But the more you have, the more you have to worry about. So, what do you suppose Jesus wanted to teach His disciples when He sent them out "without a wallet, bag, or sandals'? Author Cynthia Ruchti asks: "Was He showing them He was all they would ever need? Did He want them to learn dependence on Him? Was He instructing them in the humility…...

He writes in this article for CBN News that in the digital age, evangelism is undergoing significant change. A NEW WAVE OF EVANGELISM When you hear the word "evangelist, you might typically think of figures like Billy Graham or Luis Palau, speakers on massive stages, filling stadiums with sound. As an evangelist who trained under them, I know this well. I've traveled the world sharing the Gospel. I understand the immense power of that scale. But today, there's a new wave of evangelism, particularly among Gen Z. And it looks a lot different than it did for older generations. They're typically not filling stadiums. They aren't evangelising on TV or at mass rallies,…...

An Anglican Church bishop in Queensland's north has said that his 11 Pacific Islander ministers, serving the region's parishes, are saving those parishes from collapse, ABC reported on Nov. 23.

Still, Christian migrants from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Pacific have tempered the decline in the faith's followers....

1+ week, 5+ day ago (149+ words) Because singing is worship, it isn't ultimately for us; it's for God. We sing for a divine audience." We don't approach God on our terms or according to our preferences. He invites us to worship him on his terms." Too often we'treat the music in our churches as if it's there to cater to our preferences, meet our needs, or give us a certain feeling. But that's putting ourselves at the center of our songs. If you don't like your church's music, that's okay. It's not really for you. It's a vehicle for you to bless God's name with other redeemed sinners." Putting aside our deeply held preferences and musical tastes in order to sing together is one expression of that love [in John 13:35]."

Humble hearts yield to the sweet influences of grace, and so it is bestowed on them more and more largely. Humble hearts lie in the valleys where streams of grace are flowing, and hence they drink of them. Humble hearts are grateful for grace and give the Lord the glory of it, and hence it is consistent with His honor to give it to them. Come, dear reader, take a lowly place.

2+ week, 2+ day ago (463+ words) USA (MNN) " In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital access in U.S. prisons skyrocketed. One tool stood out: tablets. Soon, correctional facilities began deploying secure tablets by the thousands. Prisoners For Christ (PFC) recognized the ministry opportunity early. They eventually connected with Pando, a closed-access app owned and operated by God Behind Bars out of Nevada. In January 2025, PFC began uploading Christian books, sermons, Bible teachings, and Gospel videos. Mike North, Vice President of Communications at PFC, says, "We've been on there almost a year, and the response has been incredible. It's been greater than we ever imagined!" Tablets in prison aren't like civilian devices. Inmates cannot freely access the Internet or search random websites. Instead, usage is heavily restricted to pre-approved apps such as Pando and other monitored content platforms. That control ensures safety while allowing ministries like PFC…...

Naturally, I was the director. My grandparents' house had a large brick fireplace'a perfect, potentially hazardous stage. The youngest cousins served as central casting. Every Christmas, we'd all scurry to the basement to plan our living-room performance. After squabbling about roles, songs, and costumes for what seemed like hours, we emerged, calling all the adults to attention. We played bells and sang "Frosty the Snowman" and "Angels We Have Heard on High." Depending on our commitment level, there might be a choreographed dance number or one-act play. Somewhere in a storage room, video recordings of our performances are gathering dust. It's always seemed obvious to me that families should create things'silly, corny, half-baked'together. These days, I…...
