Africa has played a decisive role in the formation of Christian culture from its infancy. Some of the most decisive intellectual achievements of Christianity were explored and understood in Africa before they were in Europe. If this is so, why is Christianity so often perceived in Africa as a Western colonial import? How can Christians in Northern and sub-Saharan Africa, indeed, how can Christians throughout the world, rediscover and learn from this ancient heritage?

Der Song "Don’t You Know" gesungen von Chey, am Ende der Predigt gibt den Zuhörern die Möglichkeit, über die Predigt nachzudenken.

Few revivals have been as powerful and influential as the Welsh Revival. It was birthed from the unceasing, passionate prayers of men and women of God all over Wales, and led by the anointing-saturated young man, Evan Roberts. However, because Evan Roberts was a naturally reclusive man, and the teaching of humility was so important during the revival, we have very few eyewitness accounts or testimonies that give us deeper insights into how and why God moved in that time.

Since the earliest days of Christianity, believers have gathered in communities large and small, lifting one another up through the best and worst moments of life. It's where we feel the power of God's presence when our voices are raised in worship that touches heaven. It's where we learn and grow together. When we give as one, our generosity multiplies kingdom impact. Our faith is inspired and strengthened as we witness life change and miracles in our midst. It all happens here—In the Room.

In Righteous Strife, Richard Carwardine gives renewed attention to this crucible of contending religious nationalisms, out of which were forged emancipation, Lincoln’s reelection, and his second inaugural address. No understanding of the American Civil War is complete without accounting for this complex dance between church and state—one that continues to define our nation.

She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused.

Jesus of Nazareth was the most influential person to ever walk the earth, so why do we have no record of him for nearly two decades of his short life? Or have we just not looked in the right places? Narratives have long trickled out of the British Isles pointing to a significant connection with Jesus and with some of His most prominent disciples. Evidence reveals that Britain was not only the epicenter of an ancient global religion but became the first light of Christianity after the crucifixion.

There is no greater story in the history of humanity than that of the undying love between the Lord Jesus and His people. The most famous story in eternity will always be how the Son of God came and died a horrible death on the cross for our sins. However, there have been countless thousands of men and women who have reciprocated that love, and have walked to certain death in order to tell the lost about the lover of their souls. They faced raining clouds of arrows and spears, shipwrecks, starvation and hunger, dark jungles and slavery, and more than could ever be listed here.

Che uomini erano quelli. Riuscirono a salvare l’Europa con la sola forza della fede. Con l’efficacia di una formula semplicissima, ora et labora. Lo fecero nel momento peggiore, negli anni di violenza e anarchia che seguirono la caduta dell’Impero romano, quando le invasioni erano una cosa seria, non una migrazione di diseredati. Ondate violente, spietate, pagane. Unni, Vandali, Visigoti, Longobardi, Slavi e i ferocissimi Ungari. Li cristianizzarono e li resero europei con la sola forza dell’esempio. Salvarono una cultura millenaria, rimisero in ordine un territorio devastato e in preda all’abbandono.

Nothing is new or original in Christianity. That is the important thesis demonstrated in Christianity Before Christ. The least important features, as well as the most important components, were all well developed in cultures that flourished before the time that Christ is alleged to have walked the parched paths of Roman Palestine.
