Argentina’s adherence to the Geneva Consensus reopens the debate over the defense of life, the family, and national sovereignty in relation to abortion.
One of the saddest things about growing older is not the wrinkles on our faces; it’s the wonder we sometimes lose from our hearts. The same is true the longer we follow Jesus. Familiarity is one of faith’s greatest thieves. For the sake of the gospel and the vitality of our own faith, let us hold on to wonder as we walk in the world that is still full of God.
A new policy in Canada forbids military chaplains from not only praying, but from referring to God or the divine in spiritual reflections. As representatives of the government, they are being required to be publicly secular and therefore religiously neutral. Neutrality, however, is an illusion.
To influence a secular culture, Christian business-as-usual won't cut it. We need bold creativity, tireless determination, and gracious respectfulness. In the USA, media leader Mark Rodgers is a great example of leading in this way. In this article, Bruce Barron interviews Mark about his thoughts on the matter.
When Joshua Bogunjoko stepped onto the stage at the Arise Asia 2026 Congress in Manila on the morning of July 30, he opened with a question about how people perceive Africa: "When you hear the word Africa," he asked the participants, "what comes to your mind first?"

Two back-to-back sessions on the second day of the Arise Asia 2026 Congress on July 28 pressed some 4,000 young Christians toward the same question from different directions: what does it mean to share Christ in this generation, and are you actually doing it?
The Great Commission will not be finished at the rate the church is currently working, Jason Mandryk told approximately 4,000 young Christians gathered for the Arise Asia 2026 Congress Tuesday morning (July 28) — and the numbers, he said, make that conclusion unavoidable.
Pastor Wayne Chen, director of Radius Asia and a former missionary to the Biem people of Papua New Guinea, delivered the keynote address on the first night of the Arise Asia 2026 Congress on Monday, speaking to approximately 4,000 young Christians gathered in Manila from 50 countries under the conference theme "For the Joy," drawn from Hebrews 12:2.
A question everyone should ask themselves when they open a retouching app: who decides what my face should look like?
