"The Lord gets His best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction." - Charles Spurgeon.
"As the apostle says to Timothy, so also he says to every-one, 'Give yourself to reading.' ... He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own... You need to read. Renounce as much as you will all light literature, but study as much as possible sound theological works, especially ...

Ancient Egypt"€™s Magic By: Scott Turresterson | - From my reading and understanding, Egyptian theology actually paralleled Christian concepts which would later develop. Long before the heretic king, Akhenaton, who attempted to change Egypts polytheistic viewpoint to emphasis on the one god, that of the sun = the Aten, the region of Memphis broke through with a theology of its own. The Memphite Theology called upon the creative forces of nature much akin to the highly skilled artists/architects/artisans of ancient Egypt. Their chief god ...

Christ Loved The Church By: Ed Young | - So today, once again, I talk about this important matter. The marriage relationship is the most important earthly relationship we have.

A Different Method For Training Missionaries By: Mark Virkler | - When many people think about missionaries, they think about men and women from one place traveling to other parts of the world the spread the Gospel. With this method, the missionaries not only have to be trained in various theological studies and evangelical skills, but they also have to learn about the culture they are visiting, possibly having to learn a new language.
Our One God Thinks In Terms Of Oneness, Wellness And Wholeness: His Theology Is Liberation Theology By: Roger Himes | - "I am here... you are there... and God is 'up there somewhere'." This is how we think - in terms of separation. Our one God, considered a Trinity, does not. He thinks in terms of wholeness and oneness. His gospel is a liberation theology - some say a reformed theology. He sees us joined with each other, and with himself, if we are in Christ.

These conditions are either to hear Gods voice (in the King James Version) or to obey Gods laws (New International Version, New Living Translation, English Standard Version, and others). So, which is it, those w ... Tags:Christianity, Bible, Christians, Spirituality

Getting To Know The Different Gospels Will Lead To Understanding By: Michael C. Miller | - Since the Christian theologian Origen (c.185-254 CE) first surmised the chronological order of the four Canonical Gospels, biblical commentators have noted that Mark, Matthew, and Luke are strikingly similar to each other and yet differ markedly from John. Around the 18th Century these first three-Mark, Matthew, and Luke-became known as the Synoptic Gospels because they "saw" as with (syn) one eye (ops); they are similar enough to be read "synoptically," or in parallel columns. The Gospel of Joh ... Tags:gospels, bible, theology
Theology And The More Deeply Message Of The Gospels By: Michael C. Miller | - Often what is "common knowledge" among biblical scholars and what is "common knowledge" among ordinary Christians is not the same thing. Somewhere from the university to the Sunday school, the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) seem to be unconsciously combined to greater or lesser degrees into a kind of mish-mash or harmony to produce a single cohesive history. The Gospels are thus altogether portrayed, or at least received, not so much as theology but as a singular historical account ... Tags:theology, gospels, bible
About The Methodist Church By: Kelly Mcray | - About as mainstream and Main Street as a denomination can be in the United States today, the Methodist church, in its early days in England, was considered extreme and its leaders radical.
Riding the wave of a movement led by John Wesley, George Whitefield and others, the first Methodists started out merely to reform the Church of England. Between 1729 and 1735, this movement began with a group of students at Oxford and slowly spread outward.

So, Am I A Reductionist? By: Aaron Taylor | - A few weeks ago I wrote a post on my blog entitled "Will the Real Gospel Please Stand Up?" In the post I talked about how America, being a trendy nation, seems to have a gospel to fit just about every corresponding trend in society. For the materialist trend, we have the health and wealth gospel. For the postmodern trend, we have deconstruction and negative theology (I can kick myself for forgetting to add the patriotic gospel, but I'm happy to mention it now). Point being that with all the di ... Tags:Book of Acts, apostolic gospel, New Testament, negative theology, postmodern, health and wealth gospel
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 ...

Moody Press: True To Its Founders? By: Daniel LaLond Jr. | - "The Name You Can Trust" is the marketing slogan of Moody Press or Moody Publishers.

When we speak of religious beliefs we mean its theological tenets. Christianity and Islam share common ideas and beliefs having their roots in a common source--Judaism. This religion in turn derived many of its doctrines and beliefs from the Persians, Egyptians, Babylonians, Chaldeans, and the Sumerians. Perhaps it would be true to say that almost every religion is syncretic, though they may try very hard to cover this up.

Free Will And Sovereign Grace By: Babu Ranganathan | - How do we as Christians reconcile the freedom of man's will with God's sovereign and unmerited grace in salvation? 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.
