Christianity
I Agree with Bill O’Reilly. But Here’s What’s Missing
My three favorite national commentators on American and world affairs are probably Victor Davis Hanson, Rod Martin, and Bill O’Reilly. I read and watch all three of them weekly.
They share wisdom from a Judeo-Christian perspective with slightly different strengths:
- VDH – intellectual historian with a mainline church background.
- Rod Martin – Futurist and positive entrepreneur who is Southern Baptist.
- Bill O’Reilly – a practicing Catholic who supports traditional values and fact-based reporting.
According to the list above, I guess I’m ecumenical in gathering my weekly news roundup.
A column by Bill O’Reilly caught my eye this week. But something was missing from it.
Twelve Ways Jesus Changed the World
To most people, Jesus is a historical figure who was the founder of Christianity—but that is as far as it goes. Many have no idea that his most wonderful life had an unsurpassed effect on human history.
In fact, without the birth, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, life on planet earth would be incomprehensibly different from what it is today.
Let’s do some deeper thinking about the impact of the life of Jesus Christ. Here are twelve ways Jesus changed the world over the past two thousand years.
The Quiet Conquest: Islam’s Advance and the Collapse of a Sleeping Church
I’ve written much over the past few months on the disengaged Church in America.
“Darkness” is growing in the United States because many 21st century pastors/churches are afraid to speak about sin and be salt and light in the culture. They fear people more than God.
When the “light” dims, “darkness” fills the void.
Virgil Walker has written a powerful piece about the sleeping Church–and Islam’s quiet conquest of the West–if we do not wake up.
