    NASHVILLE (BP) -- Christians are just as likely to say that gender is determined solely at birth as are atheists and religious "nones" to say the opposite, according to newly released Pew Research Center findings.

  • WORLDVIEW: Pencil in God's hand
    by Erich Bridges, posted Tuesday, October 27, 2015 (8 years ago)

    "Even among those who serve God, service itself can become a little god through which we come to worship ourselves, not Him," writes missions columnist Erich Bridges. "So we should always hold our individual callings lightly, because they are not 'ours.' They are merely means to a divine end: the glory of God." Read More

    Consider Jim Slack, 77.

  • World War II, 70 years after

    by Erich Bridges, posted Tuesday, May 26, 2015 (9 years ago)

    RICHMOND, Va. (BP) -- The 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe came and went in May with relatively little fanfare.

    Perhaps the milestone passed quietly because fewer people personally remember the largest armed conflict in human history. The last U.S. president to serve in the military during World War II, George H.W. Bush, now 90, left office more than 20 years ago. Barack Obama wasn't born until 16 years after the war ended.

  • WORLDVIEW: Counter culture with Gospel, Platt says

    RICHMOND, Va. (BP) -- It's hard not to offend people these days, especially if you actually believe what the Bible says about right, wrong, sin and salvation.

    Fearing the loss of friends, being dismissed as irrelevant -- or worse, being called intolerant -- many evangelicals jump on the bandwagon of popular social-justice causes, but lapse into uncomfortable silence on issues such as same-sex marriage and abortion. Some quietly abandon biblical positions on controversial issues altogether. Read More
