Christian News Headlines

Christian News Headlines: "No one enjoys being criticized. It’s a bruise to our egos and frustrating when our best efforts are being slammed. But not all criticism is bad. In fact, the Bible tells us, “wounds from a friend can be trusted” (Prov. 27:6). If you’re a leader—whether it be in a business, church, community, or anywhere else—you have the responsibility to talk to your critics and respond thoughtfully to their complaints and concerns."

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Evolution is a fact.

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Evolution is a fact.: "“Evolution is a proven fact.”

The burden of proof lies with the believer in evolution, but there is no proof because nothing can be observed. How can that which supposedly happened millions of years ago be observed?  It is all founded on faith in men’s ideas, old bones, and in fallible dating methods. If you don’t believe that, seewww.evolutionVsGod.com and let evolutionary experts tell you."

Media Ignores Chick-fil-A's Christian Charity in Ice Storm

Media Ignores Chick-fil-A's Christian Charity in Ice Storm: "Two years ago Chick-fil-A made national headlines when company president Dan Cathy spoke out in support of traditional marriage.  Liberals and gays came unglued and launched massive protests against the restaurant chain.  Several mayors spoke out saying they would not allow any more Chick-fil-As to be built in their cities.  They tried boycotting the Christian owned company, but that backfired.  Instead, Chick-fil-A had a world record day with many locations selling out of food to the hundreds of thousands of supporters."

How should a Christian respond to all the negativity out there?

How should a Christian respond to all the negativity out there?: " Negativity is nothing new. Since Adam and Eve were first banished from the garden, life has been hard and we have been complaining about it (Genesis 3:23). It is the nature of sinful humans to live for ourselves and to complain when our desires are not being met (Galatians 5:19–20). We tend to argue for our “rights,” demand our way, and oppose anyone who disagrees with us. That combination results in a general spirit of negativity toward the world and life in general. It is understandable if those who do not know Christ are negative. They have no hope of anything beyond this world and its confusion. But negativity in a Christian’s attitude means he is refusing to see life from God’s perspective. When we join in with hostility, pride, and complaining, we are reacting the same way unbelievers do."

Question of the Week

Question of the Week: "Answer: Science is defined as "the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena." Science is a method that mankind can use to gain a greater understanding of the natural universe. It is a search for knowledge through observation. Advances in science demonstrate the reach of human logic and imagination. However, a Christian's belief in science should never be like our belief in God. A Christian can have faith in God and respect for science, as long as we remember which is perfect and which is not."
