Why in the world would someone believe in hell? And what exactly does it mean to “believe” in hell? These are a couple of the questions we want to answer in this ten-part series of posts. We’ve looked at REASON #1 — I got saved out of a fear of hell. We’ve also thought about […] Go to the article

Here’s an excerpt from The Parable of the Tenants , Charles K. Telfer's contribution to the February issue of Tabletalk : No man was braver than our Lord Jesus. Right to their face and at the risk of His life, He exposed the evil intentions of the self-engrossed leaders of the people of God in His generation. Ironically, our passage ends with these chief priests seeking to arrest Him (Matt. 21:45–46), thereby practicing precisely the kind of hard-hearted grasping that Jesus condemned in the story. Jesus’ strong actions (driving vendors from the temple) and words of coming judgment (the neighboring stories of the cursing of the fig tree and the parables of the two sons and the wedding feast) are weapons in the battle against the religious establishment He had been fighting since He entered Jerusalem.

What do riding a bike and translating the Bible have in common? One of the joys of working in Africa is discovering the richness of her languages. Across the continent, these languages are full of intriguing proverbs. For example: ‘The fruits of the labor of a lazy person cannot be eaten.’ ‘He who earns his living in the sun eats in the shade.’ ‘I pointed out to you the stars and all you saw was the tip of my finger.’ Words paint wonderful pictures, and few know how to paint a better picture than Samuel Mubbala. Sam is translating God’s word into the Lugwere language of Uganda. He has been involved in trials using a computer adaptation software program, Adapt It. By using the program, translators can create an initial draft (pre-draft) that will help them get started more quickly on the challenging work of Bible translation. Trials have been conducted using Adapt It on Bantu languages in Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda. Recently Sam was asked if he found the program boring or...

International (MNN) -- Many ministries focus on how they can bring the Gospel to a population of people known as “the unreached.” But who qualifies for that name? How unreached are the unreached? According to Ed Weaver of Spoken Worldwide, “At least in the terms that I think [are] generally accepted in mission circles, it would be 2% or less evangelical believers in a given population or people group.” This definition operates on the idea that if a people group’s evangelical population rea Go to the article

That’s a rhetorical question, right?  Unfortunately, no.  Many would debate whether newborns have a right to life – and just such a debate will ensue in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday when the body votes on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S. 311).  Make your voice heard today by asking your senators to vote for life! When it comes to infants born during attempted abortions, some actually believe it’s okay to kill a newborn.  You may recall Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s infamous wor Go to the article
