Chick-Fil-A Takes A Stand On Gay Marriage And Still Passes KFC In Sales - Christian Blog - Christian Blog: "Move over KFC, you have competition. Wait a minute, that didn’t sound right. Let me say it this way. There’s a new champion on the block when it comes to fried chicken in the U.S. For so long, when people thought about fried chicken, a certain image of an old man in a white suit arrested their attention.

After-School Program Tells Student He is Not Allowed to Read Bible, Threatens Confiscation | Vision to America
After-School Program Tells Student He is Not Allowed to Read Bible, Threatens Confiscation | Vision to America: "If schools and school-related groups are going to enforce the so-called “establishment” clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution, it is incumbent on them to learn what the law says and doesn’t say. This issue arose last week when a lunch room supervisor at a Florida elementary school erroneously told a five-year-old she was not allowed to pray before partaking of her noonday meal."

What does the Bible say about optimism?
What does the Bible say about optimism?: "Answer: Optimism is “the tendency to expect the best possible outcome or to dwell on the most hopeful aspects of a situation.” Optimists usually feel that “good things” will happen in the future or that what they hope and dream for will happen. By nature, most people tend toward either optimism or pessimism, regardless of their relationship with God. Everyone’s glass is either “half full” or “half empty.” So, optimism is not necessarily the same as faith in God. It can be a natural personality trait that has nothing to do with faith."

We had heard a lot of feedback, mostly negative, from Christian leaders who were able to see the movie a little early. The director's comment that it would be "the least biblical biblical movie ever made" also caught our attention."

Question of the Week: "Answer: It is entirely true that the one verse in the Bible that contains the exact phrase “faith alone” seems to argue against salvation by faith alone. James 2:24 reads, “You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone” (ESV). "

Why the Gospel of Jesus Christ without the Resurrection Isn't Good News ? Whatever Happened to the Resurrection?’ - Crossmap Christian News | Church & Ministries: "Have you ever wondered how much thought is given to commemorating lent and remembering the death of Christ and how much we actually think about when Jesus rose from the dead and how crucial that momentous event is to the whole gospel story?
