WASHINGTON (ABP) -- Some Christians in the United States are quick to
cry “persecution” if courts, schools or businesses fail to favor their
religion above others. But in places around the world where Christians
face beatings, economic reprisal, imprisonment or even death because of
their faith, Americans' claims of religious persecution in the United
States ring hollow.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (ABP) -- Throughout his December concerts, Christian recording artist Chris Tomlin is seeking to do more than spread Yuletide cheer. He wants young worshippers to find new meaning in traditional Christmas carols.
“The lyrics of these songs are so beautiful, and the stories behind these songs are so amazing,” Tomlin said. “They are some of the greatest songs ever written.
“I hope it brings people back to the heart of the way these traditional Christ-mas songs were written. They are songs of worship. … Too many times, we just go through the motions when we sing these songs, because we have been singing them for so many years and take them for granted.”
