    It's been a while since I've posted to my newsletter/blog. After coming home from Uganda, I have been going through a period of still waters while waiting for the next call. During that time, I've listened to of the many streams of Christian dialogue that run in every direction. Some are focused on the threat of Islam and Sharia Law to our America...

  • Born in a Stable

    I think I know why Jesus was born in a stable and not in a house.  This is one of the coolest things I’ve come across in a long time and I wanted to share it with my friends. Let me start with John the Baptist.  Zechariah, his father, was of the course of Abia. Now, if you can figure out when the course of Abia ministered in the Tem...

  • Answering a Fool in his Folly

    Recently, on two separate occasions, I have been approached by two old acquaintances who have wanted to enlighten me into deeper understandings. These two men are polar opposites in their beliefs but both had the same intent. Like Job's comforters, they were just trying to help. One is what I call an armchair theologian. You know the type – they...

  • War On Christmas

    By Michael Youssef
    Around this time of year, the war against all symbols of Christmas begins to heat up in schools, small towns, and big cities. This so-called "war" on Christmas is only symbolic of a far greater and more intensified war that is waged against the Christian faith in general and Christians in particular.  Atheists have become more vocal and demon...

  • Theology 101: Thou Shalt Not Steal

    Anthony Horvath is the Executive Director of Athanatos Christian Ministries.  A national pro-life speaker, he blogs at sntjohnny.com. In this election season it seems like there is a fair number of the American electorate that needs to be asked:  “What is it about ‘Thou shalt not steal’ that you don’t understand?”  Now, t...

    “Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the d...

  • I Will That Men Pray

    "I will therefore that men pray every where..."  1 Timothy 2:8 It has been said that preaching moves men, but prayer moves God.  If that is the case, then it seems to me that we should do a lot more praying than preaching and a lot more time on our knees listening to God than sitting on our butts reading books.  Why is it that praye...

  • Faith like a little Child: Real Children Need not Apply?

    March 17th, 200903:48 PM ET
    By Anthony Horvath
    Jesus said that unless you become like little children you cannot enter the Kingdom of God. In Mark 10:15 he says, "I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." Hyper-intellectuals on the atheist front perceive this approach as intellectual suicide. They see a passage like this as...

  • Radical Love Will Revive a Radical Christianity

    January 15th, 200911:33 AM ET
    By Anthony Horvath
    In my first blog entry at the Christian Post I urged readers- whom I expect will mostly be Christian- to rememeber that the Bible gives us no promise of having a Christian culture. Indeed, the early church sprang into existence in the midst of a multicultural, highly pluralistic, and often hostile environment. In other words, much like our o...
