Bible Lessons For Youth: Chili Crab By: KenSapp | - While living in Singapore I have loved the ethnic variety of the food. One of my favorite foods is Chili Crab.

Its life is marked by a passage through successive shells until a shell is built so durable that it cannot be broken. This shell stops growth and then becomes the ...

Does God Improve Our Old Self Or Make Us New? By: Mark Virkler | - I was praying one day and thinking about two differing Christian theories. One theory is the idea that with salvation our old self is replaced with a new self. The other theory is that our old self is gradually improved over time into a new self. So, I asked God about these theories.
Below is what the Lord told me.
Q. Lord, what about this replacement theory rather than the self-improvement theory?
The Reasons That The Rapture Of The Church Must Happen Before The Great Tribulation By: Leo Cotilla | - Christian end times prophecy includes a time when believers will be removed from earth and meet Jesus in the clouds. In route they are transformed into their heavenly new bodies. All the believers who have died previously will be there as well. The Bible informs us that we will then forever be with the Lord.

Are You Still Sceptical About Angels,archangels And Ascended Masters? By: Glenn Harrison | - There is much debate about the spiritual world. Some people have extreme views that it exists, but are not sure of the extent of what there is. Some people are indifferent; know we are not alone and that 'something' created our universe. Then there are those who are extreme, in that they laugh at the thought; and taunt the people who believe in the spiritual world. And for them, it's simply a matter of non-experience and lack of proof.

The Universal Call Of Jesus By: Homero | - In Old Testament times before Jesus appears in the Bible, God had a chosen country. He loved these people and gave them the laws and regulations.

Bible Authority, Foot Washing, The Holy Kiss, And Head Coverings? By: Denny Smith | - Does Bible authority matter or is man free to do as he sees fit in the Christian religion? Most have come to the conclusion today that it does not matter. The result is that there are more unheard of things going on in Christian worship today than ever before.

Though the Ecclesiastes was written over 3,000 years ago, there were still some parts of it that were so completely relevant to our modern age. One of his observations in parti ...

Death And Life And The Bible By: Robin Calamaio | - Death first. Is death just a part of life? Is it simply an impersonal, random event with no hostile intent? All longevity models (evolution) think so. On the other hand, if death is imposed - that changes everything. What a massive understatement. Evolution and Biblical Creationism, are the two primary competitors in Western thought on origins. They are at great odds on this subject. Indeed, the two systems could not be more diametrically opposed. Here is a comparative review of these t ...

Battle Prayer To Break A Generational Curse Line By: Michael Bradley | - In the realm of spiritual warfare against demonic spirits - one of the ways that demons can enter into a person's life is through a generational curse line. A curse line can be formed out between a parent and a child if that parent has engaged and crossed over into any type of heavier transgression against the Lord.

Differences: The Old And New Testament By: C.F. Bettridge | - The Bible is a Book that has two main divisions in - the Old Testament and the New Testament.
