india-4-24-2008.jpgEverything she had lived for was a lie. Both of her children had come to know Jesus in a personal way; she could see He was real, too. But if she admitted that Jesus was the true God, she would have to let go of the prestige and honor of being a priestess in her traditional religion in Orissa, India.
 
Standing Strong in the Storm Print E-mail
Biblical Teaching - Persecution
Written by Glenn Penner   
storm-4-30-2008-2.jpgThe prophet Jeremiah knew what it was to be God's messenger.  For forty years he preached a message of warning and repentance, only to be repeatedly threatened, arrested, beaten and humiliated.  It is not that Judah was an irreligious people.  Rather the opposite was true.  The people were proud of their temple.

mainstreet-4-30-2008.jpgThe big “buzz” in the American religious community is the recently released report from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

Looking To the Wrong Source Print E-mail
Commentaries - James Robison
Written by James Robison   
house-4-30-2008.jpgIn any election year, I stand amazed at all the promises made by political candidates. The Bible clearly says to look "unto the hills, from whence cometh my help." (Psalm 121:1) In today's world, people erroneously look to "The Hill" as their hope and source for meaningful help.
 
The Gospel of No! Print E-mail
News - Christian News
Written by Jeremy Reynalds   
no-4-30-2008.jpgThere seems to be a huge disconnect between the Jesus of the Bible and what His followers are known for today. While we complain about the way we're profiled by the media, is the coverage really unfair? Perhaps we're suffering the effects of our own shortsighted interpretation of the gospel, as well as the strident, angry discourse dispensed by those whom the media believe speak for us.

mayday-5-3-2008.jpgRecently, I noticed there were a lot of people dealing with emotional turmoil within their families or ministries.  Most of these situations seemed full of emotional energy and quite chaotic in nature.  As I began to pray into this I heard the Lord say that the enemy is unleashing demonic assignments to exaggerate emotions and to bring forth vain imaginations.
