Poll: 80% of Churchgoers Want Pastors to Take a Stand

Many pastors are nervous to discuss hot-button issues���like abortion, racism, social justice, politics, gender, and LGBTQ���from the pulpit (often for fear of creating ���division,��� etc.). But according to a recent poll, congregations really do want their pastors to address current issues in their sermons.

New Lifeway research has revealed that 80% of churchgoers believe pastors should be addressing current events, but only 62% said their pastor does so ���every week��� or ���almost every we...

Thank You to Our 327 AiG Volunteers

54% of Christians Admit to Viewing Pornography���Over Half Are Okay with It

The Western church is in trouble���it seems every study that comes out paints a grimmer picture of the state of the church. Consider a new study from Barna which found a shocking 54% of ���practicing Christians��� admit to viewing pornography���that���s a mere 14% difference from non-Christians (68%). And it gets worse.

The study found that ���75% of Christian men and 40% of Christian women reported consuming porn on some level.��� Seventy-five percent of men and nearly half of women! And, appar...

What About Rape, Incest, and Life of the Mother?

Have you ever talked to a Christian who says they���re pro-life but they���re for, or at least okay with, the ���exceptions���? These exceptions are almost always included with any pro-life legislation: abortion is okay in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is at risk.

How should Christians think about these tragic cases?

Rape and Incest

Well, let���s start with the rape and incest exceptions. There are two truths that must guide our thinking in this area.

Are You Equipped for the Challenges of Marxism?

Many of our politicians are proclaiming a false gospel of Marxism to the culture���it���s permeating society, classrooms, and even the church. And it can be subtle or even disguised as Christian compassion. How can we recognize it, and how should we respond?

Well, I���m excited to announce a new book by AiG���s Patricia Engler���Modern Marxism. Patricia has traveled to many of the places where Marxism has taken root, studied the persecuted church that persevered under these regimes, and gleaned ...

Andy Stanley: ���You Only Have to Believe Two Miracles to Be a Christian���

Pastor Andy Stanley is in the headlines once again for a sermon he recently preached at his church. He began a new series with the question, ���Do you have to believe in miracles to be a Christian?��� His answer? Yes, but only two foundational miracles������the miracle of the universe��� and ���the miracle of the resurrection.���

He argues that those two miracles are all you need to believe to be a Christian but that believing them ���opens the door to making the other miracles more acceptable.�...
