The 79-year-old actor said characters like Bush, as well as Sledge and Dewey, deserve time on the movie screen—with all their flaws and complexities—to reflect the rich spiritual and cultural stew of Southern culture. “They should be shown, should be seen, should be portrayed but ... with contradictions,” he said, noting that even peace-loving Jesus chased moneychangers out of the temple with a whip. It’s the kind of portrayal that isn’t often seen in Hollywood, said Craig Detweiler, director of the Center for Entertainment, Media and Culture at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif. “By dignifying seemingly common people, he’s also...

Each night, evangelist Laurie offered the thousands at the stadium and watching via webcast the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ and to do it publicly. While other religions of the world essentially tell followers what "to do," Laurie stressed that Christianity, in contrast, says "done, not do." "Do you think that God, the Father, would have allowed His son to suffer like this if good works got us to heaven?" he posed. "Christ died in our place ... so we can be pardoned for the wrongs we have done." He said on the final night, "That's the hope Christians have...

As I was sitting alone in the cafeteria one afternoon, far from home, overwhelmed and lonely on a campus of 20,000 students, an older student walked up, smiled, and asked if he could join me. He took a seat as I prepared to engage him in a heady discussion of politics, philosophy, science. Thrilled to have the company, I was mentally preparing for anything he threw at me. Glancing up from his plate of spaghetti, he asked, “Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior?” Stunned, I was completely at a loss for a response. “Um, yeah,...

"Our salvation is a promise." Dr. D. James Kennedy has gone to his Savior, in "a better country," but Coral Ridge Ministries goes on. And they are a beacon that belies the false, dualist and humanist maxim of separation of Christianity from politics (or from any other responsibility of each individual). Their broadcast for today is entitled, "Keeping our Promises." How long it will be playable on the 'net I do not know, but it is, today. Dr. Kennedy, like so many stand-out Christians of a century soaked by Marxists in their myriad victims' blood, was unabashed at warning those...

" John Calvin…is looked upon now, of course, a theologian only, but he was really one of the greatest of gospel preachers. When Calvin opened the Book and took a text, you might be sure that he was about to preach "Through grace are ye saved, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." CH SPURGEON (14:216) Like his dear Lord Jesus, John Calvin has often been wounded in the house of his friends. Some Christians - who should rejoice in his ministry - practically hate him as much as Rome ever did. All manner of...

Four Christians were arrested and thrown out of a public Arab festival in Michigan – and at least two people claim a crowd cheered "Allahu Akbar!" while the Christians were led away in handcuffs for doing nothing more than engaging in peaceful dialogue and videotaping the event. Nabeel Qureshi, David Wood, Paul Rezkalla and 18-year-old Negeen Mayel attended the 15th annual Dearborn Arab International Festival on June 18 in Dearborn, Mich., where an estimated 30,000 of the city's 98,000 residents are Muslim. The American Arab Chamber of Commerce announced the event was expected to draw "over 300,000 people from across...

“But your hearts must be fully committed to the Lord our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time.” 1 Kings 8:61 (NIV) I am in the latter half of my fifth decade. Recently, I told a friend that even if I had several hundred years to live, I would never be able to reach all of the goals that I have set for myself. I realize, however, that my goals may not be the same as God’s plans for my life, and I’m okay with that. The following poem, often recited by Dr....

Just after the First World War, an Anglican diocese was established in Lagos in Nigeria. Ninety-one years later, it has become the largest active Protestant church body in the world. Much of the growth of the Anglican Church of Nigeria, however, occurred during the last two decades. From 24 dioceses in 1988, the church has grown to 156 dioceses. Every Sunday, the Church of Nigeria gathers 20 million people in worship of Jesus Christ. The 22-year period of the dramatic growth of the Church of Nigeria coincides with the terms of the last two primates, or heads of the church....

The famed evangelist is dealing with a number of health woes but his spokesman said he wants to preach again. "At 91 years of age, he realizes that he's quite possibly in the sunset years of his life," A. Larry Ross told Asheville Citizen-Times.

Though Graham has expressed his desire to deliver a sermon, Ross said the time, location and format have not been...
