Clayton Kershaw finally had won a World Series title, but he was still having trouble believing it.

The eight-time All-Star and three-time Cy Young winner is considered one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball history, yet in 13 seasons had not claimed a World Series title, falling just short in 2017 and 2018 when his Los Angeles Dodgers won the pennant but lost in the final round. That is, until Tuesday.

The Dodgers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 3-1 to win the 2020 World Series in six games for their first championship since 1988.

“I just keep saying it over and over again – World Series champs, World Series champs. It hasn’t sunk in yet,” said Kershaw, who was the winning pitcher in Games 1 and 5.

Kershaw, an outspoken Christian, frequently expressed gratitude during the post-game news conference.

“I’m just so, so very thankful to be a part of this group of guys. And so very thankful that we get to be on the team that is bringing back a World Series to the Dodgers fans after 32 years,” he said.

After the game, his teammates built up his legacy, saying he is one of the league’s best-ever pitchers. Kershaw, though, brushed aside questions about his legacy.

“I don’t care about any of that, man. We won the World Series. I don’t care about legacy,” he said. “… All that other stuff is just pointless. It doesn’t matter.”

A new rewritten Bible with each word listed alphabetically for each book of the Bible was just released by a group of creatives called Sideline Collective, The Christian Post reports.

The project is called “Bible The.”

According to the project’s website, “Each book is completely reorganized from A-Z.” 

The group claims that “this distills each text down to its lowest common denominator. It highlights the importance people tend to place on the order of said words – and their meaning – and allows for new and interesting interpretations of the written word, in much the same way as an abstract painting might.”

Reportedly, the project is meant to show how people focus a little too much on word order rather than trying to decipher the meaning of the words and what the Bible is actually saying.

“Starting with the first book in the series – ‘Bible The’ – the entire King James Bible, is reorganized and reprinted in alphabetical order. The result is a reductionist interpretation of the text that reveals some fascinating observations,” the project’s website says.

The group claims that the Bible has “likely unconscious and cultural” biases that may have changed how we were supposed to read it.

By listing off the number of times certain words were used, the group concluded that the Bible may have cultural biases toward…

Hillsong Church is launching an Atlanta, Georgia campus that will be led by husband and wife Sam and Toni Collier.

According to The Christian Post, the Colliers will be the first Black lead pastors of a Hillsong church. They also have a daughter, Dylan.

“We want to start a movement that not only changes Atlanta, but changes the world,” Sam Collier, founder of A Greater Story Ministries, told The Christian Post. “Just like God did with Martin Luther King Jr. in Atlanta nearly 60 years ago, there was a model that was built that went on to impact the entire world. We want to be a model of unity and understanding and bring about revival.”

Hillsong Atlanta will work to “reach and influence the world by building a large Christ-centered, Bible-based church, changing mindsets and empowering people to lead and impact in every sphere of life.”

“Hillsong Atlanta is the marrying of many different worlds, racially, and even politically, to represent the fullness of God,” he said. “What better place to launch a church with this vision than in the birthplace of civil rights?” 

Collier is the author of A Greater Story and previously worked at Andy Stanley’s Atlanta church, North Point Community Church.

“When I discussed church planting with Andy, he told me, “Sam, I think you want to build a different type of church, and that’s OK. God does His…

Covington County Sheriff’s Office in Collins, Mississippi celebrated the baptism of seventeen inmates last week, according to NBC 12.

“We hope this is a new start and will change the lives of these and many more,” a Facebook post from the office said.

Attached to the post were two pictures of four women in pink jumpsuits and thirteen men in striped jumpsuits who were baptized.

Hundreds of well-wishers congratulated the inmates on their decision.

“It’s wonderful that you all have chosen a new way. Our Lord Jesus Christ will always be there to comfort & take care of you. However, when he answers your prayers, it may not always be what you had in mind. But trust in Him for he is the only Way,” said one.

“God moves no matter the location or situation!” said another.

Several family members and friends celebrated inmates by name.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, former inmate Alfio made an 11-foot cross that the Hollywood Impact Studios’ prison ministry can use to further their evangelism in the Los Angeles County prison system.

“We have to appreciate the sacrifice,” Alfio said, according to Christian Headlines. The large cross is intended to “[spell] out the pain Jesus went through.”

Alfio, who was arrested more than 50 times, said he realized that he needed to “pick a side and I picked Jesus Christ. He said, ‘Follow me and it’ll be…

On Sunday, Pope Francis announced that Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Washington, D.C. will be America’s first Black Cardinal.

Gregory, who was alive during the Civil Rights Era, thanked Pope Francis in a statement obtained by The Christian Post. “With a very grateful and humble heart, I thank Pope Francis for this appointment which will allow me to work more closely with him in caring for Christ’s Church,” he said Sunday.

Gregory, who is now 72 years old, made headlines when he spoke against Derek Chauvin for killing George Floyd. “Many of us remember similar incidents in our history that accompanied the Civil Rights Movement, where we repeatedly saw Black Americans viciously brutalized by police on television and in newspaper photos. The horror of George Floyd’s death, like all acts of racism, hurts all of us in the Body of Christ since we are each made in the image and likeness of God, and deserve the dignity that comes with that existence,” he said in a statement on the Archbishop of Washington website.

The archbishop was also highly critical of President Trump, stating he thought Catholics were being “manipulated” by the President in a way that “violates our religious principles.” One of these principles includes the need to “defend the rights of all people, even those with whom we disagree.”

In total, there are roughly 72 million Catholics in America. Of that, some…

Just before debating Democrat candidate Joe Biden last week, President Trump pardoned an Indiana man who was serving life in prison for a non-violent crime, Faithwire reports.

President Trump pardoned Charles Duke Tanner because his life imprisonment sentence was a non-violent, first offense drug charge.

Tanner was imprisoned under Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden’s 1994 crime bill which landed millions of Black Americans in the prison system.

In a video uploaded to Twitter, Tanner thanked President Trump and credited God with his pardon.

“First and foremost, I wanna give all the praise and glory to God,” he said in the video. “Thank you for hearing me. But President Trump, I just want to thank you for giving me a second chance and believing in me and reading my petition. I’m just so thankful.”

The video was uploaded to Twitter and tweeted by Alex Bruesewitz, a conservative advisor to politicians, foundations and organizations.
