E! News reports:

For Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger Sunday mornings were for churchgoing. It wasn’t just because they shared a strong devotion to their faith, with Pratt theorizing his Christianity was something he could give back to the world in thanks for his many blessings. “Nothing fills my soul more than to think that maybe some kid watching that would say, ‘Hey, I’ve been thinking about that. I’ve been thinking about praying. Let me try that out,'” he recently told the AP. But behind that connection, in a way, the pair could thank God for bringing them together, seeing as how Schwarzenegger’s mother Maria Shriver played matchmaker after meeting the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom star through church.

Pratt split from wife Anna Faris in August 2017. Their divorce was finalized in November 2018.

Driving along the route known as the Way of the Patriarchs in Samaria, the heart of biblical Israel, you’ll come to ancient Shiloh.

The Bible says this is the place where Joshua parceled out the promised land to the 12 tribes of Israel. It’s also where the tabernacle of the Lord stood for more than 300 years.

Dr. Scott Stripling directs the excavations at Shiloh. Along with dozens of volunteers, he and his crew are digging into history.

“Welcome to ancient Shiloh,” Stripling greeted us. “This is the first capital of ancient Israel, and it’s a sacred spot because the Mishkan was here, the tabernacle, where people came to connect with God.”

“We’re dealing with real people, real places, real events,” he continued. “This is not mythology. The coins that we excavated today—we’re talking about coins of Herod the Great, Pontius Pilate, Thestos, Felix, Agrippa the First, Agrippa the Second. The Bible talks about these people. We’ve got the image right here.”

That “image” includes a fortified wall built by the Canaanites. The team finds a treasure trove of artifacts there, which includes ancient coins and some 2,000 pieces of pottery a day. {eoa}

A post shared by Tim Tebow (@timtebow) on Jan 10, 2019 at 11:24am PST

Tebow popped the question to Miss Universe 2017 Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters and announced it on Instagram Thursday.

“It’s wonderful to be able to share my life experiences with somebody who’s so understanding and supportive. He supports me in everything that I do. He’s just the sweetest person ever and it’s such an honor for me to be able to get to share my experiences with him,” Nel-Peters previously told Fox.

As for Tebow, “I’m just so blessed. I’ve got a lot to be thankful for.”

GodTV says Nel-Peters is a “Woman who truly fears God.”

I watched as He opened the sixth seal. And suddenly there was a great earthquake. The sun became black, like sackcloth made from goat hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when it is shaken by a strong wind. Then the heavens receded like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place (Rev. 6:12-14).

The evening of Jan. 20 into Jan. 21, a rare super blood wolf moon will be visible across the United States.

Though secular observers say it’s just an interesting astronomical phenomenon, eschatologists see a deeper significance.

“This may be more significant than I thought, but we’ll see. Everything’s up to God,” according to the host of Decoding the End Times on YouTube.

What does all of this have to do with Revelation, Acts, Bible matrices and even the president? Watch the video to see!

After being in a spotlight of controversy for weeks regarding her stance on homosexuality, well-known Christian artist Lauren Daigle is now saying she doesn’t consider herself a Christian artist, but simply an “artist.”

Over the past year, Daigle has become increasingly more famous, performing her music on shows usually reserved for secular music, including Good Morning America, Dancing With the Stars and The Tonight Show.

As her music becomes more mainstream, even being played on Shonda Rhimes’ Grey’s Anatomy, many are wondering what is next musically for the Louisiana native. {eoa}

“I wrote this book to help people that are struggling in their faith to overcome hurts habits, hang ups, addictions,” Branson shares in a recent episode of the “Charisma Connection” podcast.

“But, you know, addictions cover a lot of things these days. You can be addicted to shopping. You can be addicted to electronics, to work, even to your ministry. But also, there are people with the opioid crisis that we have here in the United States that are really dealing with hard issues like alcohol and drug addiction and abuse. There are sexual addictions that are rampant in the United States. And so this book is an attempt to address those types of issues and help people grow in their Christian faith that are struggling in those areas.”

Branson says there are five keys to freedom if you want to break free from addiction.

Listen to the podcast to find out what they are.

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, has warned that the meteoric rise in smartphone usage may be cause for serious concern—namely, the coming of the Antichrist.

In an interview on Russian State Television Monday, the long-time Putin ally made a rather outlandish claim that the internet has opened the possibility for “universal control over humanity.”

“Such control from one place forebodes the coming of the Antichrist,” Moscow’s Patriarch continued, as reported by the Telegraph. “The Antichrist is the person that will be at the head of the world wide web controlling all of humanity. That means that the structure itself poses a danger. There shouldn’t be a single center, at least not in the foreseeable future, if we don’t want to bring on the apocalypse.” {eoa}

Last year tried to kill John Gray, the Relentless Church pastor says.

“I need you to hear this prophetically that what was trying to bury you, you’re going to bury it,” Gray says.

He then told the congregation about the suicidal struggles he wrestled with in the last year.

“The truth is, some of the stuff that tried to kill me, I helped. Nobody wants to shout. Everybody needs to know some stuff wasn’t the devil, some stuff was you. It would be great if we shout for that too, because when you shout for that what you’re saying is I take personal responsibility,” he says in the sermon posted to YouTube.

“And let me help you. Some stuff, you can’t slap oil on your forehead and ask for it to go away. Some stuff you gon’ have to work out. Some stuff you gon’ have to walk out. And you gonna need some certified Christian counseling and some therapy.”
