Think and Believe

Researchers in the social sciences appear to have come up with another way to ridicule people of faith. Or—to give the benefit of the doubt to a study team at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada—they have unwittingly given the media their latest opportunity to do so.
Yesterday’s Los Angeles Times headline is laden with scorn—“Thinking […]

Monster?

I’m wrapping up an Old Testament class this semester at Assemblies of God Theological Seminary. One of the textbooks, Paul Copan’s Is God a Moral Monster?, has been a wonderful read.
No textbook will resonate with every reader on every theological point, but Copan’s basic premise should hold true for the great majority of his […]

Magazine’s Weekly Drawing Grows in Worldwide Appeal

Thanks to readers from Guyana and Togo, the number of nations represented during the six-year history of the Pentecostal Evangel Weekly Drawing has reached 47. Since its March 2006 launch, the Weekly Drawing has consistently received entries from around the world.
Although website visitors from 46 nations outside the United States have participated in the drawing, […]

Tiny Huge

 
What is about the width of a human hair yet covers 71 percent of the planet? I discovered the answer, without actually asking the question, while reading a short online Popular Science article.
The answer: the ocean’s microlayer, the interface between the atmosphere and the saltwater surface. Turns out, it’s an entire ecosystem all its own, with […]

More than 11,000 copies of every Pentecostal Evangel published are provided to 500-plus correctional facilities throughout the United States. Key Bearers, the ministry that supplies those magazines to the incarcerated, will be highlighted in the April 29 issue of the Evangel.

Review of “Joseph” From Sight & Sound Theatre

I was privileged to attend the premiere of “Joseph” at Sight & Sound Theatre in Branson, Missouri, on April 14. The production was stunning, and the show’s message of integrity and forgiveness was gripping.
An admittedly Christian production with the purpose of sharing the gospel, “Joseph,” like all Sight & Sound Theatres productions, does not skimp […]

Titanic Farewell: The Band Played on

Today, April 15, is the centennial, the 100-year anniversary, of the sinking of the Titanic. A century has passed since one of history’s great tragedies.
The last image that many survivors of the Titanic recounted was the band playing steadfastly to soothe the passengers while the waters rose and the ship went down, while people struggled […]

Any other churches, ministries, and individuals wanting bulk copies of the children’s issue are encouraged to place their orders now to guarantee availability.

Help for the Hurting

I received a letter from a reader going through a severe trial and finding difficulty sensing God’s love. I sent, and prayed over, a personal response, then enclosed a copy of the following editorial I wrote many years ago. Perhaps you also need this today.
Help for the Hurting
A lot of you reading this are hurting […]

A Real Sports Hero

My friend Steve Humann has recently been going through some severe health trials. As always, his wife, Joyce, has been alongside him as he has been in and out of the hospital, and through the needed care at home. Steve and Joyce have faced this same journey for many years. As a tribute to these […]

A Day of Deliverance

Easter, the most special day of the year for Christians. I prefer the name Resurrection Sunday; it clearly describes what this day is all about.
In the Early Church era, Easter was celebrated as an overnight service, beginning on Saturday. Much of its content and imagery were drawn from the Jewish Passover celebration. Thus, the Scriptures […]
