International Conference of Leaders: Praise for answered prayer

- TSA international website - "THE concluding day of the 2012 International Conference of Leaders was filled with praise for answered prayers throughout the event. The Chief of the Staff, Commissioner Barry C. Swanson, led the final meeting with many leaders testifying to God’s faithfulness and echoing the opening prayer of Commissioner Marja Van Vliet that ‘God (would) make us one Army – in Christ, in truth, in fellowship, in hope and in covenant’."

Can Liberal Christianity Be Saved?

- New York Times - "But if conservative Christianity has often been compromised, liberal Christianity has simply collapsed. Practically every denomination — Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian — that has tried to adapt itself to contemporary liberal values has seen an Episcopal-style plunge in church attendance."

Theology of Glory vs. Theology of the Cross

- The Christian Post - "It is not exactly breaking news to say that our culture has an aversion to suffering, regardless of how inescapable it may be. This is because we-you and me-have an aversion to suffering. Who wants to suffer? But the conscious avoidance of pain is one thing; the complete intolerance, or outright denial of it, is another."
