Pastor Andy Stanley recently said: “If somebody can predict their own death and then their own resurrection, I’m not all that concerned about how they got into the world because the whole resurrection thing is so amazing. And in fact, you should know this… that Christianity doesn’t hinge on the truth or even the stories surrounding the birth of Jesus. It really hinges on the resurrection of Jesus.” Okay, Andy… so you’re not amazed about the fact that the Old... Read more

Here is a sensitive question we get not infrequently in the inbox, and this time it comes from a nameless female listener, who simply asks this: “Pastor John, is it a sin to be pregnant before marriage?” How do you go about answering such a sensitive question? One way to reframe this question would be to ask: Are the effects of sin, sin? But when I thought that, I thought: No. Even that is not precise enough, is it? Because... Read more

When it comes to religious freedom, we face two equal and opposite temptations. But neither will do in the face of our current challenges.

Here on BreakPoint we often talk about the ongoing struggle between religious freedom and so-called “sexual freedom.” Today, religious freedom, though clearly established in the Bill of Rights, often loses. Sexual freedom is on the march and seems to be taking no prisoners. The latest flash point in this struggle is so-called SOGI laws, that... Read more

The virgin birth of Jesus touches me in a very female way in relating to sweet Mary as a mother.  Any mother beholding those scenes of recent Jesus movies of Mary watching her beloved Son tortured and murdered on that cross can’t help but feel the deep emotions and horror that Mary felt as she watched and fell at His feet sobbing. It really happened! No words to describe it! So many questions. We don’t know much about her. ... Read more

So much has been thrown at us, as a society, such as biased media pushing their agenda instead of objectively reporting the truth, Black Lives Matter and police officers being shot and killed on a regular basis. It begs the question: how do we deal with this, as Christians? As followers of Jesus, we want to deal with it in the proper manner – in a way that is pleasing to God and that serves our fellow man. In... Read more

To purchase the entire Summit Lecture Series, Vol. 1 on DVD, go to: summit.org. Here’s the important question:  How do we live lives like William Wilberforce or Dietrich Bonhoeffer? Let me take this a little bit further.  Wilberforce won. God gave him two great aims: the end of the slave trade and the reformation of manners.  Both of those things largely were accomplished.  He didn’t make a utopia, but he made the world a better place. He fought and he fought... Read more

Be sure that you have a good password for all of your online stuff. Trust no one when it comes to that sort of thing. I was recently talking on the phone to my bank about our online banking system, and I had to reset my password. After doing so, the guy from the bank said, “Wow… that’s really complicated.” “Well, you know… you want to have a complicated password that’s really hard to hack.” I replied. Then, the... Read more

Jesus’ Leadership Manifesto – Welcome to the Upper Room, and Jesus’ farewell address to His beloved disciples. As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, as we break the seal on this, Jesus’ final night before the crucifixion, I do so with something of a lump in my throat and the pinkish hue of embarrassment upon my otherwise rosy cheeks. This because this particular portion of the grand story of Jesus’ life and ministry hits me most personally. And... Read more
