Every now and then, I find that some of my secular reading contains a gem or two that has interesting spiritual connotations. This week, for instance, while I was perusing the May 2008 issue of Harvard Business Review, I came across a very interesting article entitled: Strategy as a Wicked Problem. Now, I was intrigued by their use of the term ...

We often look at witnessing as being an activity that is primarily beneficial to the recipient of the witnessing endeavor.  It is, after all, their salvation that is at stake.  But, there is an oft ignored benefit to the one who is doing the witnessing -- and it is a significant one. One of the reasons that God has commissioned us to ...

A couple of weeks ago, I went to a weekend seminar on Evangelism, and one of the things that was presented was that the primary purpose of Evangelism is to make more worshippers.    Not just mere converts, but worshippers. Worship is active.   Very active. There are too many people who accept religion, who believe in ...

As parents, there are a few things we should consider when we look at what the Bible tells us about training our children in matters of spiritual significance: Are we taking our responsibilities as parents seriously? Do we make our children's spiritual education a priority? Are we presenting an example that is at odds with what we tell our ...

At the very heart of it, our salvation is based on our relationship with Jesus Christ.  And yes, it does matter what we believe! It's also very important whom we believe in, and how we maintain that relationship. Check out the following presentation about the right type of spiritual relationship... PowerPoint 2003 format...

Here's a common question:  How important are the various beliefs that Christians have if salvation is really all about knowing Jesus? In short, does it really matter what we believe if we all love Jesus Christ and accept Him as our Savior? Clearly, we are not saved because of the set of beliefs we hold near and dear to our hearts.  ...

Here is an interesting article from the Encyclopedia Britannica about Jesus Christ, including the miracles He performed during His earthly ministry. These are also recorded in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

It is the Holy Spirit which guides us into all spiritual truth. Just before Jesus was crucified, He promised His disciples that when He went back to Heaven to mediate on our behalf, He would send someone else to be a comforter to His followers. John 14:16-18 KJV(16) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may ...

  I was reading Acts 13,14 this morning, and I came across the passage in Acts 14:15 that uses the phrase: ''the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein''   So I decided to see how many times the Bible talks about Heaven, Earth and Sea in the context of Creation or an affirmation ...

Some of the questions that often come up for new believers are: What role does the Bible play in the life of the Christian? Does the Bible save us? How important is Bible Study?   The Bible is very important to the Christian, as it is the written revelation of God.  The Written Word.  Its job is to point us to Jesus Christ, the ...

The concept of Freedom of the Will for mankind is not universally accepted in Christendom.  Virtually all Christians believe that God is all-knowing.  Many Christians, however, go the extra step and suggest that because God knows everything that will be done, that mankind (or any other creature, for that matter) essentially has no choice ...

I've come across what looks to be a very nice website called EveryStudent.com.  It features a number of good articles such as Why You Can Believe The Bible and Knowing God Personally. Another good article, this time from the Amazing Facts website, is: Who Is Christ? Over the next week or so, I intend to provide links for a number of other ...

In studying the book of Jonah, which is a fairly short book, I have found the following eight lessons.  There are more, but these stand out the most to me: God calls us to service as is necessary to fulfill his purposes… When we choose to serve God, we are committing our lives to Him to guide and direct us according to His ...

One of the big tests for religion, particularly Christianity, is the ability to prove that God exists. As interesting as it seems, the Bible does not ''prove'' the existence of God -- rather, it assumes it.  Genesis starts of with ''In the beginning, God...'' and it provides no explanation or apology for God's existence. There are many who ...
