My Jesus, I Love You; Your Bride I Despise!

“Professing love for Christ but little for the church makes about as much sense as saying you like me and want to spend time with me, but really can’t stand my wife and would prefer not to have her around. You can imagine the response you’d get if you invited me around for dinner, and then added, ‘but please leave Louise at home. We really want nothing to do with her. It’s only you we want to get to know. It’s only you we want to spend time with’.”

The Changing Global Religious Landscape

How Can a Christian Use the Imprecatory Psalms? (Video)

Dr. Miles Van Pelt tells how Christians can best make use of those tricky psalms.

Pastor, Don’t Waste Your Exclamation Points

“Pastor, our people don’t usually get excited about what we tell them to be excited about. Have you figured that out yet? Instead, they get excited about what they see actually excites us.”

‘Bible Answer Man’ Converts to Orthodoxy

CRI’s Hank Hanegraaff joined the Greek Orthodox Church on Palm Sunday. Christianity Today tells why. (Also, AiG explains how Eastern Orthodoxy is different.)

Flashback: The Bestsellers: Your Best Life Now

“Yes, Osteen talks about God throughout, but it is not the God of the Bible he has in mind. Osteen’s God is little more than the mechanism that gives the power to positive thinking.”

We are more sure to arise out of our graves than out of our beds.

—Thomas Watson
