The founder of Hobby Lobby, the popular Christian arts and crafts store is giving away ownership to “choose God.”
In an op-ed, Founder and CEO David Green wrote for Fox New that he had to truly contemplate the source of his success. After nearly losing the business at one point, God showed him that He was the one who has provided for him.
Green says, “In that vein, I’d encourage every leader to consider their source of truth. What is the basis upon which they make decisions? Is it just themselves, or even a leadership team?”
As the successor to one of the most famous pastors in the world Rick Warren, new lead pastor for Saddleback Church Andy Wood is already making a name for himself.
In a recent message that Wood’s wife Stacie preached at Saddleback Church, she was labeled a “teaching pastor” in contradiction to the Southern Baptist Convention’s (SBC) resolution stating only men can hold the title of pastor within the church.
The resolution that the trustees drafted concludes by saying:
There is a spiritual world that exists outside of what the human eye can perceive. Humans are spiritual beings made in the image of God. What happens in the unseen realm affects your daily life and you often don’t even realize what is going on.
The Bible tells us that angels and demons are in the spiritual world. In Hebrews 1 it says that God sends angels to minister to those who will inherit salvation. There are also demons who disguise themselves as angels of light and they come with one mission: steal, kill and destroy.
What if these demons were influencing culture and entertainment in ways you haven’t realized? Christian YouTuber Troy Black shared a profound prophetic vision God gave him concerning ancient pagan gods in our world today.
A pastor is warning about spiritual danger after actress Vanessa Hudgens announced a new, unscripted feature film surrounding her interest in witchcraft and the occult.
“Satan is on a mission to normalize the demonic, because the more influencers and people that he can get to normalize the demonic, the easier it is to get the masses to receive it in their lives,” Mike Signorelli, pastor of V1 Church in New York City and host of the Charisma Podcast Network show “Supernatural Breakthrough with Mike Signorelli,” told CBN’s Faithwire. “So, this is a concerted effort. If you’re a Christian, if you’re a believer and if you have discernment, it’s very obvious to see.”
As Faithwire reported, Hudgens is teaming up with Bunim-Murray Productions and her best friend, GG Magreem, for “Dead Hot: Season of the Witch,” a 90-minute voyage into the supposed “supernatural.” The movie, which is in post-production, will document the duo’s journey to Salem, Massachusetts, where they reportedly learn about witchcraft and try to track down “ghosts,” among other spiritual activities.
While the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association was spreading the message of Jesus across the UK, multiple event centers tried to silence the gospel from going forth. Two years later, BGEA saw an incredible victory after facing the major backlash and event cancellations in the UK.
A Scottish court ruled that they were discriminated against for being a religious group after an event center in Glasgow, Scotland canceled the evangelistic crusade. Sheriff John McCormick ruled that the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) treated the ministry unfairly and unequally.
In a Twitter post on Jan. 30, 2020 an assembly member at one of the venues said, “We shouldn’t be welcoming Franklin Graham to Newport.” Other LGBTQ pride groups contacted venues asking for the event to be canceled–and it was. Numerous venues across the UK canceled Graham’s event because of his biblical values. {eoa}
