Training Camp of Love

1/31/2013

Nestled in the beautiful countryside of Spain is an Arab training camp. Not the kind of camp you have recently heard of coming out of the Arab world, but a training camp that empowers Arab Christian nationals, equipping them with the mighty Word of God.

"It is more like a school than a camp," explained 'Stephen,' the Director of Training. "Over 100 students come here annually from all over the Arab world for intensive training in Church planting and evangelism."

Dr. Samson Olasupo Ayokunle, has tasked the Nigerian government and the country's armed forces to make spirited efforts toward curtailing terror attacks on churches in the country by Boko Haram, the Islamic sect spearheading attacks against Christians.

Gay Rights Activists Can't Put the Church in the Closet

1/30/2013

There are many people today who despise conservative religious beliefs, but they are quick to say, “We don’t want to restrict your religious freedoms in any way. Just keep your beliefs in the church.” What they fail to realize is that the church is not a closet, and it is our private beliefs that fuel our public acts. Shouldn’t it be this way?

President Obama claims that it was conversations he had with his daughters, coupled with his interpretation of the teaching of Jesus, that caused him to take a public stand for same-sex “marriage” last May. Did his supporters criticize him for bringing his private beliefs into the public square? (If anyone could be criticized for this, it is the President of the United States, because of his massive powers and influence.)

New Biography on Voices from the Past - John Chrysostom

Boy Scouts Could be Poised to Reverse Gay Leader Policy

1/29/2013

The Boy Scouts of America is seriously considering lifting its ban on gay and lesbian troop leaders and could make the change official the first few days of February, a move that likely will disappoint Southern Baptist churches and many faith-based organizations that comprise a majority of all sponsors.

About 70 percent of all Boy Scout units are chartered by faith-based organizations, and the Boy Scouts national organization just six months ago reaffirmed its policy on homosexual leaders following a two-year review.
