I Really Believe the Bible is the Written Word of God
I’m only writing this article, the title of this article does not support anything that I stand for. If you’re a Christian and you truly believe that the Bible is the written word of God, I would like to ask you a couple of questions.
Getting a Straight Answer From ChristiansGetting a straight answer from Christians and other religious followers can be difficult if not daunting. I have been asking Christians simple questions for years, only to find them irritated and disgusted at me.
I Have an Addiction – Television!Even though I only seem to get to watch TV in the “very late night” hours, I’m still addicted to it! Reality show, COPS, Extreme Home Makeover, documentaries, ball games – it’s something that I truly enjoy. Now, there’s nothing inherently wrong with the act of watching TV, but we’ve got to be careful about what we watch; content must be examined through the template of biblical discretion.
Morality Depends on the Situation?A friend of mine states that his life is guided by ‘situational ethics’. What is that? Let’s answer this question with a basic understanding of where our ‘morality’ comes from. There’s three basic viewpoints; 1)absolutism, 2)Nihilism, and 3)relativism.
What’s Love Got to Do With It?Learn to ENJOY VICTORY over your enemies . . . God can use them to develop you and thrust you into new areas of usefulness and productivity. Joseph, Daniel, and Mordecai are all prime examples of how God can use your enemies to advance you, and to bring both DELIVERANCE and ENLARGEMENT for you and others.
Is it Low Self-Esteem?In this “me” generation of today, narcissism (self-absorption) is one of the fastest growing psychological problems facing young people, and our existing educational system seems to be catering to the “me, myself, and I” philosophy. Well-meaning parents are raising their children in a “false bubble”, in which they foster and sustain a superficial “the world revolves around you” mentality for their kids.
Christ’s Resurrected Body – What Was It?Jesus still possesses His physical body, but now it is in glorified form (not flesh and blood, but different), dwelling in heaven (Acts 13:34; Colossians 2:9; I Peter3:21-22). Denominations would have us believe that when Jesus rose from the dead, He came back as a spirit, no longer having a physical, tangible body. To hold to this view, however, is to deny the testimony of Scripture, and to bypass the entire purpose of the resurrection.
I’ve Got to Get it Fixed!A foundational principle of our Christian faith is the way of reconciliation. Jesus taught, Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift (Mt. 5:23-24, KJV).
Flesh Season – What Am I to Do?If I follow Christ, is it okay for me to go to a public water park, public beach, or a public pool (the key here is ‘public’)? In this day and time, public sun-bathing, public swimming areas, and immodest or inappropriate clothing, seem conjoined.
Saint Therese of Lisieux – Her Final Days on EarthSaint Therese of Lisieux the little flower of Jesus, became known as the Saint of the little way to Jesus. The account of her last days and the sufferings she endured bear witness to why we call her the Saint of the little way.
The Sacrament of Penance Or ConfessionA confession is seen as an admission of one’s guilt and is practiced between the confessor and a priest. It is done to bring absolution and peace of mind to the sinner. It is a way of being cleansed, so that the sinner does not have to be overburdened by their guilt.
Draconian Wicca – What is it?There are many ways in which dragons emerge from the realm of the occult. We see dragon symbolism both literally in paintings and figurines and figuratively in legend and lore. Dragons have been making history since the beginning of time, no matter which religion or theory you subscribe to.
