Iconic Southern Baptist Pastor Charles F. Stanley, who led the 13,000-member First Baptist Church Atlanta in Georgia for more than 40 years before retiring last September, wants the world to know that he has not started a CBD oil business, and any claims that he has can be dismissed as a “scam.” “In Touch Ministries has received reports that scammers have been posting Dr. Charles Stanley’s image, falsely reporting that Dr. Stanley is beginning a new business venture in CBD oil. Some of the articles even utilize fake Fox News headers to appear more convincing. However, none of it is...

Andy Stanley, son of famous pastor Charles Stanley, is a serial blasphemer and idolater who twists God’s Word — whenever he even discusses it — and uses it to create a false church built around a false gospel and a false Jesus. Andy Stanly has made a number of dubious claims about the Christian faith and in particular, the Scriptures. Famously stating that Christianity needs to “unhitch” from the Old Testament, he told his audience that the Ten Commandments don’t apply to Christians. He’s flopped on homosexuality — telling the mother of an openly-gay and practicing girl that her daughter...

I was flipping channels and came across Dr. Charles Stanley preaching a sermon. I am, in general, suspicious of TV preachers. But Stanley came across as the real deal. Anyone care to offer opionions on his ministry?

Lighthouse Trails has watched in dismay over the past few years as Charles Stanley’s In Touch magazine has made the decision to promote contemplative/emergent names. When our editors picked up a copy of the August 2013 issue and saw a feature article written by Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, we decided to call In Touch Ministries to find out who was responsible for the content in the magazine. Sadly, the response we received from the editorial department at In Touch left us with a sinking feeling that the evangelical church has been seduced and there was no turning back. We’ll talk about the...

"God has called us to take a stand and appeal to Him on behalf of our country. And as we courageously fight the battle for the soul of our country on our knees, we must remember that He continues to rule over the affairs of this nation and will hear us when we humble ourselves, turn from our sins, and seek His face."

ATLANTA - Two of the biggest churches in metro Atlanta will take the day off this Christmas since it falls on a Sunday. First Baptist Church of Atlanta -- led by the Reverend Charles Stanley -- and North Point Community Church in Alpharetta -- led by his son, Andy Stanley -- say they want to allow their staff, volunteers and congregation to celebrate the birth of Jesus in other ways. They join a handful of churches around the nation that will close. Historically, attendance is low when Christmas falls on Sunday. That's partly because people go out of town to...

<p>WASHINGTON — President Bush says his religious faith is helping him deal with the challenges of the presidency, and he credits the Bible with inspiring him to push for federal funding to fight AIDS. In an interview appearing next week in the October issue of Ladies' Home Journal, Bush says it is possible to function in the presidency without believing in God, and probably some of his predecessors did not believe in God, but he finds that faith helps.</p>

Very appropriate sermon for our country to stand behind. Gives good ground why the anti-war protestors are ignorant to the truth. Charles Stanley makes a powerful statement to all those that oppose this war. "Winning in Warfare A - Mon 03-31-03" "Winning in Warfare B - Tue 04-01-03"

Larry King Live - Christians Debate War

Any of you Christian’s out there happen to watch Charles Stanley’s InTouch program this morning entitled a “A Nation at War”? It was a pretty good message about when War is and is not justifies as per the Bible. Charles was kind of getting worked up there at the end talking about the protestors :). It’s a must see sermon. Two thumbs up! Actually started to bring tears to my eyes a few times (don’t tell anyone). If you missed it on the tube, you can see it on RealPlayer/MediaPlayer at: www.intouch.org/War/index_38027182.html
