News from Around the World (6/11)

6 Actions for Younger Women - 6 things on how to be a younger woman in today's context. 


Challenges To The Christian Faith - So how should Christians respond to ideas which, if they were true, might undermine our faith? Following are general suggestions we can utilize when evaluating disturbing challenges.


Training Leaders and Teachers Who Understand “Gospel Centrality - But information alone doesn’t change us. Application alone doesn’t change us. Only Jesus changes us. That’s why the information we present needs to be connected to Christ. And the application we give needs to be grounded in Christ’s work for us too.


How the Scandal of Preaching Will Reach Our Postmodern World - Of course, the first reaction to such an idea is, “Are you kidding?” When faced with the challenges of postmodernity, do we really think the solution is to stick some guy in front of the group and let him talk for 30 minutes?  Wouldn’t a video be more effective?  Or at least a dialogue or panel discussion?


Different Types of Affairs - You can see that there are many variations on a theme. Each affair has unique nuances that you don’t want to miss. Being a patient, good listener will serve you and the couple well as you embody the grace of Christ in these early stages of care.


Doug Phillips' Resignation -  What a warning to us all, especially to those of us who have leadership roles in the church, and especially in the areas we are strongest and most vocal on.


Lies I told to become a spy - But lying to myself was the biggest betrayal of all. I make real-life plans now, analyze career choices, and live with ordinary secrets. I have no glamorous cover. I would probably pass the polygraph test if I took it today.
