April 18, 2020: China uses Zoom to arrest Christians,
Google suspends church's app,
Al Mohler to support Trump
Saturday, April 18, 2020:
Here are the latest headlines, brought to you by The Christian Post.
— Google Play suspends evangelical church's app
Google suspended a mobile app launched by Christ Church of Moscow, Idaho, claiming that the evangelical church's "ChristKirk" app violated its "sensitive events" policy related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The church used its Google Play app as a resource to post weekly sermons and podcasts.
The church appealed Google's decision but was rebuffed. It's been speculated that the reason Google removed the church's app is because of pastor Douglas Wilson's recent sermon on abortion and gay marriage.
— China: Police arrest Christians participating in Zoom Easter worship service
Several members of China's heavily persecuted Early Rain Covenant Church were arrested by communist authorities as they participated in an online Easter worship service on Zoom.
Persecution watchdog group International Christian Concern reports that the Christians were participating in a Zoom worship service from their homes when six leaders were arrested and detained by China's Public Security Bureau. The regime is known for using Zoom to spy on its citizens.
The 5,000-member Sichuan house church, led by pastor Wang Yi, has not been able to gather in person since the communist regime shutdown the church in 2018 and arrested their pastor and other leaders. Since then members have only been able to gather online.
— SBC leader Albert Mohler says he'll be voting for Donald Trump in 2020
Calling him the most "consistent" president in American history, prominent Southern Baptist R. Albert Mohler Jr., indicated Wednesday
that he will likely support President Donald Trump in 2020 despite not voting for him in 2
While he doesn't have a different opinion of Trump's moral character today, Mohler said he was impressed by the president's commitment to his campaign promises and as a result he will not make the same decision he did in 2016, when he refused to support him and encouraged other Christian leaders to do the same.
Actor Kirk Cameron and his sister Candace Cameron Bure will be hosting a benefit concert called Hope Rising to raise money for Samaritan's Purse. The online livestream event will start at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday and 100 percent of the proceeds will go to Samaritan's Purse which set up field hospitals in both New York City and Cremona, Italy, to provide medical support to hospitals caring for patients during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Hope Rising was originally supposed to be broadcast on network television Easter Sunday but the unnamed network pulled out at the last minute and didn't explain why. Cameron believes it might have been because the network believed the benefit concert was "too Christian."

In one of the paragraphs above it says "The church appealed Google's decision but was rebuffed. It's been speculated that the reason Google removed the church's app is because of pastor Douglas Wilson's recent sermon on abortion and gay marriage. https://www.christianpost.com/news/google-play-suspends-evangelical-churchs-app-over-covid-19-sensitive-events-policy.html " I don't like where this is heading. Just because the current culture wars are over sermons on abortion and gay marriage is no reason for Google to pass judgement. I may decide I want to preach a sermon on being against pedophilia or against beastiality and the current culture wars have not yet reached the tipping point on those two topics. What will Google do in the future if they did that now? The bible teaches many things. We need Google to be neutral about what the bible teaches for now and for the future. I am betting the culture wars are heading for those two topics and our kids and grandkids will fight them. Google beware the future topics you are setting a precedent for by passing judgement against the bible on the current topics. Leave it be, Google.
If you are wondering where the pages that contained the words "excerpt", "Introducing" or other words indicating I was quoting a book have all gone, I migrated all of them over to Posts and Posted them all on August 18 and August 19 2024. I did that so you could use the search widget that is built in to the blog on the upper right hand corner. You will be happy to know that there are more of them than just the batch that were migrated, there were also lots of posts that contained the same words that did not have to be migrated over, they were there all along. I am really enjoying doing introductions and excerpts because it really makes for powerful and fascinating reading when I do them. You get the feeling you are in a bookstore holding a book in your hand looking at the table of contents and deciding whether or not to buy the book.

In Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church, top-selling author and Anglican bishop, N.T. Wright tackles the biblical question of what happens after we die and shows how most Christians get it wrong. We do not “go to” heaven; we are resurrected and heaven comes down to earth--a difference that makes all of the difference to how we live on earth. Following N.T. Wright’s resonant exploration of a life of faith in Simply Christian, the award-winning author whom Newsweek calls “the world’s leading New Testament scholar” takes on one of life’s most controversial topics, a matter of life, death, spirituality, and survival for everyone living in the world today.

Despite his status as one of the most influential and intelligent Christian authors of the 20th century, C.S. Lewis never thought of himself as a professional theologian. While he was well-read in many types of literary genres, he did not go to Seminary to obtain a Masters in Theology and study a year of Old Testament Hebrew and New Testament Greek. He was not a Pastor who preached sermons to a congregation for many years but a raw, honest philosopher and professor of literature who wrote as well as any Christian of his time could. He had a gift for clearly articulating his perspectives on a variety of issues. Above all, he was humble, in that he had an honest evaluation of both his strengths and his weaknesses. I believe this is one of the main reasons why he is still so enjoyable to read even after all these years. In terms of his theology, Lewis himself said he was an “Anglican but not especially ‘high,’ nor especially ‘low,’ nor especially anything else.” So the theology of C.S. Lewis is not something one can immediately discover by simply perusing a certain book of his to see exactly where he stands on certain doctrinal issues; it is much more subtle and convoluted than that. But in this book, you will find his different thoughts from his many books about certain Christian doctrines and topics pieced together in an easy-to-follow format (Lewis has written nearly 60 books but none of them are on systematic theology). This book offers very clear depictions of his theology concerning subjects such as the doctrine of inspiration, original sin, human depravity, human origins, evolution, intelligent design, theodicy, love and marriage, redemption, grace, new creation, and grief, as his authentic reaction to God after his wife’s death is conveyed. The final chapters also contain all of his greatest quotes arranged and sorted by topic as well as excerpts, quotes, and summaries from most of his books in a quick, easy-to-read, bullet-point format. These last two sections are a particularly great resource to draw from as you can quickly learn about the main points Lewis conveys in his bestselling books.
