Christianity in England is becoming an anachronism. Nearly half of Britons have no idea where to find story of Creation or Jesus! - International - Catholic Online: "Goodbye Christianity, it was nice having you around, but it looks like the atheists have won. According to a report in the Daily Mail, a dwindling fraction of British children have any specific knowledge of the Bible and the Archbishop of Canterbury warns that the Church of England is now just a generation away from extinction."

'LiveStrong' Christianity

'LiveStrong' Christianity: "A couple months back I wrote about Reader's Digest Christianity, and how it reduced the Christian faith to pithy, easily-achievable goals that ensure our personal improvement. Here, I have a different (though depressingly similar) target: "LiveStrong" Christianity. LiveStrong bracelets are today even more popular than the infamous WWJD bracelets were 10 years ago, despite the public fall from grace of their namesake, Lance Armstrong."

ON CHRISTIANITY | NWAonline

ON CHRISTIANITY | NWAonline: "DEAR REV. GRAHAM: Did God put something inside us that’s supposed to tell us what’s right and what’s wrong? If He did, then why do some people not even seem to have a conscience? They go out and do terrible things without even thinking.

A.M. DEAR A.M.: Yes, God did put within each of us a sense of right and wrong - what we usually call our conscience. In fact, one reason we feel guilty when we do wrong is because our conscience is speaking to us. The Bible urges us to pursue things that come “from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith” (1 Timothy 1:5)."

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: The Titanic

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: The Titanic: "The story of the Titanic has incredibly close parallels to the biblical plan of salvation. Just as the great pleasure ship struck an iceberg and sank, this great world— with all its inhabitants—is slowly sinking into the cold grip of death. As with the Titanic, where only those passengers who believed that they were in impending danger looked to the lifeboats, so only those who
believe that they are in mortal danger will look to the Lifeboat of the Savior, Jesus Christ. The
great “iceberg” that will take the world to an icy grave is the Moral Law—the Ten Commandments."

Why Doesn't God Answer All My Prayers? | Cold Case Christianity

Why Doesn't God Answer All My Prayers? | Cold Case Christianity: "If the Christian God exists, why doesn’t he consistently answer the prayers of his followers? The prayers of devout, deserving Christians go unanswered every day. Are these unanswered prayers evidence that the Christian God simply does not exist? What does the Bible teach about the nature of prayer? Are there some prayers that God simply will not answer?"

The Comfort Zone: Word of Comfort: Mistakes and the Bible.

The Comfort Zone: Word of Comfort: Mistakes and the Bible.: "It has seeming mistakes, which, when investigated with a humble heart, prove to be our mistakes, not God’s. The death of Judas, the day Adam died, the “two” creations, the last words of Jesus, etc., all have simple explanations for those who are seeking truth. However, the majority of those who ask these questions are not seeking answers"

Obama: Religious Freedom ‘Key Objective’ for Foreign Policy, National Security

Obama: Religious Freedom ‘Key Objective’ for Foreign Policy, National Security: "President Obama pledged to continue promoting freedom of religion worldwide and called for the release of prisoners of conscience at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday.
“History shows that nations that uphold the rights of their people, including the freedom of religion, are ultimately more just and more peaceful, and more successful,” Obama said. “Nations that do not uphold these rights sow the bitter seeds of instability and violence and extremism, so freedom of religion matters to our national security.”"
