Seattle, WA - Concert-goers got more than they were expecting when, in the midst of a set, a Coldplay Concert suddenly broke out into an impromptu altar call.

Halfway into their hot single "My Universe" featuring K-Pop group BTS, a large crowd began to form at the base of the stage. Surprisingly, one by one each person dropped to their knees, arms outstretched, loudly proclaiming their need for Chris Martin and then prayed the lyrics to "Hymn for the Weekend" with one another to accept Coldplay into their hearts.

One attendee we interviewed who called herself Jenna told us, "... It was such an emotional moment. I was such a skeptic before, and I didn't even really think that Coldplay was a real band, and if it was, I didn't really care, anyway. The world is so big, so why should Coldplay care about me? But once I heard that chorus, I realized that it didn't matter how big their fan base was, I knew that I could be their universe and have a personal relationship with them."

Jenna went on to share her newfound enthusiasm as a "Coldplayer," the title adopted by new followers. She continued on, saying, "I totally plan on coming back every week and becoming a member of their fan club! Well... actually I have to work, and the next week I have other plans, but Chris Martin totally changed my life and I'm a new person! You can still be a Coldplay fan without going every week, right?"

Another person remarked, "This was just like a Sunday service I went to with a friend at that Crucible Chantry place down the street, but without some crazy story about people getting beamed up and Apache helicopters and zombies! The lights and fog machines are way better here too."

Coldplay’s spokesperson denied any allegations of proselytism, saying that the band’s intention was to “create a positive and memorable experience for their fans”. “Coldplay is not a religious band, nor are they affiliated with any church or denomination. They are simply expressing their artistic vision and sharing their message of hope and peace with the world. Any resemblance to an altar call is purely coincidental and unintentional.”

The spokesperson also added that the band respects the beliefs and opinions of all their fans, regardless of their faith or background. “Coldplay welcomes everyone to their concerts, and they hope that everyone can enjoy their music and have fun. They do not judge anyone or force anyone to do anything they don’t want to do. They just want to spread some love and joy in these troubled times.”

Dave Ramsey Flags Reformation Heritage Books as “Spiritual Treasure, Budgetary Trap”

Financial guru says the Puritans are great, but maxing out your credit card for a 12‑volume set on covenant theology is not a “baby step.” NASHVILLE — Personal finance icon Dave Ramsey has reportedly issued a pointed caution to Christians everywhere: Reformation Heritage Books is a spiritual danger to your budget, and one careless click on “Complete Works of John Owen” could slide you straight back into the “debt spiral” he has spent decades trying to prevent. According to sources familiar with the matter, the warning came during a segment on “biblically responsible spending,” when a caller asked whether it was wise to purchase a multi‑volume set of Reformed classics on a credit card. “Look,” Ramsey reportedly replied, “I love the Puritans. I love deep theology. I do not love you going into debt for a book you will read six pages of before you fall asleep.” Ramsey’s team is said to have flagged Reformation Heritage Books not because the content is bad, but because the catalog is long, ...

Shane & Shane’s Newest Partnership: Slayer

Bethel Music Out, “Reign in Worship” Begins In a shocking turn of events, the popular Christian worship duo Shane and Shane responded to the public backlash and have announced that they are canceling their planned collaboration with Bethel music, citing "creative differences" and "theological concerns".

"We feel that Slayer is a better fit for our vision and message," said Shane Barnard, one half of the duo. "They are passionate, authentic, and not afraid to challenge the status quo.

April Atheists Day

Pictured: logo of the National Atheist Party (unaffiliated) April Fools’ Day is a well-known tradition of pranking and joking around with friends and family. But did you know that it is also a holiday for atheists? That’s right, every year on April 1st, atheists celebrate their disbelief in God and mock the religious beliefs of others. According to some historians, April Fools’ Day originated from the medieval practice of changing the calendar from the Julian to the Gregorian system, which moved the start of the new year from March 25th to January 1st. Those who refused to accept the change or were unaware of it were called “April fools” and ridiculed by others. Some atheists claim that this date has now become a symbolic representation of their rejection of the Christian faith and its calendar. May atheists now hold that April Fools’ Day has become a day of celebration and liberation from the tyranny and oppression of religion. They argue that religion is based on superstit...
