As Christians, we are compelled to share our Faith and to spread God's word to others. However, for some of us, this is easier to do than it is for others. Approaching others about the Lord or talking about your Faith is especially difficult if you are a shy person. Thankfully, there are effective ways for even the shyest of people to share God's message with others while still staying within their comfort zone. The Internet is making it easier than ever to meet up with other... more...

Self help is making a resurgence once again. With the rates of depression, and more and more people using medication to try and solve their problems, many are seeking a way to change their lives for better, for the good. Many of the latest crop of books deal with the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction teaches that we can attract into our lives what we want by what we think. Although I believe this is true, I also believe that this is only part of the equation. The other part of the ... more...

Things have been changing in the culture of Christian youth today. They are not longer shy about their Faith. What used to be hidden is now proudly displayed for the world to see. Christian teens and young adults are now finding ways to express their belief in the Lord with pride and without apologies. The bond of young Christians are often being started at their churches youth groups. Here they study the Bible and talk about their relationships with Jesus. Meeting up with other youn... more...

Eternal security is an issue of vital importance in the church today. There is a popular expression that says "Once saved, always saved." If that statement is true then we can rejoice in the security of knowing that once we have experienced the new birth in Christ we are assured of heaven. There are many believers, however, who fear that it is possible for a born-again believer in Christ to fall away from God to such an extent that he or she will end up in hell. The purp... more...

The Bible is certainly one of the books with most influence. Many Christians own a well-worn dog-eared bible which they've taken with them for many years. The improvements in technology led to dramtized audio Bibles. These bibles in audio format have made this document much more accessible to a larger audience. It doesn't matter if you have reading issues or if you can't hold a heavy book, or if you simply don't have enough spare time to sit and read. With an audio Bible d... more...

If you've looked over the best seller lists recently you may have noticed two new books that champion the cause of atheism. One is by the Englishman, Richard Dawkins and the other, titled "Letter to a Christian Nation" is by the American, Sam Harris. I didn't give the title of Dawkins' book because the title itself is a blasphemous statement. Dawkins, Harris and other atheist authors including Christopher Hitchens form the vanguard of a new atheist militancy. <... more...

I went looking for "online" and "kiosk" in my bible concordance to see what Jesus thought about digital donating. I didn't find anything. But then again, I didn't find "write a check" either. I did find several passages about bringing in crops and goats. Don't worry, there are provisions for what to do if you are truly blessed and cannot carry your crops and goats all the way to church. Deuteronomy 14:22-26 says you can convert them to silver (SILVER min... more...

Christians are finding new ways to evangelize. These new methods are part of the evangelism lifestyle. A lot of Christians have been wearing their witness by wearing Christian clothing, but today, many Christians are choosing to express their Faith by wearing Christian jewelry. The idea of evangelism and expressing your Faith to attract others to the Lord can be found in the Bible, "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us." 2... more...

Without any hesitation my son threw an entire glass of soda on my new wife while we were waiting for food in a restaurant. I don't even remember what the argument was about. It was just a small difference of opinion that escalated as if spurred by a demon force that wanted to destroy my marriage! In a flash, what was going to be a fun time with dinner and a movie, turned into whom did I love more, my eleven year old son or my new wife. Immediately I paid for the pop and we all lef... more...

For many years now people have been able to watch religious programming on network television stations like NBC, ABC, and CBS. There are not as many on these stations today as there once was on Sunday morning. Some of these programs were the only way that some people like the elderly or disabled could see a religious service. Today through satellite and cable television channels, there is a huge variety of religious programming to choose from. The selection of religions shows that people ... more...

Many Christian married couples have yet to experience a fulfilling sexuality. Yet, it is an essential ingredient for a vital Christian marriage. Here are 7 barriers to a fun and fulfilling lovemaking for Christian married couples 1. Not knowing what God says about sex The first commandment God gave was to engage in sex (Genesis 1: 27-28.) God had just created humanity in His image, commanded them to be "fruitful and multiply", and then commented "it was good" (G... more...

Secularists claim that they rely on science and reason to support their beliefs. Many vocal secularists claim that Christians rely on blind faith and believe things contrary to science and reason. This is a gross misunderstanding of the underpinnings of Christian belief. The fact is SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE AGREE! Christianity is a faith. We openly admit this fact. However, it is not a blind faith. It is a faith based on hard evidence. God has revealed Himself to humanity and has g... more...

After the crucifixion of Christ on Golgotha, many of his followers spread throughout the world and continued the message of God's love for the world. Some rulers felt very threatened by these teachings and they began to kill Christians wherever they could be found. Christians developed a sign for their Christian beliefs and would mark the ground and other areas with a sign of a fish. The fish signs used in Christianity have been expanded to be more expressive of the amount of faith s... more...

Brilliant thinkers and spiritual scholars lined the room as they talked and poured over a great table filled with manuscripts. They ran quickly to the over flowing book shelves looking for even more documents to explain the strange occurrence that was stirring in the cosmos. An incredible new sight lit up the night sky and it even shone brightly during the light of day! They pulled out every parchment where the stars were precisely diagramed. With an excitement of revitalized energy t... more...

I was sitting at the dinner table with three of my grandchildren who ranged from age one to four. We were laughing and talking about the days events, when Samuel turned towards me and said, "I love you, grandma". His face shone with the brightest smile as if he had just come to a big revelation about how he was feeling in his heart. I smiled back at him and returned the words of love. This was not the first time that he said these words to me. In fact, since he could speak th... more...

How can an organization that claims to be the ambassador of the creator of the heavens and earth become so ineffective at a global level? How can an organization that claims to be the ambassador of the one who created life lose so much influence over time? How can an institution that claims to be the ambassador of the one who is intimately involved in His creation be so divided? How can an organization that claims to be the ambassador of the one and only true God create such a disappointing chur... more...

The Christian fish symbol, known as the Ichthus dates back to as early as the first and second century A.D. The symbol is not just a sticker that people put on their bumpers or a charm on a necklace, it has a much deeper meaning and is very significant to both early Christians and the Christians of today. Ichthus, also spelled ichthys is the Greek word for fish. The spelling in Greek is IXOYE for Iota, Chi, Theta, Upsilon, and Sigma which mean Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. At... more...

I was less than two years old when I walked right out of our Naval issued housing apartment and right into the deep end of the pool that was close to our home. My head plunged under the water and I gasped for air while pleading for help. I could see several people watching my desperate splashing and head bobbing. Within minutes I was pulled out and my mother was at my side to take me home. Years later my mother recounted the story and how she handled my toddler experience. She h... more...

The Da Vinci Code, a best selling novel, has garnered a great deal of attention in recent days. The story line consists of medieval theories, legends and lore woven into a postmodern thriller novel with political overtones. The novel also makes some very serious direct attacks on the Christian faith. Let me emphasize the word "novel" because it is clearly a work of fiction and is not fact. Any serious scholar who examines this book is drawn to the conclusion that it is me... more...

If you've heard of the best-selling book called "The Secret" you know it has become huge! The concept is, by using this "secret," which is The Law of Attraction, you can create anything you want in your life: more money, a bigger house, more business, a new mate, literally anything you want! While "The Secret" has many truths in it, it also has many flaws. For one thing I personally disagree with the notion that a person can have just anythin... more...
