March 25 is the birthday of Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Norman Borlaug, “Father of the Green Revolution” and “The Man Who Fed the World” by his work increasing crop yields around the world. Borlaug’s amazing achievements not only fed, and continue to feed, billions of people, but also improve all of the world’s environment. Why? Because they reduce the need to convert natural lands to farmlands by enabling farmers to grow more food on every acre. That makes him a hero not only of the poor … [Read more...]
Help Us Speak the Truth in Love We Pray
Philippians 2:1–4: So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Heavenly Father, throughout the ages Your people, the … [Read more...]
We Pray for Freedom of Speech and Debate
Proverbs 18:17: The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him. John 8:32: … you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

We Pray for Protection and Wisdom
Lord, I know many are praying for a stop to global warming with the strong belief that we are damaging the environment by our use of fossil fuels. But I believe those fuels have been provided to us as a means to minimize human suffering and to act as a bridge to the time when technology will be able to provide free energy to all peoples and every society on earth. My prayers are for protection from the potential of a cooling earth. I pray for wisdom to be provided to our leaders that they … [Read more...]
The Theologization of Global Warming Among American Evangelicals: Who Says Religion and Science Can’t Mix?
[Note: This essay was written in the summer of 2010 at the request of Dr. Patrick Michaels, intended for a book he was editing. His publisher declined to include it in the book because of its religious content. It was never published elsewhere until now. We hope it remains a helpful survey of the history of the debate over global warming among evangelicals up to that time.—ECB, March 11, 2016] Introduction In the last half decade there has been a blossoming of public concern about global … [Read more...]
The Lord’s Prayer
Matthew 6: 5-14 ESV 5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others.

And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will … [Read more...]

We pray that those running for office would participate in open and civil … [Read more...]
