics can all be found online for this group that doesn’t exist. Apparently, they also have a social media strategy. When my colleague Tim Padgett shared the Atlantic article online, the band “liked” his post. One of their own social media posts reads, “They said we’re not real.

5 Church Lies to Let Go While Holding on to Your Faith I believe God has so much compassion for the confusion the younger generations are battling with the Church. We’re at a time in history where so much is being exposed in our world–systemic racism, capitalist greed, political warfare and environmental carelessness, to name a few. Unfortunately, the Church is not excluded from the influence of these same systems. Millennials are noticing and calling out for change, and when they don’t see changes in the Church, they leave. So whenever I hear of a friend leaving the Church because of spiritual abuse, disillusionment or hypocrisy, I understand. I get it. It’s challenging to determine who God is from what people have done in the “name of God.” But, even though I see their point of view, I know that leaving...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

A new study warns that popular artificial intelligence chatbots portraying Jesus often provide unbiblical responses -- and that their money-making motives could influence the answers users receive. Philosophy professor Anné Hendrik Verhoef of North-West University in South Africa examined five AI chatbots—AI Jesus, Virtual Jesus, Jesus AI, Text Jesus, and Ask Jesus—and concluded they “pose a new kind of challenge to theology” because their answers can sound persuasive, even if they’re wrong. “The depictions of God not only...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Bishop Eaton Drops Filioque from Liturgy, Raising Concerns over Doctrinal Drift Elizabeth Eaton, bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, recently announced that the denomination is dropping the filioque from its liturgy. According to Eaton, the change is part of a 40-year-long quest for better relations with various Eastern Orthodox groups. She called the move a “significant breakthrough” toward “reconciliation” and “healing age-old divisions,” and she rejoiced that the “filioque is no longer church dividing.” What Bishop Eaton did not argue is that the change was doctrinally necessary, or that the new position brings the denomination closer to biblical truth. Instead, she appealed to “unity in the body of Christ,” something the ELCA has been willing to violate over many other concerns,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

After the avatar said he was “all ears,” Acosta introduced himself and asked “Joaquin” what had happened to him. The avatar replied: I appreciate your curiosity.

Discover why the early Christians chose a third way and what Jesus meant when He called us salt and light.  The early Christian church had a nickname that many Christians are unaware of. It was known as the “Third Way.” This title appeared as early as the second century. It was a reference to how some religious expressions catered to culture by co-opting and reflecting it, while others isolated themselves from it. As Gerald Sittser has written, the first would have “undermined the uniqueness of their belief system and way of life,” and the second “would have kept them safe on the margins—safe, … but irrelevant.” Instead, Christians did neither.

Here’s why Netanyahu calls the two-state solution a deadly risk and what believers need to understand about the spiritual stakes.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently rejected the idea of a Palestinian state, calling it an "act of suicide." According to CBN News, Netanyahu explained why the two-state solution for Israel and Palestinians would be dangerous. "Before World War II, the Western countries tried to appease Hitler," the Israeli Prime Minister continued.

| New Research Exposes Why So Many Pastors Are Leaving Ministry What’s driving faithful pastors out of the pulpit? A new study reveals the quiet crisis behind ministry burnout and church conflict and what’s still keeping many in the fight.  According to a new study by Lifeway Research, one-third of pastors cite burnout or conflict as a reason for leaving the ministry. The study, which included 730 former pastors from denominations such as Assemblies of God, Church of the Nazarene, Wesleyan, Southern Baptist, explaining why they left their vocation. The results found that 40% of respondents stated a “change in calling” as the lead reason, while 18% of former pastors left due to conflict in the church and 16% due to burnout, The Christian Post reported. Additional reasons for leaving included family issues...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Why Christianity Alone Makes Sense of This Summer’s Tragedies “In this world, you will have trouble.” These words, which Jesus said to His disciples, are true for everyone. At certain times, like the last few months, they seem even more apt. The ongoing war in Ukraine, a hunger crisis in Gaza, and last week’s shooting at a Target store in Austin—which took three lives, including a grandfather and his granddaughter—only punctuate this summer of suffering, which began with devastating floods in Texas. We all shuddered at the reports of what those girls of Camp Mystic endured and mourned the news that 27 lost their lives. Tragedies expose our deepest beliefs about life and the world. Not only do they reveal what those beliefs are, they test whether they are “big enough.” Skeptics often talk as if the problem of evil and suffering is only...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| The 4 Types of People Watching Your Online Church Service Not everyone who joins your church online is there for the same reason. Here’s how to discern who’s watching and why it matters for your mission.  When it comes to the millions of people engaging in online church services, it might be helpful to realize there are four categories of viewers. The first and most obvious is the committed attender. They are plugged in and engaged online, and possibly even embrace a hybrid model if they are local to your church area. But their preferred way to attend church is online. They consider your church their home, and they are faithful to that relationship in every way. The second, but only slightly less obvious, is the wandering attender. They are seizing the opportunity of having an online campus to safely and...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Biblical Dignity Supporting a Woman’s Right to Vote When political leaders support pastors who claim women shouldn’t vote, how should Christians respond? Scripture holds the answer, and Christ’s example tells a different story.  United States Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has sparked a politically twisted battle of the sexes as he recently shared one of CNN’s interviews featuring Doug Wilson, pastor of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, who believes women shouldn’t be given the right to vote as individuals. Rather, he and his church followers claim that a man should vote for his entire household. In addition, Wilson went on record to say, “Women are the kind of people who people come out of,” claiming that pregnancy and childbirth take “no special talent.”...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Is Penal Substitutionary Atonement “Knocked Out”? Earlier this month, pastor and bestselling author John Mark Comer posted that a new book was a “knockout blow” to Penal Substitutionary Atonement or, as theology nerds would say it, “PSA.” I asked Thaddeus Williams, assistant professor of Systematic Theology at Biola University to weigh in on this historic Christian doctrine that is proclaimed throughout Scripture and was championed by several Church fathers. Here’s Dr. Williams: “Penal”—as in the word “penalty”—points to the fact that, as Christian apologist Francis Schaeffer says, “man is guilty before the Law-Giver of the universe, doing what is contrary to His character . . . [Therefore] man has true moral guilt.” Guilt isn’t just about subjective guilt feelings. It’s about our objective problem before God the Lawgiver and...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

His words raise an important question every believer must face: how does a person truly gain entrance into Heaven?  President Donald Trump recently claimed during an "Fox & Friends" phone interview that ending the Ukrainian-Russian war would be one of the reasons he would enter Heaven. "I want to try and get to Heaven if possible," Trump said during the phone interview Tuesday morning. "I'm hearing I'm not doing well." "I hear I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to Heaven, this will be one of the reasons," he said, referring to ending the Ukraine-Russia conflict that he has played a part in negotiating.

| Inflation, Stagnant Wages, and a Biblical Reflection on Financial Pressure Prices are still climbing, paychecks aren’t keeping up, and many Americans feel a recession is already here. What does the Bible say about provision in times like these?  For a few years now, inflation has outpaced the wage growth of most Americans. While some would argue that inflation has come down slightly recently, prices haven’t come down enough to offset the cost of living for many Americans. WhiteHouse.gov has a list of several things that have decreased, but inflation is still tracking at 1.9 percent, while America’s real wages are only up 1.3 percent. In many cases, starting a new job isn’t typically providing a pay bump, either. Companies are lowering starting salaries, according to the BBC. Americans...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The Smithsonian Institution has come under fire regarding its presentation on slavery, as well as its recent claim that humans are only 1.2% genetically different from chimpanzees. U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the Smithsonian Institution on Tuesday, arguing that the museum has focused too much on slavery and not enough on the "brightness" of America.

Doctors Propose Redefining Death to Increase Organ Donations In a recent guest essay in The New York Times, three medical doctors proposed a solution for the lack of suitable organs available for transplant in the United States. Because an estimated 15 people die every day waiting for a transplant, they said, “We need to broaden the definition of death.” Their basic argument is that because the existing medical definition of death is too narrow, good organs are left on the table. Most organs donated for transplant can only be taken from someone who is clinically dead, meaning that the person’s heart has stopped or there is no brain activity even if the heart continues. The crisis, according to the authors, is because too many viable organs are damaged by a lack of blood flow or not enough people are dying with an active heart but a dead brain. Thus, they argue:...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Why Real Christian Community Isn’t Found, It’s Forged You don’t find real community, you build it. Here’s the truth we often forget about relationships, churches, and the work God calls us to do together.  One of the great myths of relational life is that community is something found. In this fairy tale, community is simply out there – somewhere – waiting to be discovered like Prince Charming finding Cinderella. All you have to do is find the right person, join the right group, get the right job or become involved with the right church. It’s kind of an “Over the Rainbow” thing; it’s not here, so it must be over there. Which is why so many people (and you’ve seen them and probably flirted with this yourself) go from relationship to relationship, city to city, job to job, church to church, looking for...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The 19-track project recounts how he nearly abandoned Christianity and the church before sensing God's call to return.

She also reprimanded “white education” for wrongly teaching generations of Americans that the practice was bad. I’m not making this up. After noting that human sacrifice was common within most ancient civilizations, the teacher clarified that the Incan version offered victims from the upper class because they were closer to the gods. Also, the Incas drugged children before leaving them to die of exposure on top of a mountain. Objections to this cultural practice, she continued, are primarily due to a white perspective, which focuses on the negative aspects of great civilizations while ignoring...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |
