How Churches Are Taking Responsibility and Acting Carefully

While its fashionable among the media to cite outliers who spurn the guidelines for their state, more churches by far are following the model of Calvary Chapel in both caring for their community and honoring those in authority. In the wake of the NY Times article which was critical of churches in the ongoing pandemic, I thought it would be helpful to offer examples of churches that are going above and beyond both to minister to their people and communities and to honor the guidelines in their va Go to the article

Does healing still happen today?

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of seeing much in the way of healing. I’ve been in meetings where people have been prayed for who walked for the first time, or whose hearing was restored. I’ve seen arthritis disappear, legs lengthened, epilepsy healed. (It’s not that I prayed for most of these people–just that I witnessed these things first hand.) I used to have a heart arrhythmia that would occur several times per day. Once it went on for so long I nearly went to the E.R. Alth Go to the article

He was born in the 1320s and died in 1384 and, for much of his life, he was a theologian, lecturer and academic at Oxford University.

What Is “Systemic Racism”?

The post What Is “Systemic Racism”? appeared first on Anglican Mainstream. by Joseph Pearce, The Imaginative Conservative: If there is one thing which is currently obsessing large swathes of the ideologically globalized world, it is the scourge of systemic racism. It is a matter of unquestioned dogma that such systemic racism is widespread and that it must be purged from society. To question this unquestionable dogma is a heresy which is punishable by the unleashing of the lynch mob. This be Go to the article

In a piece at National Review, Koren said about 10 million people are at risk of imminent starvation in Yemen, but because the relief agreement did not include electiv Go to the article

Choose to Believe the Best of People Who Disagree With You

My nickname in high school was “Oreo.” According to my white friends—and later, to my black friends—I was “white on the inside, black on the outside.” This label was mostly a result of the way I talked. I didn’t “sound black,” they’d tell me. I would laugh at this label back in high school, mostly because I didn’t know how else to react. How does one react when outnumbered and trying to fit in? My laughter, I later reflected, was actually a survival mechanism. It was my fo Go to the article

Freedom from sin and sickness?

I’ve recently been re-reading Christ the Healer by F. F. Bosworth (the second time through in the last three months). An excellent book on healing. Bosworth continuously raises the question, is physical healing part of Christ’s redemptive work on the cross? His conclusion is, yes, Christ died to redeem us physically as well as spiritually. We can experience healing from sickness and disease as well as forgiveness of sin. Since putting into practice some of the principles he describes, a pa Go to the article

Visions Becoming Reality

The parched ground shall become a pool… — Isaiah 35:7 We always have a vision of something before it actually becomes real to us. When we realize that the vision is real, but is not yet real in us, Satan comes to us with his temptations, and we are inclined to say that there is no point in even trying… Go to the article
