‘The Absence of God’ - Ghost Depicts Industrialized Dystopia on “Meliora”
The Swedish theatrical metal troupe’s third album gets recognized 10 years later Ghost is the ultimate entity for admirers of heavy metal and theatre. The group, satirizing the Catholic Church by praising the Devil instead of God, is fronted by Tobias Forge, who dons a prosthetic mask and devilish papal regalia under the pseudonym Papa Emeritus. In the eyes of devout liturgics, Ghost’s schtick is blasphemous and has become the root of some minor controversies over the years.

Top 10 Books on Revival — Think Eternity with Matt Brown

I have been privileged to travel to places where revivals began such as the Moriah Chapel in Wales where the Welsh Revival started. Or to Durban, South Africa, to spend 2 weeks at the Kswibuntu Mission where there is still a touch of an on-going revival known as the Zulu Revival.
Top 10 Revival Sermons — Think Eternity with Matt Brown
It all started with a dusty box of old cassette tapes being shipped to me in the mail. Opening it I carefully put a pencil in and turned the tape taunt and put it carefully in the cassette player.

Jesus’ 50 Theses to the Modern Church
By Greg Gordon | July 10, 2020 Martin Luther in his 95 Theses begins with the first theses: “When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, ‘Repent’ (Mt 4:17), he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.” We heartily agree and are blessed by this injunction and command.

Francis Chan, Holy Communion and Church history

By Greg Gordon, Op-Ed Contributor | Monday, April 08, 2019 Photo: Unsplash/Kal Visuals There seems to be an overwhelming fascination in evangelicalism with what is wrong. What do I mean by that?

Judgmentalism: One of the great sins in the Church
By Greg Gordon, Op-Ed Contributor | Sunday, December 30, 2018 We are all prone to judge others whether we understand it is right or wrong. Many are acclaiming judging as a virtue but is it really?

The bondage of unforgiveness in the Christian life - ChristianWeek
I remember when I was a younger believer in the Lord. Having just experienced the forgiveness and life offered in Jesus Christ and spending many hours in prayer in relationship with the Lord, everything seemed so well.

When I ran across a passage on forgiveness I really thought hard within myself if I had any unforgiveness towards anyone, and I did not.
