The God Delusion is sure to garner significant attention in the media and in popular culture. Dawkins, along with the other fashionable skeptics and atheists of the day, makes for good television and creates an instant media sensation. In one sense, we should be thankful for the forthrightness with which he presents his arguments. [...]

Beyond One Person Leadership – Shifting to Teams
While authors, Easum and Travis, affirm that the senior pastor is a key element in the equation that leads to a strong church and kingdom impact, they attempt to undo ‘the myth of the heroic leader’; everything rises and falls on the senior pastor. Rather they suggest; everything [...]

Events in Israel are of particular importance to Bible prophecy. As a consequence, the crisis in Israel dominates our coverage of events relative to the unfolding of Bible prophecy in this generation.
Israel is the linchpin in studying Bible prophecy. Jesus’ description of the signs of His Return [Matt 24:3] are given from the perspective of [...]

Dawkins states, real scientists are naturalists. As such, they eliminate entirely the question of a supernatural being’s existence. “The metaphorical or pantheistic God of the physicists is light years away from the interventionist, miracle-wreaking, thought-reading, sin-punishing, prayer-answering God of the Bible, of priests, mullahs and rabbis, and of ordinary language. Deliberately to confuse the two [...]

Christmas in America is a spirited demonstration of human ingenuity, capitalist productivity, and the enjoyment of life. Many friends I know talk about how the glory of Christmas is windswept by unbridled commercialism and materialism. I couldn’t help but notice that not long after the Halloween candy is eaten, the sounds of Jingle Bell Rock [...]

We must understand that, in the Christian worldview, culture is important, but never ultimate. Beyond this, we acknowledge that God is sovereign, and His providence rules over all.
The mission of the Church in the midst of this cultural crisis is to proclaim the truth and reach out to the casualties. In the face of rampant [...]

The Church has constantly been perplexed concerning its proper relation to culture. H. Richard Niebuhr traced five different patterns of cultural response in his famous work, Christ and Culture. The book over-simplified the issues and now looks awkwardly optimistic, but some of the patterns Niebuhr described are still evident. The Church as at times withdrawn [...]

A significant culture-shift has taken place around America. The essential contours of American culture has been radically altered. The so-called Judeo-Christian consensus of the last millennium has given way to a post-modern, post-Christian, post-Western cultural crisis which threatens the very heart of American culture.
Reflecting on the changes experienced by America over just the last half-century, [...]
