Why so many religious denominations in North America?

June 8, 2021 By Robert W. Caldwell III

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of articles on the various denominations in North America, written by Robert W. Caldwell III, who serves as professor of church history at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Two hundred years ago frontier revivalist Barton Stone was fed up with Presbyterianism. He found the denomination too theological, too elitist, and out of touch with the common frontier folk he ministered to in southern Kentucky. His biggest problem was that he … [Read more...]

‘T.A.G. You’re It’ podcast celebrates five years

April 19, 2021 By Michael Smith

BUFFALO – After several hundred episodes and many thousands of hours of debates, defenses, and discussions about God, the T.A.G. You’re It! Podcast, a weekly show promoting Christian apologetics—or defenses for the Gospel—is celebrating five years of online information. One of its co-hosts says, “It’s been a blast!” David Guy Van Bebber Jr. launched the program in 2017 with Adam “Ray Ray” Cochrun. The online show allows listeners to review an episode when it’s convenient and listen at … [Read more...]

Polish believer learns real meaning of Easter amid centuries of tradition

March 31, 2021 By IMB

POLAND (IMB) – For Mateusz Kowalski*, a Polish believer, Lent and the Easter holiday changed meaning when he gave Christ lordship over his life more than ten years ago. Kowalski is a member of Biblia i Misja, one of five Baptist churches in Kraków, Poland, a city of 750 thousand. An overwhelming majority of the country identifies with Roman Catholicism. Poles consider Easter their oldest and most important holiday, with traditions dating back to the 10th century. The holiday is … [Read more...]

Jesus as the only begotten

March 23, 2021 By Rob Phillips

This is another in a series of excerpts from “What Every Christian Should Know About the Trinity,” available through Amazon and other booksellers. In the previous column, we showed how Jehovah’s Witnesses twist the use of “firstborn” in Scripture to deny the deity of Christ. They also misuse the term “only begotten,” which appears several times in the Gospel of John, most notably in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him … [Read more...]

Heroes of history, heroes of faith: Christian authors introduce new generation to historic men, women

March 2, 2021 By Benjamin Hawkins

JEFFERSON CITY – For more than two decades, Janet Benge and her husband, Geoff, have made the past come alive for new generations of children through dozens of biographies published in Youth With a Mission’s (YWAM) “Heroes of History” and “Christian Heroes” book collections. With roughly 208 million books in print across the globe, in 22 different languages, they have written about Christian missionaries like Adoniram Judson, Rachel Saint, Hudson Taylor, Eric Liddell and Amy Carmichael, as … [Read more...]

Peanut-sized faith: George Washington Carver leaves legacy of faith in the Creator

February 26, 2021 By Benjamin Hawkins

DIAMOND – Faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains, the Lord Jesus once said. In the early years of the 20th century, walking through the countryside near Tuskegee , Ala., Professor George Washington Carver sought for a peanut-sized faith – and he hoped it would prove a boon for poor southern farmers. The boll weevil, a beetle ruinous for the cotton plant, was moving north from Mexico and threatening the southern United States, where farmers depended primarily on cotton. For … [Read more...]

International students hear gospel at Truman State

February 24, 2021 By Britney Lyn Hamm

KIRKSVILLE – When asked if his ministry at Truman State has always focused on reaching international students, Campus Missionary Greg Xander laughs. “Not intentionally,” he says. When he took over as BSU Director 11 years ago, reaching international students was not on his radar. “I grew up in Edina,” he says. “Population: all white.” Neither he nor his wife, Stacey, had overseas experience, nor had they known any international students when they attended Truman Gene Austin, now the … [Read more...]

Reaching the hard-to-reach in the Amazon rainforest

December 2, 2020 By Ann Lovell

Week of Prayer for International Missions: Day 4 The small group of men boards a single-engine Cessna. After a little more than a two-hour flight, they land on a small airstrip deep in the Amazon rainforest. From there they board a boat and settle in for the ride. Their destination, an isolated village of a tribe called the Akawa*, is still more than seven hours away. If this conjures memories of Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn battling mosquitoes and heat in the 1951 film “The … [Read more...]

Luther’s 500-year-old ‘On Christian Liberty’ lays foundation for modern religious freedom

October 31, 2020 By Benjamin Hawkins

WITTENBERG, Germany – In 1505, the young man Martin Luther, cowering before a thunderbolt, vowed to become a monk and a devout servant of the Catholic church under the headship of the Roman pontiff. Fifteen years later, in the summer of 1520, Pope Leo X launched his own thunderbolt at Luther in the form of an edict that denounced Luther as a “wild boar” destroying God’s “vineyard,” the Catholic church. The pope warned Luther to recant his errors within 60 days, lest he be condemned as a … [Read more...]

The doctrine of the Incarnation

May 29, 2018 By Rob Phillips

This is the first in a series of articles on the Incarnation. Lorenzo Snow, fifth president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, once claimed the Spirit of God fell upon him and revealed a principle that has become an apt summary of Mormonism: “As man now is, God once was; As God now is, man may be.” In other words, the God of this world once was a mere human who attained deity, showing us the path to our own godhood. This principle of “eternal progression” is a stunningly … [Read more...]

How false religions undermine Scripture

May 17, 2018 By Rob Phillips

Evangelicals may disagree about many things, but we stand together on the non-negotiables that define the Christian faith: The Trinity, justification by faith, and the inspiration and authority of the Scriptures, to name a few. Many false belief systems, from Mormonism to Islam, profess a high regard for the Word of God. But, in fact, they deny its inspiration, inerrancy, or preservation and thus reject the Bible as supremely authoritative. Specifically, false religions employ four … [Read more...]
