Does God want you to be wealthy? If you are struggling financially, is that a sign that you are out of favor with God or lack sufficient faith in God? Or is being wealthy sinful?
The writings of one of the richest men ever, Solomon, provide answers.

The term “social justice” has become a politically charged term that divides Christians, especially Protestants.
Evangelicals accuse mainline Protestants of sacrificing bedrock biblical beliefs to achieve cultural goals; mainline Protestants respond that the best way to demonstrate Christ's love is to meet people’s physical and social needs.
In the middle of this debate stands The Salvation Army...
In two years, he’s gone from virtual obscurity to having 450,000 followers, collaborating with major universities, and being featured on ESPN and CBS Sports.
All because his videos – most of which poke fun at the college football powerhouses and their fanbases – make people laugh.
Wanting to make people laugh is what persuaded Josh Mancuso to go from behind the camera to in front of it. He sees humor...
In the days of Jesus, Jews hated Samaritans. And the feeling was mutual.
Animosity between the two groups had existed for centuries.
But why?
How did Jesus deal with it? And what does that mean for us today?

Christian men of all ages are struggling, and fewer than 10 percent of American churches offer an effective ministry for their men.
But a men’s discipleship ministry called CLC – Christ Led Communities – is thriving in churches across the U.S. and in pockets around the world, including China.
What’s behind CLC’s success?

Is pride good or bad? Many would argue that, pride – especially healthy pride – is good.
In a radio address, C.S. Lewis expressed a different opinion.

Effective men’s discipleship is critical to the health of every church, whatever its size.
Travis Edgar leads a small, Free Methodist church in a rural Pennsylvania town. Ronnie Cordrey leads men’s ministry at one of the largest churches in America. While their approaches are very different, both men have learned that men’s discipleship goes nowhere without authentic brotherhood bonds between leaders and the ...
To make the world a better place, many people turn to politics. That’s because the decisions and actions of government leaders can have a significant impact on some things that can improve the lives of some people.
As Christians, however, we need to be careful that our political involvement does not overshadow our primary mission.

Jesus was not only the perfect man but also the perfect model of manhood. To translate the example of Jesus to their own lives, men need help from their Christian brothers.
The problem is that most men don’t have any Christian brothers. Today’s Christian men are attempting to follow Jesus without a single man to walk beside them on the journey.

I marvel at the integrity of the early Christians. But I also have good examples of integrity in my own life.
One man who demonstrated integrity throughout his life was my dad. I learned many things from his example, including these two: (1) play by the rules and (2) honor your commitments.

Brett Baker was on a self-destructive path until he joined the military, which gave him discipline, structure, and goals. It wasn't until he was medically retired from the military, however, that Brett discovered his true purpose: serving others.
In this interview, Brett explains how putting other people first and maximizing their success has had a tremendous positive impact on his business, his relation...
Byner took a handoff, powered past the Broncos' line, and headed for the goal line to tie the game. But he was stripped of the ball at the two-yard line, and the Browns lost.
Byner’s name is forever linked with that play, known simply as “The Fumble.” Browns fans couldn’t forgive Byner, and after one more season Cleveland traded him to Washington.
But that’s not the end of Earnest Byner’s story....
The Hebrew word "shalom" appears 237 times in the Old Testament. The usual translation is "peace", but the word also means completeness or wholeness.
Both the Old Testament and the New Testament make it clear that true peace -- true wholeness -- comes only from God.
In the second part of our two-part interview with Joel Hanson, he draws from the Bible and from his own experiences ...
In Jesus's time, there was no concept of equality in the Roman Empire or in Jewish society.
So where did Jesus stand on the issue of equality? How did he instruct his followers? How do his words and actions apply to us today, nearly 2,000 years later?

When a Christian leader sins, we expect him to step down and, essentially, disappear.
In his letter to the Galatians, Paul instructs us to restore those caught in sin, using a spirit of gentleness. Does restoration mean restoring one to leadership? To the same leadership role?
Joel Hanson experienced that type of restoration. Hear his amazing story in the first half of our interview with him.
Most Christian churches face a shortage of men, with women accounting for 60 percent or more of typical worship attendance. So why do churches seem to go out of their way to alienate men who are divorced?
Church leaders respond that they simply are following and applying biblical principles. But are they?

After 17 years of successful youth ministry in Texas and South Carolina, Warren Mainard heard a call from God. His wife heard it, too. The call was to take their two children, move to Seattle, and plant a church there.
It took Warren three years to get church attendance to 100. Then came 2016, and political turmoil tore apart the small church. Two years later, with his family suffering, Warren had to step awa...
Jesus knew that, in a few minutes, he was going to raise Lazarus from the dead.
And yet, when Jesus saw Mary weeping for her dead brother, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled. And when he arrived at the tomb, he wept.
Jesus wept.
Why?
Billy Graham had an answer.
