Gay Marriage: Culture War or Ambush?

May 17th, 201205:46 PM ET

By Michael Youssef

When President Obama recently completed his “evolution” on homosexual marriage, he ambushed not only some of his friends, but the majority of Americans who still hold to the truth of heterosexual marriage. For years, pundits have debated the “culture war.” The term war, however, implies that two equal sides are duking it out. But is that r...
The Dread of God

" ... let not thy dread make me afraid." (Job 13:21) Throughout the years, I've witnessed the struggle to define what the Fear of God really is ... and what it is not. A friend of mine has said that people will follow their hearts, and so it is with how people define what the Fear of God is to them. The expanse of extremes range from th...

When I escaped from the Middle East more than 40 years ago with only the clothes I was wearing, I had every reason to turn my back on the people who persecuted me. But God changed my heart. And that’s why I want to share a key verse that the Lord used to help me understand why I had to love those who hated me. Jesus said to the disciples in Matt...

We in the United States are living in one of the most dangerous times in modern history. Geopolitically, our government is appeasing those who have declared enmity toward us. Washington is mistreating our friends and ingratiating themselves to those who wish us harm. Even those with just an elementary knowledge of history know this is a recipe for...
Islam vs. Christianity Comparison

July 19th, 201012:31 PM ET

By Michael Youssef

Allah and God Islam: Allah is distant and unknowable; Allah does not reveal himself to mankind; merciful (forgives at his will). Allah is capricious (both leads and misleads); vengeful (honor restored only by "getting even"); Almighty (emphasis on power) Christianity: God is personal and you can know Him; God revealed Himself in the Incarnation...
The Love of the Father

By Michael Youssef

"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" (I John 3:1, NIV) God gave us earthly fathers to emulate just a fraction of our heavenly Father's love and care for us. Maybe your father was faithful to this model, and maybe he wasn't. What's most important is that we learn...
Christmastime Again

By Dale Garris

It's Christmastime again. I can't believe that I've been saved for almost 40 years now and have been able to be part of so many real Christmases. It wasn't always so. As a young man who refused to believe in such nonsense such as a god that I couldn't see, feel, or touch, Christmas remained simply a time of tinsel, pretty lights, Thomas Kincaid ...
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...
