While looking at the Charisma News website last week, I noticed two stories. One had been shared almost 11,000 times, the other barely 100. Is it any surprise that the first story was about a scandal in a gospel celebrity’s family and the second story about a courageous martyr in Africa? The first article was […]
One of the favorite sayings of charismatics and Pentecostals is that “the anointing breaks the yoke,” and while it is a true statement, it’s actually based on a mistranslation of the Bible. What the original Hebrew text says is much better. But first, so you don’t think I’m trying to burst anyone’s bubble, let me
Once again, true to form, the film industry is celebrating the two latest gay and lesbian flicks, both featuring torrid affairs between an adult and a teenager, while at the same time there are howls of protest across America because an 18-year-old girl has been charged with crimes because of her sexual relationship with a
I am sometimes criticized for using the term “radical Islam” when describing acts of Islamic terror, the argument being that this is really normative Islam. In contrast, the more peaceful expression of the faith is understood to be a liberalized, non-representative form of Islam. Could this criticism be valid? Writing from Australia, CultureWatch commentator Bill
Gay activists love to point to the changes in public opinion regarding same-sex “marriage,” announcing triumphantly that this is a sign of moral and even spiritual advancement. In reality, it is part of a larger trend toward immorality, a sign of moral bankruptcy and spiritual apostasy. According to a May 13 Gallup report, “Just three years ago, support for gay marriage was 44 percent.
I absolutely believe that divine judgment is in the earth today, and I reject the teaching that states that from the cross until the Second Coming, God’s wrath will not be poured out on the earth. There is a substantial amount of New Testament evidence that stands against this doctrine. At the same time, we
If the enemies of Planned Parenthood wanted to make the organization look bad, they could not done have a better job than the baby-killing corporation did for itself with its new slogan and ad campaign. The slogan? “Care. No matter what.” The ad campaign? “Your Baby Will Thank You.” Too bad Dr. Kermit Gosnell didn’t
You can learn a lot of things on Facebook in terms of “Christian” interaction, and unfortunately, much of it is anything but nice. In fact, the interaction is often downright rude and ugly and, ironically, some of the worst offenders are fervent proponents of the “grace” message. How can this be? Recently, I asked my
Last month I received one of the most wonderful calls in the history of our radio broadcast, as a Jewish believer named Ron shared with our listeners how his 97-year-old mother had just put her faith in Yeshua the Messiah. Rejoicing in the Lord, I posted this on Facebook, writing with tears of joy: “Today,
One of the regular listeners to my daily radio broadcast is a man named Randy who lives in New York City. His story is painful to read but heartwarming in the end. I’ve never met Randy in person, but he would sometimes send me a note saying that while he really enjoyed listening to my
As expected, the media has crowned Jason Collins, the first openly gay NBA player, the new Jackie Robinson, and the Human Rights Campaign has called Collins a “hero for our own times.” His actions were deemed worthy of a personal phone call from President Obama, who told Collins that he “couldn’t be prouder.” Without disparaging
You knew it was going to happen sooner or later. An athlete in a major pro sport would come out as gay, declaring himself a Christian as well, and a Christian journalist would be asked for his take on the subject, only to be labeled intolerant and bigoted. How could it be otherwise? It’s true
