But their efforts won’t work because the kids already know sending... Read More
Jim Tonkowich has some profound, well-balanced reflections on the missionaries in Haiti who were arrested on human trafficking charges:
I don't pretend to know the details of Ms. Silsby's story, why she made the decisions she did, what motivated her, how she made plans and sought to execute them.... Read More
According to the New York Times, a growing number of evangelical churches are embracing Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) -- a sport with a reputation for violence, blood and “no holds barred” caged fighting -- to reach young men and convert them to Christ. According to one pastor, the goal "is to inject... Read More
In his book The Hidden Smile of God: The Fruit of Affliction in the Lives of John Bunyan, William Cowper, and David Brainerd, pastor John Piper reflects on one lesson Christians in the West sorely need to learn from William Cowper’s difficult life:

This excellent political analysis by Jeff Bergner touches only briefly on matters of faith. Still, I think it's a good read for Christians.

On the morning of the National Prayer Breakfast, which President Obama is attending, the Washington Post offers a glimpse into the president's spiritual life.
