What’s so ‘Good’ about ‘Good Friday?’-CR Classic
It’s a paradox. God willingly sacrifices Himself for the humanity that boastfully, gleefully kills Him. It makes no sense. There was absolutely no beauty in the torture, the pain, the blood, the death. Everything we hope for in a Savior is savagely obliterated in the violent scene played out in Jerusalem. And yet… We can’t not look at the […]
Who’s On Trial, Here?
Was it a legal hatchet-job? A tragedy of cosmic proportions? Or something else, altogether? The trial of Jesus for sedition stands out in history as a seemingly unexplainable injustice. But that’s really not the message God intended. What He did intend, and accomplished, goes far beyond our wildest expectations. Today Norm takes a very different look at the […]
Ukraine: Worship on the Frontlines, Pt. 2
‘God never wastes a crisis.’ Fred Heumann has personally learned that this is true. Today in Ukraine, a pivotal nation to the future of Christianity in the heart of Asia, a great awakening is happening among the Orthodox and Evangelical Believers of Ukraine. In the face of foreign aggression, they are lifting high the Cross […]
Ukraine: Worship on the Frontlines, Pt. 1
Worship is the frontline of Spiritual Warfare. Any good Worship Leader will tell you so. By theology and experience we know that spiritual strongholds don’t fall by the force of compelling logic, but by a mighty move of God’s Holy Spirit softening hearts and bending wills toward TRUTH. One person who knows the power of worship is Fred […]
Prayer, Penetrating the Impossible
How far can prayer take you? All the way to Heaven? Indeed. Today, it has done that very thing as our own Dr. Norm Nelson has ‘Graduated to Glory.’ We can’t think of a better tribute to the powerful, faithful, prayerful witness that has been Norm’s life. It seems impossible that we no longer have our Anchor […]
Under Cover in South Asia, Pt. 3
How is God changing lives in the tumultuous and wartorn parts of the world? Well, ‘Sarah’ can tell us. She and her husband were born and raised in some of the most troubled places in South Asia. What can we expect from people like that?’ Well, once Jesus got ahold of them, we can expect […]
Under Cover in South Asia, Pt. 2
‘Sarah’ joins Bram a second day for a powerful insider’s look at how the Gospel is transforming lives right in the middle of the violence and hopelessness gripping much of the nations of South Asia.
Under Cover in South Asia, Pt. 1
‘Sarah’ and her husband are directly involved in transformative ministry. That term is bandied out lightly these days, but in this case, we truly mean ‘transformative.’ Why? Because their lives are on the line, each and every day. And not just them – if word got out about the hundreds they currently disciple, they’d be […]
Eastern Spirituality Gives No Answer
Michael Austin followed a path designed to ‘kill the mind.’ He almost succeeded. But then God… well, He had other plans. Now Michael is on a whole new journey and he’s bringing others along with him.
I Am ‘N’
Faithful followers of Christ in the Middle East are being marked for extermination, their property seized as spoils of war. And the symbol of this insidious hate is painted boldly in red across walls all over Syria and Iraq. One Arabic letter is all it takes to destroy everything a family has built. So why […]
