Missionary Pioneer Elisabeth Elliot Passes Through Gates of Splendor
One of the most influential Christian women of the 20th century, Elisabeth Elliot, has died.
In one of the first issues of CT, Elliot wrote: “We have proved beyond any doubt that He means what He says—His grace is sufficient, nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. We pray that if any, anywhere, are fearing that the cost of discipleship is too great, that they may be given... Continue Reading
Report: UN Peacekeepers Pay Impoverished Local Women for Sex
Sexual exploitation of local populations by members of United Nations peacekeeping forces is “quite common but underreported
In 2014, investigators interviewed 231 women in Haiti who said they’d had transactional sexual relationships with UN peacekeepers. “For rural women, hunger, lack of shelter, baby care items, medication, and household items were frequently cited as the ‘triggering need,’” the report said. Urban and suburban women received “church shoes,” cellphones, laptops, and perfume, as well... Continue Reading
The Case of Caitlyn and the Church
If he came to Jesus, he would find forgiveness and a new life but probably not find himself "fixed"
“I know that Christian communities are often not the places where we can “come out ” – to be transparent, to acknowledge the things with which we struggle. That is something that needs to be fixed in the Christian church. But when we “come out” it is not that we are to be “proud of... Continue Reading
A Day Late, A Dollar Short
Tony Campolo's statement is emblematic of the way evangelical attitudes are likely to change.
The saddest part of Campolo’s change of mind, however, is that it will not be enough, as early responses from the gay community already indicate. Even a moment’s reflection on the Bruce Jenner affair or a casual conversation with a teenager would reveal to him that the gay issue is, as far as the secular... Continue Reading
The President Once More Declares Traditional Christians to Be Bigots and Enemies of the State
According to our president, that makes those of us who question the "proud legacy" are proponents of prejudice and deniers of diversity who must be bullied into silence.
On and on the list goes, and it will only get worse because Supreme Court appointees (mostly of Obama and Clinton) will ensure that “gay marriage” becomes the law of the land, even though such action is clearly legislating from the bench without constitutional authority. Christians who previously cast their ballot for politicians who promoted... Continue Reading
Friendly Fire: When Christian General Prays, All Hell Breaks Loose
The Air Force was right to dismiss a small-minded interest group's attack on a Christian general
Allegedly, Olson violated this AF Instruction by saying, “I’m thankful that I’m a redeemed believer in Christ,” and by stating his belief that God has many times enabled him to accomplish his specific missions and to execute the Air Force mission, despite having never received training for certain tasks and earning poor marks at the...

“Will I Be Fully Accepted At Your Church As A Gay Man?”
A response to the question: “Would I be fully accepted with no judgment and fully welcome and able to serve at” your church?
If by “I am a gay man” you mean that you struggle with same-sex attraction, recognizing any sexual activity outside of a covenant marriage between a man and a woman is sinful and that you desire Christian discipleship to walk in line with the Gospel as you struggle with this temptation, then we would rejoice...

Nelson Rockefeller As Social Gospel Christian
The new biography of Nelson Rockefeller presents enough tidbits to imply that he was a Social Gospel Christian, a product of targeted philanthropy and devotion to liberal Protestantism.
Supposedly former Governor Tom Dewey once told Rockefeller, “I like you but I can’t afford you.” Across nearly sixteen years Rockefeller taxed, borrowed and spent, building highways, hospitals, schools, museums and an ever more expansive social welfare state. He had every confidence that few social problems could not be solved with enough funding and the... Continue Reading
