Prophetic Dream? Dolly Parton’s New Song Issues Staunch Warning to Believers
Dolly Parton isn’t taking a recent dream she had lightly. The iconic country music star says the dream she received months ago is a staunch warning for believers everywhere.

“I finished it as things would come to me, and I just felt like I should drop it on my birthday,” Parton says. “It is a song that came to me in a dream and I felt like it was worth putting out there. It’s something special. Well, it’s special to me.”

What Did Andy Stanley Actually Say in Sermon Clip on Gay Christians?
No short of a frenzy has transpired since North Point pastor Andy Stanley’s viral sermon clip about gay Christians started circulating across the web. Everyone from pastors to LGBTQ activists have chimed in on a nearly two-minute clip to give their hardline thoughts and opinions.
As many know, a two minute clip that cuts in at the middle of a sentence and ends not long thereafter might not display an entire picture of a message. We researched the scope of Stanley’s messages on “The Faith of the Next Generation,” over the years he has been preaching on the topic.
