Bible Lessons For Youth: Thirst? By: KenSapp | -
At times in Christ's life, we see both His humanity and His divinity. When Jesus said that He was thirsty...we see His humanity.
The Son of God the divine Creator of the rivers and oceans of water said, "I thirst." The Son of God who makes the rain to fall from the sky and the fountains to burst forth from the depths of the earth said, "I thirst." The one who said, "I am the water of life and anyone who comes to me and drinks, out of his innermost being will flow rivers of living wa ...

Jesus entered our world through a door marked "No Entrance" and left through a door marked "No Exit."
And for all who feel it is impossible to overcome the situations facing them -sickness, death, divorce, persecution, loneliness, despair, addictions- Jesus stands at the human door marked "No Way" and knocks.
Archangel Metatron Explains Bible Myths And Our Relation To God, Light, The One Conscious Energy By: Glenn Harrison | - I am blessed with being able to have conversations with Archangels and Ascended Masters, courtesy of my wife, Jill, who is an Avatara (Male is Avatar); a person chosen by the Godhead, to receive and deliver messages for the benefit of mankind. The Angelic Realm use telepathy to contact and communicate with people, and if the medium is powerful enough, they can speak through them.
On this occasion, we were talking to Archangel Metatron and this is what I penned:-
Young Christians Challenged By: TrevorES Smith | - As a young Christian you face many challenges arising from your decision to devote your life to Christ. Even as you bask in the fact of God's protection and providence, you may be experiencing some doubts and areas where you need more information.
Here are five questions that every young Christian must think about and helpful advice about how to deal with them.
Peter's Preaching And The Apostle's Preaching By: Denny Smith | - It is not uncommon to hear people express doubts about the harmony of the preaching and teaching found in the New Testament often doing so by making the claim that the various writers of the New Testament differed in what they taught. Often those who make such claims will pit Paul against James or Peter against Paul.
The truth is the scriptures do not belong to Paul, or James, or Peter, or to any other writer even if their name happens to be attached to a letter. "All scripture is ... Tags:Peter's preaching, apostle's preaching, gospel, preaching
Cause & Effect And Grace By: Derek Rydall | - Traditional religion teaches us that we are at the whim of some external God that rewards or punishes us for good and bad deeds, like Santas naughty or nice list or just acts in capricious, mysterious ways beyond our control. On the contrary, a spiritual understanding of the Christian teaching as you sow so shall you reap, the Buddhist teaching of karma, or the metaphysical law of attraction all suggest that there is no external power; it is the seeds we sow in our own h ...

Is Christianity Stressful? By: D Chosen 1 | -
Christianity is not a religion. It is a lifestyle which depicts the way Jesus Christ lived on Earth and hence the name "Christ-ian" meaning like Christ or Christ- like. Jesus Christ lived a perfect life without stain or spots and a perfect example to all Human kind to follow. But we, Humans are born sinners, we are not perfect and from time to time we fall into sin. How then can we live a Christ- like Life? Is it possible to live a blameless Life without spot or stain? Is the whole Christ ...

The Parable Of The Talents "€" The Sin Of Fear By: Denny Smith | - The parable of the talents is found in Matthew 25:14-30 with an account that is similar in many respects in Luke 19:12-28 although there are differences. Only the account given in Matthew is referred to, by men, as the parable of the talents but it is profitable to read Luke along with Matthew. Differences aside both accounts seem to be teaching about the same lesson and one I have needed throughout my life.
Parable Of The Tares "€" No Middle Ground By: Denny Smith | - The story of the parable of the tares is found in Matt. 13:24-30 and then explained by Jesus in verses 36-43. I quote the parable as follows:
"Another parable he put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, 'Sir ...

Greed Is Not Good A Plague By: James Murray | - Greed is not good and it is a plague that can be found in almost any culture or society on this earth, but can it be cured?
In the movie Wall Street there is a quote about Greed. "Greed, for lack of a better word is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge; it has marked the upward surge of mankind."
The Pleasures Of Sin By: Denny Smith | - Is there pleasure in sin? The Bible teaches that sometimes there is that is for a time. You are probably familiar with the passage in the Bible found in Heb. 11:24-25 that speaks of the pleasures of sin for a season (KJV) or the passing pleasures of sin as the New King James puts it. By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaohs daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of s ...

When Did Obedience Become Legalism? By: Denny Smith | - We seem to be living in a time in the present Christian era where people seem to feel that all that matters in Christianity is love and Gods grace, that obedience is simply legalism, and that people do not have to obey Bible commands for salvation (except, of course, for the command to believe in Jesus as the Savior).
Grace is made cheap. Live as you like, call yourself a Christian, and Gods grace will cover you. It is said it is what is in the heart (generally defined as th ... Tags:obedience, legalism, God, grace, love, iniquity, commandment
The Prodigal Son "€" When He Came To Himself By: Denny Smith | - The story of the prodigal son as told by Jesus in Luke 15:11-32 is too long to quote here but also so well known that almost everyone acquainted with the Bible at all knows the story and the main thrust of the lesson taught there. However, there is one phrase in the account we do not talk enough about - the phrase when he came to himself found in verse 17.
King Saul "€" As Long As It Glorifies God By: Denny Smith | - Paul said, For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. (Rom. 15:4 NKJV) The NIV translates the first part of that verse as follows, For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us.
Paul had reference primarily to the writings found in the Old Testament when he made that statement. As we read the Old Testament we need to be thinking what is the less ... Tags:King Saul, glory to God, Samuel, rebellion against God, Saul
Is Church Attendance Essential For Christian Salvation? By: Denny Smith | - Whether or not a Christian must attend church to be saved is a question of utmost importance. There is nothing more important than ones eternal salvation. Where will one spend eternity? Will it be in a place of happiness and joy where there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more pain (Rev. 21:4 NKJV) or will it be in the place of torment where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched (Mark 9:44 NKJV) and shall never be qu ...

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. You name it and it is being done somewhere. Every type of special service the mind can imagine (and many that you cannot) is being held. The idea is that anything we do in worship with the intent of being pleasing to God, to glorify G ... Tags:Bible authority, foot washing, holy kiss, head coverings
Does God Really Care? By: Denny Smith | - Over the course of time just about all of us are confronted with the reality of suffering and abuse not just on newscasts but in our own personal world where we live day by day. Why are small precious children abused? Why do many of them not have a chance from the get go? Why do old people often get in such horrible conditions as you find them in almost without exception in substantial numbers in nursing homes? Why are people born with physical or mental disabilities, deformities of body or ... Tags:God, eye, sparrow, care, suffered, chastening, Lord, suffer
CHARLES SPURGEON QUOTES ON CALVINISM, THE COVENANTERS, CHRIST AS CONQUERING KING, CHRISTMAS, AND MUCH MORE!
CHARLES SPURGEON QUOTE ON THE SCOTTISH COVENANTERS
Better that Scotland were hacked by Claverhouse for cleaving to the Lord, than that she should be flattered by infidels for her gradual departure from the faith. Let not the blood of the Covenanters be spilt in vain... I am glad you are writing on Scots Worthies. Oh, th ... Tags:Charles Spurgeon, C. H.

The Grace Of God And The Parable Of The Laborers "€" Is God Just? By: Denny Smith | - Everyone is pleased to have the grace of God in their life but are we disturbed by it when his grace shows up in the lives of others seemingly more generously than in our own? I am afraid that is sometimes the case. The parable of the laborers found in Matt. 20:1-16 is a perfect example and is also an excellent illustration of how man feels he knows more about what is just and right than God does.
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. There are ... Tags:lessons for the church, Isaiah, God, worship, sin, church
The Great Commission And Cornelius By: Denny Smith | - A great many people believe, it seems, that Cornelius was saved the moment the Holy Spirit fell on him to which I disagree. It seems to be a topic of interest so I have decided to write on the subject from a different vantage point than is usual.
This is really, at its core, a discussion of whether or not water baptism is for the remission of sins as stated in Acts 2:38. Since that is the basis of opposition every related subject such as conversion, the new birth, and baptism ente ... Tags:Great Commission, Cornelius, conversion, new birth, Spirit
What Is Baptism (the Sprinkling Hoax) By: Denny Smith | - It may well be that there is no Bible subject that has caused more confusion among men than the subject of baptism. What is baptism? What is its purpose? Who should be baptized? Why? I would like to take a look at these questions and deal with all of them over time but for the present in this article I will confine myself to the question what is baptism?
What is baptism? I doubt that very many people know what I am about to say. We all assume that the words found in our New T ... Tags:baptism, sprinkling, immersion, baptized, buried, burial
The Old Testament contains over 300 prophecies of the birth, ministry, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus the Messiah. ("Messiah" is synonymous with "Christ" and is derived from the Hebrew word "Mashiyach.")
The Cleansing Of The Church At Ephesus (the Washing Of Water) By: Denny Smith | - Many believe the church at Ephesus (the church being the membership) was cleansed from sin by faith based on the teachings of their denomination and the famous Ephesian passage found in chapter 2 verses 8 and 9, For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. (NAS) Many, many passages of the New Testament teach that salvation is a matter of Gods grace (Acts 15:11, Rom. 3:24, Gal. 2:21 ... Tags:faith, Christ, baptism, grace, cleansed, spirit, church, sin
How Was Noah Saved Through Water? By: Denny Smith | - How was Noah and his family saved through water? Peter, in 1 Peter 3:20-21, says they were but just how is a little hard to understand without some thought and study. The passage reads as follows: when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. There is also an antitype which now saves us, namely baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good consc ...

"Jesus said 'Do you see these great buildings?' Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.'" (Mark 3:2)
It is such an offensive thing to say!
Oh, I know that nothing in permanent in this life and that the greatest of our human institutions and heroic achievements will eventually pass and go the way of all flesh, but I really didn't want to be confronted with that just now!.
Ecclesiastes Study -- The Fading Beauty Of Life By: Ben Mester | - In the past, I used to love to study the book Ecclesiastes in the Bible. It was like I was drawn to it, mystified by its dark view of life, combined with the beautiful poetry peppered throughout the book. I loved reading the ancient notions on death, wisdom, pleasure, meaning, foolishness, life, and especially beauty. 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 ...

The Truth So Called Christians Will Not Accept By: Denny Smith | - Most people who call themselves Christians are in reality not Christians at all no matter how dedicated they may be to their faith. The word of God is truth (Jesus speaking, John 17:17) and stands as the one and only standard that is acceptable to the God of heaven and of men. It, not man, sets the standard for who is a Christian.
As there is a political correctness in our land there is likewise a religious correctness that one must adhere to unless he is willing to be branded a h ... Tags:truth, Christians, Christ, baptism, faith, repentance
Healing For The Brokenhearted By: Denny Smith | - "Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick. And I looked for sympathy, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none." (Psalms 69:20 NASU) Read in context one sees clearly that this passage of scripture refers to Jesus toward the very end of his life on earth when facing the cross and perhaps, very possibly, on the cross itself. The heart has been broken to the point of sickness.
Words Have Consequences - Even When Posed As A Prayer By: Leah L Burton | - Last week my friend Mikey Weinstein filed a law suit in Dallas, Texas naming both he and his wife as plaintiffs in a land mark case against religious extremism. I am honored to have been asked by Mikey to do what I can to help in his efforts to shed light on the practice of imprecatory prayer and the dangers that lie within them. I have tremendous respect for what he is doing...and total disdain for the 'c'hristians who are praying for harm to come to him and his family, in all manner of violenc ...

Free And Proven Marriage Counsel: Love And God By: marciano guerrero | - When Mary Patricia and I were graduate students -and married-we went to a party given by another married couple and for married couples; although a few single students drifted in. And like in most college-students parties way after midnight (curled up on sofas, or forming a circle on the floor, legs crossed) we discussed the hot topics of the day.
Death Of Stephen J. Gould By: William Nugent | - With sadness I must report the recent death of Dr. Stephen Jay Gould, 61, Harvard professor and prolific author. Dr. Gould was a down to earth, affable man who wrote many books on the subject of evolution.
He attempted to bring evolution to the masses in simplistic terms. His work is reminiscent of that of Thomas Huxley (1825-1895). Huxley was called Darwin's bulldog for his aggressive spreading of the Darwinian faith.
Fetus: I Hope He Changes His Mind By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - The question is rhetorical. Obviously liberally minded Americans think Obamas policies are all just peachy keen and conservative Americans are trying to hold back the urge to regurgitate. Pragmatically speaking, if we could suspend the question of right and wrong, is the unborn child any safer? Liberal or conservative, there is no choice here; the answer is an unequivocal no.

The Inauguration Of Barack Obama - A/k/a Barry Soetoro By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - Twenty two percent of the United States voted for Obama in the general election. John McCain drew a little under Obamas tally so that means that 78 percent of the nation either voted for McCain or did not vote at all. With all the hype about the Obama inauguration it seems safe to say not everyone is perfectly thrilled with the choice the 22 percent has made. Lets see.
Bible Contradictions - True Or False? By: Denny Smith | - If we believe the Bible is the word of God why do we often interpret it in a way that makes it contradict itself? Truth is harmonious or else it's not truth and cannot be. Jesus says of God's word, "your word is truth." (John 17:17) It does not oppose itself when properly interpreted.

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 ...

When The God Of Empiricism Fails - Science Blocks Its Ears By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - Secularisms academicians are now saying the best way to null the message is to ignore both it and the messengers. Does anyone remember why we call them universities?
The key word in the latest guidance offered to today's students is ignore. Is it blatant, brazen or both to call for the use of ignorance to gain or retain knowledge? It is no secret that every deadly ideology of the past had to ignore the truth about a lot of things including itself for its survival and p ...

In A.D. 26, a prophet named John, who we know as John the Baptist, began preaching in the Desert of Judah, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near." (Matthew 3:1-2) Quoting the words of Isaiah he said: "A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.' " (Matthew 3:3)
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)
Blogging Christians And Internet Evangelism - Experts Say It Is Top Means Of Witnessing By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - Jason Lee Miller an editor and skillful writer for WebProNews said, In the past two years, blogging, as a profession, has grown from geeky obscurity into a direct challenge to the journalism industry, even with bloggers' reputation for being unruly, unvetted, grammatically and syntactically insufficient, and above all, a disorganized mess.
Kantian Ethics: "good Vs. Evil" By: Don Alexander | - Kantian ethics, or "It's Your Duty," as Wilkens states, is centered on one's duty for the good of the cause and utilizing reason as a means to an end. I liked the example of the courtroom in Wilkens text, where he talks about a juror who has to make the choice to vote "not-guilty" in a trial, because there is not enough evidence to support the verdict. Kantian ethics supports looking at "the best choice" instead of one's own choice or personal opinion as the highest tally mark.
Hitchens Is Not Great: The Poison Of Pride By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - Even a better than middling mind is bound to find a reason to be bored with Hitchens book God is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. Impeccable English and brilliant elucidation does little to keep the mind from wandering repeatedly to Matthew 6:23b If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
During the later part of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, a number of church congregations decided that creeds, regardless of whoever wrote them and whatever form they take, are divisive and not in accord with the teachings of the New Testament. They sought to end their denominational ties and become mere Christians with no separating labels.
Darwin Applauds Christianity By: Gary Kurz | - There have been many scholarly and unimpeachable arguments written in opposition to the theory of evolution. Still, people will believe what they want to believe. Evolution theory has been pounded into the heads of children for many decades and it is very difficult to dislodge wrong thinking when so many teach that it is right.
In spite of this theory being promoted in almost every major theme of study (i.e. mathematics, social studies, history, psychology, etc.), the adoption o ... Tags:creation, evolution, example, faith, missions
Reformation Of The Church By: Jerry Richard Boone | - Over time, the apostate church slowly drifted further and further from the scriptures in organization, in doctrine, and in worship practices. Along with its doctrinal corruption came moral corruption as well. Certainly not everyone condoned these practices. Within the church itself arose courageous reformers who sought to bring the church back into conformity with the scriptures. Among the first of these reformers was John Wycliffe.
Look What They've Done To My Church By: Jerry Richard Boone | - Whatever happened to that early church -- the one that Jesus founded and Paul helped promulgate throughout the known world of the first century? It changed. Slowly and surely, it changed.
Warnings of Departure from the Faith
Yes, they warned us. Both Peter and Paul said it would happen. And it did.
Sins Against People By: Jerry Richard Boone | - What difference does it make whether we keep the Golden Rule? The difference between heaven and hell, says Jesus. Should we ignore his advice? or listen to what he has to say?
"An expert in the law tested him with this question: 'Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?'
