By Michael Ashcraft – In the very same city where he once roamed the streets barefoot, shirtless and out of his mind because of drug use, Mark Lara now pastors a church. “I used to be on the streets, demon-possessed, without shoes, out of my mind,” Mark says. “But Jesus Christ came into my heart and set me free. He gave me my dignity back, and he gave me hope and destiny for eternity.” His transformation through Jesus is astounding, one more piece of clinical proof that the solution to society’s ills are in a return to the Bible, not…

Imagine a hyperventilating article about the current climate debate that is long on opponent bashing and short on context. Such is the latest article found in Earthbeat, the environmental publication by the National Catholic Reporter where faith groups are said to “blast evil EPA rollback plans”, and these same select faith groups push back on a comment from the Trump administration decrying Trump’s idealogically-driven opponents as part of a ‘climate change religion’.But clearly, truth and real religious compassion become the first casualty in Earthbeat’s post.

By Michael Ashcraft — Islamism-slayer Ridvan Aydemir appears to be on the journey from atheist to Christian. He made the announcement recently on his YouTube channel, which goes under the name the Apostate Prophet. The curious thing about his journey: He’s attending an Orthodox Church. For decades the trend was the faithful from Catholicism and other liturgical churches flocking to born-again churches in preference for the offering of a personal relationship with Christ, an easy-going friendly environment and worship on the guitar.
