This is the first time I have ever shared this in whole, I have however shared portions before. I offer this thesis as it was presented to my Church History professor in 2008, minus the bibliography or credits. This is somewhat long, but I have been told by others it flows well, so it doesn't seem as long. I'll let you decide if that is true. Mind you, I was not as polished at writing back then, so if you see any egregious errors in my punctuation or grammar you will know why. I pray everyone enjoys it, and please...

Wait! We thought it was those scary right-wing Christian nationalists who were dragging their religion into politics! So what the heck was Joe Scarborough up to on today's Morning Joe, when he echoed some Bible verses about the coming of Jesus, but invoked it to celebrate Democrats having a couple of good weeks in the presidential race? "Gene Robinson, before we get to the news of the day, behold, you bring tidings of good news to Democrats east, west, north, and south, for unto them is born the reason for exuberance." Get the rest of the story and view the...

“Christians should stand up.” By simply making that assertion on social media, police—accompanied by a head shrink—“visited” and questioned a man in his home in Australia (video here). The man had made that assertion on social media following the stabbing of an Orthodox bishop by a Muslim inside a Sydney church. As the man can be heard questioning the police, This is religious discrimination, right now, you know? Because you wouldn’t be knocking on Muslims’ doors if they had this conversation—so I already know why you’re here. This is religious discrimination.

It's a 1 hour 10 minute message with no punches pulled. The sermon starts with the video clip from Butler, PA of the attempted assassination. How many churches showed the clip yesterday of the attempted assassination on Saturday? How many churches in American even mentioned the attempted assassination yesterday? I would dare say that 95% plus of us Freepers have never heard a sermon like this. By the way, this is from a church in California. A Call to a Solemn Assembly Sermon Notes

“Of all the passions, the passion for the Inner Ring is most skillful in making a man who is not yet a very bad man do very bad things.” -CS Lewis Like all demons, he was obsessed with children. Shedding their blood was preferable. Failing that, he could always cut them up, scalp them, sexualize them, incite them to a sexual frenzy, or castrate them. The possibilities were endless, and exciting. Demonic appetite never ceases, and Mephistopheles was hungry. To satisfy his lust, he would need a megalomaniac with a Promethean drive; someone appointed in high places and thus able...

Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre went to church last Sunday, not once, not twice, but three times — to three evangelical churches in the Toronto area where he briefly participated in the services, made a short political speech and moved on. The three churches are all in ridings held by Liberal MPs and the congregants are mostly members of ethnic minority communities, which makes these visits smart politics for a campaigning Conservative leader. But observers say these visits are also groundbreakers if only because leaders of mainstream Canadian political parties have long avoided public events with evangelical Christians for fear those...

It is one of the strengths of our American culture that we know how to make everything bigger and better. It is one of the weaknesses of the American church that we apply this same mentality to our pastors and leaders. We know how to turn servants into superstars!

The singular difference between the United States and all the nations that had gone before was its open, explicit recognition of natural rights, the idea that all humans are created equal and granted unalienable rights by their Creator. And that, therefore, governments can’t arbitrarily and capriciously take those rights away, as has happened in virtually all monarchical and totalitarian governments throughout history. If that is the “godliness” that so disturbs the MSNBC talking head, so be it. The founders did not intend for the United States to be an overtly Christian nation, in terms of an official, government sanctioned religion....

Dolly’s right that all should be treated with love and kindness, but when we refuse to label sin a sin, we’re doing more harm than good. Fifty years after her original rise to stardom, Dolly Parton has released her highest-charting album and is more beloved than ever before. Initially known for her songwriting skills and beauty, Parton has entered her golden years as a “secular American saint.” In a world where division is the default, she collects fans of every political stripe, refusing to denigrate anyone, and regularly proclaims, “I love everybody,” when asked how she does it. This response...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — George Barna, a leading expert in church and worldview trends, has weighed in on some of the biggest issues facing the Church — including the steady decrease in a biblical worldview and dwindling concern for spiritual formation — at a time of "Christian invisibility in our culture." .... “People have become more selfish, churches have become less influential, pastors have become less Bible-centric,” Barna, who now serves as the director of research at the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, said.

The United Methodist Church in the Ivory Coast voted on May 28 to exit the denomination in response to the church’s decision to approve gay pastors and same-sex marriage at its governing General Conference earlier this month. In 2022, this conference reportedly had over 1.2 million members. So, its departure means over one tenth of United Methodism has—in one day—left the denomination. “For reasons of conscience before God and His word, the supreme authority in matters of faith and life,” the annual conference of the United Methodist Church of Ivory Coast (EMUCI, Eglise Méthodiste Unie Côte d’Ivoire), gathered for an...

To locate Joe Biden’s electoral problem, you need only to look on Sunday morning. Polling shows the mass-attending Catholic president trails Donald Trump by 10 points among those who attend religious services a few times a year or more. The score is reversed with voters who report they seldom or never attend church, with Biden leading by 10. It’s the starkest divide in the electorate – and one that political journalists rarely mention, perhaps because, as a profession, journalists are more removed from religion than the average American. Trump’s advantage with white evangelical Protestants is widely understood, but he also...

In corporate America today, there’s a permission structure in place to attack, defame, and destroy anyone who dares to be publicly Christian.It didn’t take long for the NFL to come out and condemn recent remarks from Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, saying his views, given during a commencement speech at Benedictine College over the weekend, “are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.”What horrible, non-inclusive things did the 28-year-old Butker say? He committed the crime of giving public witness to his faith, espousing...

'These heroes were callously tossed aside'.. Multiple times already Colorado, led by homosexual Democrat Gov. Jared Polis, has been cited for its "hostility" to Christianity.

Both times the state got slapped hard by the U.S. Supreme Court. Now it's another court, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and a division of the state, the University of Colorado, That court now has ruled that CU's Anshutz School of Medicine's policies that...

Actor Rob Schneider, who recently converted to Catholicism, announced he’s working on a new film about the Shroud of Turin. A printing (right) and a negative (left) of the Shroud of Turin. Photo Credit: אסף.צ, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons If you are unfamiliar with The Shroud of Turin it is believed to be the burial shroud that wrapped the body of Jesus Christ after his Crucifixion.
