Walk into any church on Sunday morning, and you’ll hear the question whispered somewhere in the room: Does it really matter how we worship? Some people raise hands under blue stage lights; others bow heads beneath stained glass. I’ve heard the same conversation for decades, in sanctuaries and staff meetings alike—and I’ve learned that what…
I am sick of watching the church twist the gospel. The latest obsession is wokeness in the church — leaders parade terms like “whiteness” and “blackness” as though they were biblical categories, then build strategies around them. But the apostles never framed the faith that way. They preached Christ crucified, repentance for sin, and reconciliation…
Walk into ten different churches on a Sunday morning, and you may feel like you’ve stepped into ten different worlds. One church greets you with stained glass, hymnals, and a robed choir. Another pulls you into dimmed lights, a stage band, and lyrics projected across the wall. People call one a traditional church and the…
Walk into a hundred churches across America on Sunday morning, and you’ll see a split. Some gather under stained-glass windows, singing hymns to the sound of an organ. Others meet in repurposed gyms, lights dimmed, lyrics projected, bands on stage. People call the first a traditional church and the second a contemporary church. The assumption…
We’ve never lived in a time quite like this. Artificial intelligence isn’t just another tool; it’s reshaping everything from business to medicine to government. Some people are thrilled. Others are terrified. And in Christian circles, a question keeps surfacing: Could AI be the one world order the Bible warns about in the end times? It’s…
Church hurt is not a theory. It’s a lived reality. Every year, thousands of believers quietly step away from the church — sometimes for a season, sometimes for good. The question presses in: why do people leave the church, especially after being hurt? Some assume it’s because faith itself failed. Others think it’s simply because…
Church hurt is more than disappointment. It’s deeper than an argument over preferences or a clash of personalities. When people who claim the name of Christ betray, manipulate, or abuse, the damage runs straight into your soul. It feels like the very place that should have been safe — the body of Christ — turned…
Church hurt is one of those wounds that lingers. It’s not just a sharp word on a bad day. It’s deeper. Maybe a trusted leader betrayed your confidence. Maybe a friend spread gossip that split your small group. Maybe it was worse — years of abuse covered by silence. Whatever the story, the result is…
Church hurt is real. It doesn’t take long in Christian community before someone experiences it. A harsh word from a leader. A broken promise. A betrayal that runs deeper than anyone expected. The phrase may be modern, but the problem itself is as old as the people of God. So the question presses in: what…
If you’ve heard someone talk about “church hurt,” you might wonder if the Bible has anything to say about it. After all, the phrase itself is modern. But when you dig into Scripture, you quickly realize the concept isn’t new at all. God’s people have been wounding each other since the very beginning. The Bible…
