The Gospel Produces A Lifestyle Of Christian Worship And Praise To God Even In Life Problems By: Roger Himes | - What is worship really? - specifically Christian worship? What does real praise to God mean? Can the gospel show us how to deal with stress? Can it show us how to deal with stress, sorrow, hurt, and even tragedy?

There are two ways to live the Christian life, especially when we experience life problems:
(1) in some form of laws, rules, principles and precepts, or
(2) in the gospel.

The New Testament gospel is actually The Impossible Dream. It allows us to believe in the impossible, because God says it. God cannot lie, so what he says must be true -- the gospel truth. In the Garden, Adam and Eve ate from The Tree of Life. This is a single-mindedness of total trust in God. It was not mixed with anything else.
3rd Gospel Dynamic: What Is Truth? Being Single-minded & Absorbed In The Gospel By: Roger Himes | - Jesus says, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." The Greek's meaning for 'pure in heart' is being single-minded: seeing things in a pure, all absorbing way-- not mixed with other opinions, theories, philosophies, etc. If you have a single mind, you are in a spiritual partnership agreement with God to enter into his world view. There are lots of world views in this world. But the gospel truth is what communicates God's worldview.
1st Christian Gospel Dynamic: Good Seed, And Good Roots Result In Good Fruit By: Roger Himes | - People want to know how to change your life. The Christian gospel is the process of God that leads to total life transformation.

As The Gospel Coach, I am a life coach who uses the New Testament Bible in coaching. The Bible is like a series of life coach classes that can totally turn your life around for the better.

Remember that you are merely God's agent, whom God has chosen to present the Gospel to the child. Your role is to do your best in communicating the Gospel clearly & simply to the child. It is the role of the Holy Spirit to convict the child & open the child's heart to accepting the Gospel.
We believe that telling children the good news about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is biblical. It is both our responsibility and privilege.
Here are some points to consider:
1.God commands us to preach the Gospel to all people in the world, and that includes children.
See Yourself As God Sees You: In The Revelation Of The New Testament Gospel By: Roger Himes | - The gospel gives us an idealized picture of who we are in God. So many things in the world tear us down, and make us feel less - even sometimes worthless. But Jesus talks about his unity and oneness with the Father - and our unity and oneness with both him and the Father. Paul talks about this a lot in Ephesians.
What Must A Man Believe To Be Saved By The Gospel Of Christ? By: Denny Smith | - That the gospel of Christ must be believed (as well as obeyed) in order to receive Christian salvation is made abundantly clear by the apostle Paul in one of the best known passages found in the Bible Rom. 1:16: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." (Rom. 1:16 NAS) It thus becomes essential that we learn what it is that man is to believe in order to be saved if we seek the salvation o ...

A Gospel Snapshot! Are You A Burger King Christian? Do You Attend Burger King Churchianity? By: Roger Himes | - I was recently in China. Wanting American food for a change, I went into a Burger King. Wow! It was just like home. It even looked the same, and had the same menu items. The place was packed, and as I waited, I saw a sign up I had never seen before: "All Burger King locations commit to four things: (1) Quality, (2) service, (3) value, and (4) cleanliness."
God said in my spirit, "This is just like most Christians involved in Churchianity."

The gospel of the New Testament is like the Constitution of the U.S. It governs us, protects us, and shows how God's Kingdom is meant to function in our lives.

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
Peter's Second Gospel Sermon By: Denny Smith | - Most people who know anything at all about the Christian faith realize that Peter preached the first gospel sermon ever preached on the Day of Pentecost as recorded in Acts 2. The second recorded sermon in the Christian dispensation of time is again a sermon preached by Peter as found in the next chapter in Acts, chapter 3.

Will The Real Gospel Please Stand Up? By: Aaron Taylor | - When I read the Book of Acts in the New Testament, I notice a stark contrast between the gospel that the Apostles preached and the gospel that is preached in many American churches today. America is a trendy nation. It seems that for every cultural trend there's a gospel to fit that trend. How does the church react to a materialistic society? No problem! It's called the "health and wealth" gospel. And the postmodern trend? No problem! There are gospels that emphasize "deconstruction" and "negati ...

Philip Preaching The Gospel In Samaria By: Denny Smith | - "But when they believed Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being baptized, men and women alike." (Acts 8:12 NAS)
What was the good news Philip preached? Was it the gospel? If it was not the gospel what was it? If it was not the gospel these people of whom it is said "they believed" walked away lost in their sins. Philip preached the gospel. I think we are all agreed on that.
Receiving The Gospel - Acts 2:41 By: Denny Smith | - "So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and there were added that day about three thousand souls." (Acts 2:41 NAS)
In my younger days I use to hear about those preachers on tv or radio who would tell their listening audience words to the effect that if they wanted to receive Jesus and salvation just to lay their hands on top the set, say certain words in the form of a prayer and presto - salvation. For all I know they may still be telling them that as I do not watc ... Tags:receiving the gospel, Acts 2, Peter, baptized, gospel sermon
Gospel Expense By: Phillip Ross | - Paul preached because he was compelled to preach. He didn't preach in order to receive a personal reward. He was called to preach, obligated to preach. He could do nothing else. It was his duty to invest his Master's talent, to increase Christ's holdings. Of course, he would be rewarded for his work, but he was not motivated by his own reward. Rather, he was motivated by the obligation of his stewardship of the gospel. He put aside his personal concerns and took the concerns of Christ to be his ...

Is The Gospel For The Poor? By: Duke Clarke | - Today I want to show you a misconception that I believe dominates the Christian Church and has distorted our view of the truth of prosperity. In the Gospel of Luke, Christ said,

Jesus talks a lot about overcoming in life. This side of the cross, we are told that we overcome by receiving from God. The New Testament talks a lot about receiving from God. The Old Testament was just the opposite. It was one of giving to God: obedience by keeping the law, and by repentance, and by sacrifice and offerings. But in the New Testament things changed. As Paul says all things became new (II Cor 5:17).
Because Jesus Is, I Am By: Roger and Eileen Himes | - Copyright 2006 Roger and Eileen Himes
The title of this article is taken from I John 4:17: As Jesus is, so are we in this world." Translated, this says, "Because Jesus is, I am." Remember the purpose of the gospel is to transform our thinking, as Romans 12:1-2 says. It is designed to change our thinking from earthly thinking to eternal thinking. It is to transform our thoughts from human thoughts to God's thoughts.
Theology contains mans ideas about God. It is born on a natural, human level. Religion is mans expression to God, based on his theology. Religion is also born on a natural, human level. There are so many theologies and religions today they are hard to count.

Lets begin with the obvious: Jesus is coming back! Acts 1:11 says so. None of us believes this world we know is all there is. BUT STOP! If our focus is on the future, and not the finished work of Jesus cross, we are living in unbelief! not in faith! Jesus says ALL prophecies were fulfilled in his cross in his finished work (Luke 24:44). John 19:30 quotes Jesus dying declaration: It is finished!
