Can Christians Support Legal Exceptions to Abortion (Part 3)

By -
Several years ago a friend who was a member of a congregation we were attending came to me and said, "Why is it that our church never says anything about homosexuality?" (This was years before the controversial gay marriage decision of the supreme court). I was not on staff or in any formal leadership of the church, so I advised the person to ask the staff. She said, "I have." The church we were attending was a large church that actually was known for outreach and ministry to homosexuals, and yet we had never heard a sermon that even addressed the topic. Later I went to the staff and asked the question, which did begin a series of discussions that ultimately lead to several public teaching venues where people were taught a biblical view of sexuality, but it took some effort to get the church to talk about it. The situation, though, definitely reflected on the church's reluctance to openly discuss social issues.  I was once reprimanded by an elder board for preac...

Is the Evangelical Free Church Either?

Many people have never heard of the Evangelical Free Church of America but since WW2 it has been one of the most influential evangelical denominations Known for large churches that are faithful the Bible and welcoming to Christians of diverse theological, cultural, potical and ethnic persuasion it has been a bulwark for the gospel around the world.

The school served the broad evangelical community around the world.That school sent men and wome...

Are Woke Immigration Policies Consistent with a Biblical World View?

By -
A friend of mine, who is a Christian musician who was nationally prominent in the 1970's, wrote this on his Facebook page after then President Donald Trump issued his executive order on immigration early in 2017; Compassion is a Christian value and I believe an American one as well. ... , and I'd like to think basic human decency, demands that I not turn a blind eye to the suffering masses who are fleeing war ravaged regions of the world.  How exactly to meet their needs will be debated, but surely Christian folks can agree that Christ taught us to serve the least of these. Compassion shouldn't be a partisan issue.  The book of Matthew speaks to me today… "For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’  They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a...
