Wisdom, perspective, and theological understanding from Spanish, Portuguese, French, Chinese, and Indonesian writers.Hagar’s unhappiness helps one Indonesian father become a better parent. A Mexican mother reflects on the parallels between Abraham nearly sacrificing Isaac and the false idols that tempt families to sacrifice their children today. A Chinese writer ponders the ramifications of Joseph’s decision to bring his brothers close after a life-changing betrayal. A Brazilian writer explores the significance of his country’s growing evangelical population, even as the number of people going hungry increases. Is there something we can learn from Job’s wife’s demand that her husband “curse God and die”? asks a French nurse.These are themes and questions the winners of Christianity Today’s second annual essay contest wrestled with. As we open 2023, we’re delighted to be sharing pieces originally written in Portuguese, Spanish, French, Chinese, and Indonesian with our English readers.For this contest, we received more than 140 submissions from 26 different countries. These essays were meticulously reviewed by our language editorial teams and then assessed anonymously by a team of judges. Thank you to these judges for their time and thoughtfulness. And thank you to everyone who submitted an essay for deeply engaging your faith and the world.We’re currently entering our fourth year of building out CT Global’s language ministries. If you’re interested in assisting us in growing this work, here’s where you can learn more about our translation and social media roles.If you’re interested in reading CT in another language, check out our articles in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Indonesian, Korean, and Russian.Any feedback ...Continue reading...

At their biblical best, American evangelical Christians affirm the intrinsic value of all human life.This piece was adapted from Russell Moore’s newsletter. Subscribe here.This Sunday marks 50 years since the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion in the United States.It’s also the first year in which that date—marked every year by a March for Life in the nation’s capital—falls after Roe was repudiated by the Supreme Court in last summer’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision.That means the focus this year—for those of us with pro-life commitments—will be invariably fixed on the next 50 years. This may be especially true for those of us who are also evangelical Christians.And it’s true not just with what we say and do but also with how we say it.In letters to his son, who is also a pastor, the late Eugene Peterson noticed that our evangelical movements and ministries are often missing “ways and means.” We must be attentive, he argued, to the how as well as to the what.“When the missional ‘how’ is severed from the worship ‘who and what,’ the missional life no longer is controlled and shaped by Scripture and the Spirit,” he wrote. “And so mission becomes shrill, dependent on constant ‘strategies’ and promotional schemes.”This is difficult, he wrote, in an American context in which “doing the right thing in the wrong way” is seen as less important than the “success” of whatever project is undertaken.“But if we are going to live the Jesus life,” he argued, “we simply have to do it the Jesus way—he is, after all, the Way as well as the Truth and Life.”Peterson was addressing local church ministry, but for ...Continue reading...

The fight for life is shifting into a new season in which every community is on the front lines. This means you and I are on the front lines as well.

And we need to pray daily for a spiritual awakening that would expose the darkness of deception to the light of truth.

Evangelism has taken me to churches and ministries in 47 states in 6 different countries in hundreds of different “camps.” You know what I mean by that right? Some “camps” are larger (the BBF, for instance) and some are really just a small group of like-minded folks who occasionally get together for encouragement and collaboration.…
