It's Tuesday: 'Choose Faith at Christmastime' and More


Choose Faith at Christmastime
For some Christians it is easy to taste and see that God is good at Christmas time. For others believing in God’s goodness is a struggle this time of year.

A Reason for the Weary World to Rejoice this Christmas
The world is weary of feeling shame and guilt, and the world is definitely weary of feeling fear—especially in the midst of the 2020 and 2021 pandemic years.

The Need For Christian Love
The world speaks of love but really they only mean acceptance. Worldly love is predicated on set conditions. In the church, love is much deeper. Love does not just accept people, it works for their best interest. Christian love should be a much greater love. The church is a place where worldly distinctions are melted away by an intense love fired by a common salvation, a shared hope, and the powerful indwelling by the Holy Spirit. It is a love that is active and involved.

Alternative Facts on Church Growth: A Response to Scott MacDougall
Decline is a form of "change," change not for the better but for the worst. While a decline in church attendance may be widespread, it does not make declining attendance in the Episcopal Church any less significant. If Episcopalians hope to arrest the decline of their denomination, they need to be honest with themselves.

Why Liberalism Died
To speak accurately, the conflict between naturalistic and supernaturalistic theology was about the legitimacy of Scripture. The problem was not the analogy of being, but the analogy of religion. It is this latter form of analogy that theological liberalism violated by criticizing revelation in a manner reminiscent of the deists.
