Francis Chan: Christians Will Be Relevant If They Become Rejects, Stand With Jesus
WASHINGTON — Popular pastor and New York Times bestselling author Francis Chan urged thousands of Christians gathered on the National Mall Saturday to stand together as "rejects" in the face of the world.
Chan, the founder of Radius International and former teaching pastor of Cornerstone Community Church in Simi Valley, California, took the stage at Together 2016, an all-day gathering that featured about 40 popular Christian speakers, artists, authors and performers organized by Pulse and its founder Nick Hall.

Garland-Green TsukikuroiMai I agree we need to stand with Jesus, but we must not take 'popular' media at its claims. Put their words against those of the Lord Himself. If they align with His Word, then follow... otherwise, pray, pray, pray, and when tired, pray some more!! Did you see anything when reading the article that did not agree with Scripture?
Not really, but I do that with everything, for the most part, lol. |

I agree with your means of testing the validity of claims. 3nodding "Put their words against those of the Lord Himself." It is sound advice. |
