Healing, Helping, Administrations
The gift of healing included everything that would contribute toward increased human health and well-being as a result of the preaching and teaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the application of the Trinitarian perspective that produced modern science and technology. Indeed, increased health and healing of people under the influence of Christianity have resulted from faith in Jesus Christ. Modern medicine and the health industry must be included in the fruits of this gift.

Various Kinds of TonguesThe gift of tongues provided for the spread of the gospel to people who did not know Hebrew. This gift is alive and well today.
How Did First Communion Start?The idea of the communion started when Jesus Christ celebrated his last supper with the disciples. This is the time that Jesus Christ spoke about his death. He even shared some bread and wine to his disciples and asked them to do this in remembrance of him. Even until now, people do this not only to remember his sacrificial love for people but to even unite with him in spirit.
Are There Any Christian Nations Left?Following the recent spat concerning Sarah Palin’s view on whether America is still a Christian country, and Barack Obama’s words that American is not just a Christian country, it is worth pausing a second to review Christ’s own definition. Jesus’ commission to his disciples is stated at the end of Matthew: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Mat 28.19-20)
Church Reconciliation and the Sinner – A Lot More Dangerous Than Everyone Believed it WasThis review is related to the sinner and church reconciliation.

The Book of MelchizedekThe Book of Melchizedek Before Jesus, was Melchizedek his incarnation? (Hebrew 7) explaining this for Jewish Christians, the Levitical priesthood had been superseded; he is the priest of God in the Old Testament, thus, to typify Christ’s new position as High Priest. Melchizedek was king of Salem, Abraham’s Jerusalem (see Genesis 14).
Prophets, Teachers, Miracles, Science, TechnologyWhat we call science and technology today, Christians of the First Century would have called miracles. What we assume as commonplace today, would have been considered to be absolutely miraculous in any other period of human history. I’m talking about modern communications, transportation, media, agriculture, population increase, etc.
