    Should Protestants share a stage with Catholics at worship events?

    I love Roman Catholics and I believe that there are many Christians within their ranks, but, because of major theological issues, I don’t believe that we can share the stage at worship events.

    Is a picture worth a thousand words? A lesson for conservatives and charismatics

    I was recently asked for my take on the controversy surrounding Francis Chan speaking at what some call “questionable events.” Why is emotional worship, nights of prayer, and pressing into God viewed as fanatical when these things are actually biblical?

    Women pastors — What does the Bible say?

    Let me begin by saying that I know and appreciate many women who have been recognized as pastors. But in our passion to promote women (something I wholeheartedly agree with), have we overstepped the Scriptures?

    The struggle is real — passive and pushy pastors

    The number of prominent pastors stepping down because they are very controlling and manipulating, and creating a culture of fear and intimidation, appears to have reached new heights these days.

    Wake Up Christians — Silence Is Not an Option

    We don't have to compromise our principles to be involved in politics—what good is salt left in the shaker, or a light that is hidden? "Politics" is not a bad word.

  • A Shocking Truth About School Violence

    A Shocking Truth About School Violence

    Like many, I am deeply concerned about school violence. A massive shift has occurred. Talking, chewing gum and making noise were the top three public school problems in the early 1960s. Currently, rape, robbery and assault could lead the list.

  • Should the Church Avoid Politics?

    Should the Church Avoid Politics?

    Before Fox News and CNN, the pulpit was where people acquired their information. Spurgeon preached against slavery. Martin Luther went against the political leaders of that day.

  • Christians Who Don't Speak Out on Politics Are Cowards

    Christians Who Don't Speak Out on Politics Are Cowards

    Where does this "don't get involved" mentality come from? Unfortunately, it comes from men and women who are cowards or who are ignorant to what God's Word says—they stay camped out in the "love verses" but not on the totality of Scripture.
