Christian News is a newspaper that covers current events in the theological secular arenas and how they affect your church and life.
Christian News is not an official organ of any church-body, but an independent publication designed to supply rank and file Christians with information needed to face the present crises in Christendom.
Christian News is not a doctrinally neutral observer, but is committed to the full historic Christian faith, as it is authoritatively revealed in the written Word of God, the Holy Scriptures, and correctly set forth in the Confessions of the Orthodox Church to wit, the Book of Concord in 1580.
Gospel Reductionism
Rev. Micheal Strong What does that fancy phrase mean and why should I care? It isn’t a common term. Many people within my church body, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, and most people outside of the LC—MS have never heard it. But it expresses a teaching that is contrary to the orthodox Christian faith. The “Christian … Continue reading Gospel Reductionism
Emulate The Cloud Of Witnesses
Rev. Daniel Fleischer Parents have long ago passed from time to eternity. The house in which I was born is gone. Another in which I lived is now replaced by a parking lot. The high school from which I graduated no longer exists. I cannot go home again. I can dream, but not recapture the … Continue reading Emulate The Cloud Of Witnesses
Is it Wrong to Display the American Flag in a Church?
First, the Bible itself does not mention flags or church decorations, so we must think through the reasoning for allowing or disallowing a particular flag in a church building. It would be strange to have an American flag in a church located in a country that is not America!

Contemplating a Presidential Proclamation Designating “Gluttony Month” & “Sloth Month”

When the chief executive designates the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day that is a cost-free public relations stunt which shoves up approval ratings and provides feel-good vibes to a select group. No harm done... right? However, a presidential proclamation … Continue reading Contemplating a Presidential Proclamation Designating “Gluttony Month” & “Sloth Month”

Mental Health or Atrophy?
Mental health as a concept is used to justify not dealing with problems and also avoiding responsibilities—even divine ones like the vocation of being a husband, wife, or parent. But the mind is not like the body. The idea that not burdening the person with problems runs counter to how physical health is respected in … Continue reading Mental Health or Atrophy?
How about posting the Ten Commandments in churches?
The answer is not outward—to post a physical copy to read, observe, or notice externally—no matter the location. We are to post them on our heart—not stone, paper, or cardboard: “Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart (Proverbs 3:3).” Only … Continue reading How about posting the Ten Commandments in churches?

That question used to provide a moment of tautological fellowship for all of us, but with one terse declaration from the current pope that good-humored moment has completely evaporated. In a recent network television interview Pope Francis declared to his American audience, “Conservatism is a suicidal attitude.”1 His … Continue reading Progressivism: The Fire Sale Philosophy of Hardhearted Prodigals
