This story from Bolivia shows how Christians today are making a real difference. A strict upbringing taught Ruth Leigh to repress her emotions and, ultimately, turned her away from faith. But God is more interested in authentic relationships than perfect Christians, she says. Rich Smith has travelled to some of the poorest regions on earth and seen the most severe effects of global warming with his own eyes. Here in the UK, we may still be able to feed our families, he says, but, make no mistake, climate change will affect us all.

Reviews Midnight Mass: The Christian horror series with a challenging message for the Church TZ Midnight Mass contains some of the fairest treatments of Christian characters ever seen, says our reviewer.
A more Christ-like response is required TZ When it comes to helping the hurting, Jesus modelled a unique approach. It'll bring about terrorist bombs; it'll bring earthquakes, tornadoes, and possibly a meteor.
Christ is the head of the household, and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, 'We will serve you if you will get us free from the prince.
And so the devil said, 'OK, it's a deal. The Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after another.
Many were homosexuals. Did you, personally, not feel that sexual morality was the be-all and end-all of Christian morality? I was a TV guy! We all had a mission — to restore the USA to a godly nation. The fact that all that revolves around sex — it was convenient.
Pat is a politician who happens to be a minister. He grew up as a Southern aristocrat in Virginia. His father was a US senator. It was the day it happened. But he called me and prayed with me. People are living, breathing, and practicing lies.
What do you make of that? As smart as Pat Robertson is, and as good as he is at marketing, he is also highly susceptible to his own hype. In that way, Trump plays him like a piano.

I remember one show that we were taping in which Pat prayed that God would kill the Supreme Court justices.
Because in terms of media development, the church — the message of evangelicalism — has always been at the forefront [of technology]. In the early days of radio, the church was ever-present. In the early days of television, the church was very present. In the early days of satellite — two of the 10 transponders on the first satellite were owned by Christian organizations. So when the Web came along and nobody of the faith went near it, that fact caused me to have an epiphany, if you will.
