True to their nature, demons in the Bible are a tricky category — much harder to pin down than angels. Angels, despite having many types or kinds throughout the Bible, are mostly referred to with Hebrew and Greek words meaning "messenger." Demons, though, can refer to many different beings in the Bible.
As a rule, demons in the Old Testament are more varied, ambiguous, and frightening than demons in the New Testament. While the latter are not to be trifled with — they can cause all sorts of harm to people — the former often appear to be much more ancient and cosmically powerful. But there are exceptions. |

March 16 — Global benevolence declined last year according to Gallup, with fewer people helping strangers (56%, down 6%), donating money (33%, down 4%), or volunteering (26%, down 4%) in 2024 compared to 2023. Economic pressures and "philanthropic fatigue" are key factors, alongside reduced international aid from countries like the U.S. and U.K. Charitable activity still surpasses pre-2006 levels, but concerns about the future persist. (Baptist News Global) |
| March 16 — The National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) passed a motion calling for reforms in U.S. foreign aid while stressing gospel values and the call to care for the vulnerable in passages such as Luke 12:48 and 2 Corinthians 9:6–8. The NAE's motion advocates for collaboration between private donors, faith-based groups, and government resources, inspired by passages like Nehemiah 2:1–10, Ezra 1:1–8, and Luke 7:1–6. (Christian Daily) |
| March 16 — Are science and faith at odds? Many believe they are, but others argue modern science would not exist without Christian theology, which views nature as a form of divine revelation (Ps. 19:1, Rm. 1:20). Early scientists like Roger Bacon and Isaac Newton sought to uncover God's laws of creation (Jr. 33:25), and even modern breakthroughs like the Big Bang theory, proposed by Rev. Georges Lemaître, show Biblical overlap (Gn. 1:1). (Christian Today) |

Beliefs about angels are typically an amalgam of what people pick up from popular culture, what they remember from childhood cartoons, and what they have culled from casual Bible reading. So, what can we know with confidence about these elusive celestial spirits? |
| People pleasing at its core is this: when we put everyone else's preferences and opinions above our own or above what we know is true and right for the purpose of gaining acceptance and approval or to avoid criticism.
Scripture does talk about not thinking more highly of ourselves than we should. Jesus does teach about going the extra mile for others.
But there's an important difference. |
