This time of the week two years earlier, there would have been no question. Ms. Pruitt, 46, would have been getting ready for her regular Saturday afternoon worship service, at a former grocery store overhauled into a state-of-the-art...

The Coming Evangelical Collapse
A "postevangelical" predicts the coming of an anti-Christian era that will fundamentally alter the religious and cultural environment. Editor’s note: Over the years, we've run dozens of pieces dissecting the influence of the evangelical Christian movement on American political culture. Most have been critical of its influence -- its leaders' desire to destroy the wall between church and state and turn the U.S. into a "Christian state" -- and virtually all have been written by analysts outside the movement. The piece that follows is a departure.

Evangelicals suddenly fear Trump’s affair with Stormy Daniels looks bad
Evangelical leaders aren't so much concerned about Trump's sex scandals. They're just concerned about the fallout. Evangelical Christian leaders are reportedly planning a “sit-down” with Trump to discuss their concerns about his affair with porn star Stormy Daniels and the subsequent effort to cover it up. But it’s not the moral, spiritual, or even legal aspects of the scandal that concern them — it’s the potential political fallout.

Will Trump bring about the end of the world? Evangelicals sure hope so
Evangelical Christians overwhelmingly support President Donald Trump because they believe he'll cause the world to end. Many have questioned why devout evangelicals support Trump, a man who has bragged about sexual assault, lies perpetually and once admitted he never asks God for forgiveness. Trump’s lack of knowledge of the Bible is also well-known.

The True Measure
Big works of God in this world begin small with ordinary people of God working for the glory of God. Many hands make light work. And many hands accomplish much work. This is how revivals begin, Reformations are launched, churches are established, missions are founded, and cities and countries and the world are changed.

Evangelicals helped elect Trump, but their time as a major political force is coming to an end
Alex Camire left the church a few months before his pastor announced from the pulpit that the election of Donald Trump was “a miracle of the Lord.”The 29-year-old Connecticut social worker had been raised in the evangelical tradition; his parents were married in it. But Camire’s faith had started to fail a decade earlier when his church deemed his mother’s alcoholism—and his parents’ subsequent divorce—a sin. Later, a secular college education taught him that “the world”—the community outside...

Are you on the right path?
right path Many of us seem to like to go our own ways. We often think our way is better. But I will say that if we go our own way it is earthly and that is not good. If we choose to follow the Lord's way his way is always for our good. So even if it drags up down it will bring us back stronger. Jeremiah 29:11.
