Truth Amid The Liars

By Jeff Dodge Words of Life
Crete was a mess in all sorts of ways. Clearly, they needed help. More precisely, they needed leadership. Think about this: it is likely that some Cretans had become believers many years prior to Titus’s arrival. Acts 2 says there were Cretans present when Peter preached his very first gospel…

How to Pray for Our Enemies

By Tom Gilson Words of Life
At last! I finally accomplished one of my life’s goals last weekend. It was so thrilling, I emailed my fellow Stream editors so they could enjoy the moment with me. One of my articles got mentioned at Right Wing Watch, a project run by the stridently activist left-wing group People for…

Mask Off

By Levi Lusko Words of Life
For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God. 2 Corinthians 1:12 ESV You’re out in public and you catch a glimpse of yourself. Maybe when you see…

The Illusion of Invulnerability

By Dr. David Jeremiah Words of Life
Most of us live under the illusion of invulnerability, particularly when we’re young—particularly, too, I think, when we’re male. Men enjoy the illusion of controlling their own destiny.
