Can We Trust That The Bible Has The "right" Books? By: Jo Ann LeQuang | - Today, we know that the Bible contains 66 books, 39 Old Testament books and 27 New Testament books. But where did they come from? How do we know that these are the "right" books? Scholars have explored the issue of Biblical canon to help us better understand why certain writing were accepted and other writings excluded. But this is a big question for Christians or other people who want to view the Bible as an authoritative document.
Point You To Worship By: Ed Young | - After about 30 minutes I stopped and turned around. Wow. What a perspective. The hotel looked tiny with the Dead Sea behind it. I had an intense time of worship on that mountain in the middle of the dessert. I looked at my hands and said, God, thank you for changing my life. As I looked at the Dead Sea I thought to myself that I had been dead yet He made me alive when I received Him. That was my first act of worship. Then I thought about the mountain being a mountain of worship rep ... Tags:ed young, fellowship church grapevine, ed young jr

A Gospel Snapshot: Here I Am, Lord! Send Me! Please Lord, I'm Ready, Willing And Able! By: Roger Himes | - Isaiah heard the voice of the Lord asking, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Isaiah responded, "Here am I! Send me!" (Isa 6:8). It is a commendable thing to be willing to serve the Lord. In fact, every Christian should have this desire deep in them - whether it's overseas long term missions, short term missions, our local communities, or even just our own church. Acts 1:8 speaks of witnessing (a) in Jerusalem, (b) Judea, (c) Samaria, and (d) the uttermost parts.
Biblical Prophecies Of Jesus Christ And His Mission Of Salvation By: Garth Wheeler | - Christians believe that the messianic mission of Jesus Christ is the single greatest event of the world. In fact, they believe that the entire existence of mans eternal life rested in the hands of Christ and his mission. If he had not atoned for the sins of mankind, then all of mankind would have been doomed to be angels to the devil. Therefore all of Gods prophets have foretold of Christs mission and what he would do for mankind. In fact, some of the Old Testament lives are examples or type ...

First, we are shown a self-righteous Pharisee looking up toward God and saying, God, I thank Thee that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

Reluctance And Inadequacy In Coming Before God By: Stephen Lau | - In the Bible, there were many instances showing man's reluctance to come before God. Such reluctance might have stemmed from man's own inadequacy -- which, paradoxically, is a positive sign of salvation. Only when we become humble, fully aware of our own inadequacy, then we begin to come before God. The Bible reiterates this recurrent theme -- the weakest shall be the strongest, and the last shall be the first.
When Isaiah was asked to be the messenger of God to his people, Isaiah s ... Tags:come before God
Lessons For The Church From Isaiah (chapter 1) By: Denny Smith | - Paul says, in Rom. 15:4, For whatever things were written before were written for our learning (NKJV) as he writes to the saints (Christians) in Rome (Rom. 1:7 NKJV). The prophetic book of Isaiah written hundreds of years before Christ can teach us much about God what pleases him, what displeases him, his nature (who he is, what or how he feels, his thoughts), his sense of justice, etc. I think most of us would like to know God better and Isaiah gives us that opportunity.

The Promised One By: Jerry Richard Boone | - God's Prophecy of a Blessing
Old Testament prophecy was not exclusively about the rise and fall of cities and states. No, not at all. In fact, a good portion of the prophecies were devoted to unraveling a mystery. It all began at least as far back as 2091 B.C. God told Abram (later called Abraham): "Everyone on earth will be blessed because of you." (Genesis 12:3 CEV)
God exists. The soul survives death. And the wisest man who ever lived told us what to do with our lives. What more can be said? Quite a bit, say the ancient Hebrews. According to them, we have barely begun to scratch the surface. They tell us that their race has been favored with a number of special revelations. Those special revelations, they claim, bring a unique Jewish insight into the relationship between God and man.
When Religion Fails In America - Prophecy Will Not By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - In America secular forces are actively trying to give Christianity the boot. Day by day trusted biblical precepts are being scoffed at, openly ignored and actively fought against.
America chooses to ignore its foundations in the bible while Europe is rising on the world's stage as a super power with no anchor, allusion or claim to any religion but secularism. What is the end of all this and where will it lead?

The Journey Into Prophetic Worship - 2 By: Pablo Perez | - Worship leaders must pay close attention to God's leading, before and during the worship service. He knows what the congregation needs and will give new songs, words and heavenly melodies that prepare and renew His people.
What kind of leading is available? Well, listen to the prophet Isaiah: Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it,' whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left (Is. 30:21).
The Music Of His Presence - 3 By: Pablo Perez | - I would like to briefly highlight one of the most powerful dimensions of the music of His Presencethe song of the beloved.
There is a song that our Heavenly Bridegroom sings.
As the prophet Isaiah said: Let me (as God's representative) sing of and for my greatly Beloved (God, the Son) a tender song of my Beloved concerning His vineyard (His chosen people) (Is. 5:1 Amp).
His body would probably have been thrown into a common grave set apart for criminals.
