  • If Baptism Is Not Essential
    By: Denny Smith | - Baptism is not essential to salvation according to most denominations. The thought came to me recently if baptism is not essential for salvation what then? What are the necessary implications of such a doctrine?

    (1) If baptism is not essential for salvation then Jesus taught error when he said, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God (John 3:5 NKJV) for you can enter the kingdom of God without water if baptism is not essential for sa ...

  • Biblical Misinterpretations That Need To Be Corrected
    By: Norma Hickox | - New spiritual teachings are needed and necessary at the present time, as the Bible story cannot be taken literally anymore. People are far too intelligent; but there needs to be the true teachings to replace these tales. One of the true teachings is, of course, the truth of reincarnation as the basis or foundation for all.

    It is time for humanity to understand this and many more facts that they were not evolved enough previously to understand. Also the concept of the God Within m ...

  • Canaan And Heaven "€" How God Gives
    By: Denny Smith | - How God gives to men is not only an interesting study but also one of upmost importance as it relates to our salvation, a salvation which is clearly set forth in the scriptures as being a free gift of God to man. Being justified freely by is grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. (Rom. 3:24 NKJV) It is by grace through faith that we are saved and not by works. (Eph. 2:8-9) Salvation is specifically said to be the gift of God. (Eph. 2:8 NKJV)

  • Top Three Most Fun Films Of 2009
    By: Jenna Anderson | - 2009 has not exactly been the best year at the box office. Many of the films that have come out during the summer season either fell flat or completely divided audiences who could not decide here or there on what was hit or miss. However, here are three films that I personally considered to be the most fun films of 2009 so far, and should definitely be checked out by movie buffs and regular movie buffs alike.

    The first movie I had real fun watching was Star Trek, the reboot of the ...

  • Making Space In Your Home By Getting Rid Of Junk
    By: Garnet Valentine | - Face it: people can be major pack rats. Don't believe me? Just peek into your neighbors' garages the next time you're out for an after-dinner walk. Chances are, more than half of the garages that you get to peek into are filled with various belongings. You might see an extra couch or two. Or you might see more than one lawn mower. Perhaps you might even come across a very untidy garage that is filled to the brim with... junk. Just junk.

    It's a purely psychological thing: people li ...

  • Having Too Much Junk In Your Trunk
    By: Garnet Valentine | - When is having too many toys too many? Most Americans use their house's garage as storage rather than storing their car or cars in them. This is because they have too many toys that it takes up most of their garage space and the car ends up outside without shelter to endure the weather. At this point we need to consider a garage sale, donating, and or selling online some of the junk that is more than likely not being used or will never be used again.

    We are all a little guilty of ...

    By: Madeline Oscar | - Terminator Salvation: The Game, based on the movie of the same name is a third-person shooting game that technically sounds and relies entirely on the presumption that the players will be so interested to be playing as characters from the movie.

  • 5 Claims Of Jesus You Should Consider
    By: Jeanine M | - The decisions we make in life sometimes have lasting consequences. One of those lasting choices has to do with what you believe about Jesus Christ.

    Who do you say Jesus is? This is a question that has eternal significance. What you do with Jesus will determine your eternal destiny.

    And what is the decision regarding Jesus? We choose to believe in Him or we choose to walk away from Him. He stands with open arms, waiting for us to put our faith in Him. If we ...

  • Book Review: The Shack
    By: Johnny Kicklighter | - An associate at work insisted I read "The Shack." He wouldn't give me many details of the book but did say it revealed God's grace in personal tragedy. After a few false starts, I was able to finally start the book.

    Not being a great fan of Christian novels, I was immediately disappointed but endeavored to continue reading. I confessed I was entertained by Young's prose in that he gave so much detail in visualizations of descriptions. I did become distracted as I begin to analy ...

  • Terminator Salvation Movie Review
    By: maxxborshoff | - Terminator Salvation' the fourth film in the Terminator series has turned out to be the worst among all. This action franchise was launched in 1984 as low budget sci-fi movie by director James Cameron and star Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold made the character of Terminator immortal in audiences' minds. So the question with this Terminator was how would the new Director McG pull off the fourth film without the man known as The Terminator now that he's morphed into The Governor.

  • Two Spirits
    By: Phillip Ross | - Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 3:12 that there are two spirits active in the lives of people -- the "spirit of the world" and the "spirit who is from God." The spirit of the world could also be called the natural spirit in that it does not recognize or honor God, while the spirit who is from God does. Understanding the difference between these two spirits hinges on our yielding to the reality of God and denying the temptations and deceptions of the world.

    Webster defines spirit as ...

  • Can You See The Face Of God?
    By: William Bell | - God is a Spirit. No one has seen God at any time. How then does the Bible speak of seeing God's face? The face of God is his spiritual presence and approval. It is the privilege and blessing of forgiven man.

    Sin Turns Away God's Face

    Sin, turns away the face of God from us. "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you." (Isa. 59:2). These words, spoken to Israel, demonstrate that not only does sin hide from us th ...

  • Becoming Born Again: What Exactly Is The Process?
    By: Everest John Alexander | - There are three distinctly different levels of salvation of which becoming 'Born Again' is the first!

    Becoming born again means you have your spirit regenerated or recreated by the power of Almighty God. It means having your very nature changed from mere human to incorporate the divine!

    The following verses from the Bible help substantiate the concept of men sharing in God's divinity.

  • A Tale Of 3 Gardens
    By: Everest John Alexander | - "Uhhmmm... That looks gooood," she thinks, as she stands in the midst of the Garden.

    She stares at it longingly with a glazed look in her eye. Her pulse races as she reaches up a trembling hand and touches it. Eyes darting from side to side - She's unobserved.

    Her heart is hammering now as she pulls on it until it separates from the branch.

    She's done it!

    Mouth watering as she looks at it and just for the most flickering of moments ther ...

  • Christian Salvation: Understanding The 7 Basic Attributes
    By: Everest John Alexander | - The intimate fellowship Christians can enjoy with God is only possible because of some very specific principles that are activated every time a person confesses faith in Jesus Christ.

    These principles are called the attributes of salvation and they are:

    1) Redemption - This is the literal re-purchase of a human soul from the devil, so that, instead of being under the dominion of Satan we're now under the dominion of God, paid for with the very blood of Jesus.

  • Online Resources For Living For And Through Jesus
    By: Chris Robertson | - In today's busy - and primarily technological - society, you probably realize that living for and through Jesus now takes on a whole new meaning. Millions of people around the world spend the majority of their time online, which means there's less time to read (printed materials, that is), attend social gatherings such as church meetings and Bible classes, spend time with family, etc. But thankfully, there are many reliable online Christian resources to help you further your walk with Christ eve ...

    By: Everest John Alexander | - "How could she act like that and still call herself a Christian?"

    "Is he still saved, I heard he left his wife for another woman?"

    You've probably heard these questions asked and maybe asked similar questions yourself at some time. It's true that people often act in ways that make you question their salvation.

    And what about you?

    By: Rachel Yoshida | - Since we were little children, if we were brought up in a Christian home, we have heard about Noah, his family, the animals, and of course, the great ark that he and his sons built from gopher wood. It is said that the measurements were sent to him directly from God. It took Noah and his sons many years to complete the building of the ark and to gather the animals and supplies that they needed to survive the great flood that God told Noah was coming.

    The story goes that as Noah an ...

In this way Moody Press suggests to believers that they are a Christian publishing house that is true to scripture and to the gospel of Christ. Multiplied thousands around the globe, however, who trust their eternal souls to the teaching published by "The Name You Can Trust" might be stunned to find out that Moody Press should not be trusted.

  • Lullaby To Eternal Hell?
    By: Brian F Connors | - One fact that must be accepted by all is that our presence on this earth will come to an end. Various theories have been put forth regarding what awaits us after our journey through life has been completed. Many have been assuaged by noted authors or from the pulpit that all will be well for us in the next world if we simply obey tradition or follow the road that makes us feel good inside. Unfortunately, this mindset may lead to an eternally fatal mistake.

    Manners were taught by my parents, my primary education came from the government schools, experience, and lectures from Mom and Dad. My higher education came from books I chose to read and persons I chose to study, and teachers I chose to submit to. My faith came from God, through His ...

    By: Jon Straumfjord | - The Lord wants to richly bless each and every person, and yet no one deserves those blessings, nor can they possibly hope to earn those blessings since the Lord requires absolute perfect obedience in thought and action, which appears to be absolutely impossible. So does this dichotomy make God a liar? Not at all! Yes, the Lord has set an impossible standard, but He has met that standard for us:

    But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, ... even the righteous ...

  • Why Do We Need A Savior?
    By: ihowards | - In creation, God made man in his own image and gave him dominion over the earth realm, having a kingdom as he himself had a kingdom called Heaven. He formed the figure of man from the dust of the Earth and breathed his own life into him. Thus he made a friend that he could relate to, talk and walk with. However, the man turned his kingdom over to the enemy, called Satan or Lucifer. Satan was the enemy of God, having rebelled against God's authority, and desired to destroy God's Creation. So God ...

  • The Central Message Of The Bible
    By: Robin Calamaio | - Introduction
    Every book has a main point. Even poems and articles have a main theme. There is always, "the moral to the story," right? Well, the Bible has a main point too. The Bible addresses many subjects that are of great importance. But there is one subject that overshadows all others - our relationship and standing before God. There are four parts to this message. Each will be explored in order. The first part is the bad news or man's condition before God. The seco ...

  • Once Saved Always Saved?
    By: Candace Marra | - I would be hard-pressed to find a more contentious issue in the church. Those who believe once-saved-always-saved believe it so strongly that they see it as a necessary belief in order to truly enjoy your salvation.

    Those who don't believe it see it as a dangerous teaching that provides a false sense of security. This author holds to the latter view.

    First, it is important to realize that saying a prayer is not what gets us saved. Chances are, by now, you've said t ...

  • Can I Be Sure I'm Saved?
    By: Candace Marra | - Unequivocally yes! If you are unsure about your salvation, there are a couple of possible explanations:

    1. You aren't saved.

    2. You are saved, but not walking in the victory God has given you.

    3. You are saved, but the devil is messing with your mind.

    4. You're backslidden.

    Let's address these issues one by one.

  • Homesick For Heaven
    By: Gary Kurz | - One of the most common concerns in Christians new to the faith is assurance. New converts spend a lot of time working out their own salvation in their minds. Too often they convince themselves that they are not born again after all, because they don't 'feel" like they are.

    As they work through their doubts, they fear that the Lord might return before they have ensured that they are right with him. Essentially they fear he may come back too soon. This is human nature. I think ...

    "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Matt 5:48)

    The Nazarene Master uttered the above verse to the masses, who for centuries have overlooked the significance and importance of the mandate. Even the priesthood do not seem to stress this commandment, teaching instead the erroneous concept of the original sinful nature of man, and his redemption by an external saviour. Supposedly we were born in sin, live in sin, and ...

    By: Dr. Jay Snell | - Some in the church in Galatia were peddling a doctrine of salvation by works. Paul asks and answers three bombshell questions of those Galatians who were trying to peddle this doctrine. These three questions and their answers stopped their salvation by works message in its tracks.

    You remember, of course, that Paul believed that Jesus' blood took care of the sin problem for the human race.

Many Christians will give God all the credit and glory for the payment of their sins at Calvary but when it comes to believing in Christ they give themselves either all or some of the credit and glory. This issue, therefore, needs serious Biblical examining.

    The will is only as free as its nature. For example, God has free will but He cannot choose to do evil since i ...
