I know, I know: “Best Religious Film” is not a Golden Globes category. Neither is it an Academy Awards category.
Perhaps it should be.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri got a lot of love Sunday (Jan. 7) at the Golden Globes—best motion picture, drama; best actress in a motion picture, drama (Frances McDormand); best supporting actor in a motion picture (Sam Rockwell); best…

It follows a scheme in south Wales where inmates joined their children for meetings with teachers.
Parents from about 50 schools have already tested the idea, which has now been commended by the Church’s lead bishop for prisons.
Bishop of Rochester, the Right Rev James Langstaff told Premier why all schools should follow suit.
Speaking about the HMP Parc initiative in Bridgend which he has visited, he said: “It’s not a specifically church-related initiative but it has been running for a time now and seems to suggest now that there’s some fruitfulness in this.”
Parc’s head of family interventions, Corin Morgan-Armstrong, told Wales Online that the aim of the unique scheme is to reduce re-offending by improving fathers’ relationships with their children and to ensure children of prisoners get the support they need in school.
Bishop James said, while it would be “difficult” to introduce the scheme in England, he wanted to find a place where a Church of England School could pilot it.
He said: “It would be really good to see if we could find a part of the country, perhaps through the Diocesan Church School’s network in that area; we could set up a pilot and see if this could run in an English setting.”
He also said Christians should back the idea.
Explaining, he said: “The basic model is one that Christians should be really positive about because it plays to the things we say we are concerned about, which is about transforming lives, giving people the…

At Passion 2018, Christine Caine spoke to thousands of millennials about the spiritual stronghold of shame—and how the devil has used that trick to stop God’s people since the beginning of time. She instead urges them to rise up, saying, “If you don’t know what God says about you, you will believe the lies of the enemy.” The full sermon is available here.

A tight-knit Roman Catholic Church parish north of Minneapolis–Saint Paul, Minnesota, is dealing with the fallout of its new priest’s decision to dismiss three men from the church’s musical ensemble because they are in same-sex marriages.
The Rev. John Drees, who replaced his retiring predecessor at the Church of St. Joseph in Taylors Falls and the Church of St. Francis Xavier in Shafer in July, has explained that he had no choice but to dismiss the trio, as same-sex marriage goes against the teachings of the Church.
According to a report in The Pioneer Press last week, the men have the support of a significant part of the 400 or so members of the congregation, and none of the parties involved want to turn the story into a divisive debate that drives parishioners away.
The gay men reportedly continue to attend the church and sing from the pews, but not as part of the church musical ensemble, which they were let go from in December.
Bob Bernard, who was dismissed as the parish’s only on-staff musician, insisted that he doesn’t want the…

One woman tells Sid Roth witches snatched her out of a church service to perform ritual satanic abuse.
In a video posted recently the It’s Supernatural host revisits his time at Bethel nearly 20 years ago, where he interviewed person after person with nearly unreal stories about how God was moving.
In the report, Roth says the area surrounding Bethel once played host to 26 cults.
“Although the devil has power, inside this church, Bethel church, is an explosion of God’s power,” Roth says.
God’s power…

Speaking at the Vatican on Monday, Pope Francis also urged the world to support dialogue between Pyongyang and South Korea.
In his annual “state of the world” speech, he said the nuclear war could be triggered by “some chance and unforeseen circumstance”.
He added: “It is of paramount importance to support every effort at dialogue on the Korean peninsula in order to find new ways of overcoming the current disputes, increasing mutual trust and ensuring a peaceful future for the Korean people and the entire world.”
Over the past year, Pyongyang has made big advances in being able to strike the US with a nuclear weapon.
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 3, 2018
Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, claimed to have a nuclear button at the ready and Mr Trump dismissed the taunt by tweeting that the US button at his disposal was bigger and more powerful.
Meanwhile, the Catholic leader also criticised President Donald Trump for recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, calling for the status quo to be respected.
The pope addressed envoys from more than 180 countries a day before North Korea and South Korea held talks to address North Korea’s participation in the…

“I would say my poise comes from my faith. I just pray for peace.” That’s how Alabama’s freshman quarterback Tua Tagovailoa explained his amazing calm in leading his team to an incredible overtime victory in last night’s College Football Playoff championship game.
It was one of the greatest games I’ve ever seen. Georgia was up by thirteen points at halftime and firmly in control of the game. Alabama’s legendary coach Nick Saban went to Tagovailoa, who had not been on the field for a meaningful play all year. The Hawaiian phenom proceeded to become an “unlikely legend” at the age of nineteen.
Lost in all the attention Tagovailoa is receiving today is the fact that the Georgia Bulldogs had an amazing season. For perspective: 129 schools were eligible to compete for the NCAA Championship and, as of this morning, the Georgia Bulldogs outrank 127 of them. After their loss to Alabama, however, they will soon be an asterisk on the season, the answer to a trivia question.
Why?
Our culture celebrates winners
Vince Lombardi famously declared, “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.” Paul Bryant said it a little differently: “Winning isn’t everything, but it beats anything that comes in second.” Tiger Woods claimed that “winning solves everything.”
Of course, we should applaud those who win significant contests. The level of discipline required to achieve such a level of success is remarkable. Emmitt Smith, the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, noted: “Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream.”
At the same time, winning can be arbitrary at best. Alabama got into the College Football Playoff despite losing its conference championship. A committee decided its loss to Auburn was less detrimental than the losses of teams such as Ohio State, which won its conference championship.
The University of Central Florida (UCF) was the only major college…

In 2017, we saw a tidal wave of sex scandals and shamed scoundrels. USA Today reported that over 135 prominent men have been accused of sexual harassment or misconduct since the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke in October. An epidemic of moral corruption has been exposed as big names have fallen like dominoes. The guilty should confess, repent and resign their leadership positions. The rest of us should search our hearts and pray God helps us…
