Covenants Israel was offered a covenant with God at Mt. Sinai; Exodus 19:7-8 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him. And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we...

If you are in contact with local Christians, you may be able to use newspaper evangelism (offering Bibles or correspondence). Also book fairs are opportunities to share the Bible. This is what AMG does. AMG may even be able to partner with you.

The Bible gives us an example of those who would justify themselves in Luke 18. They are described as blind, boastful, and having contempt for others. In such a case, I would seek other company.

If you read the Biblical definition of love (1 Cor. 13) you find that love is essentially selflessness. In this Jesus is the perfect example. Satan is the ruler of this present world (for now and insofar as he is allowed by God). Among his various schemes is the plan to collectivize the...

I have used TV as a teaching tool. Satan seeks to use TV to reach children and draw them into his world. It is a balancing act. When my oldest daughter was five she saw a Lawrence Welk show where a woman was banging vehemently on a piano wearing a gaudy feather boa. She turned to me and...

Right now almost all financial transactions in the modern world are credit card transactions. If the credit card number were put on your hand people might find that this stops identity theft, lost or stolen cards, or purchases from people who are not allowed to purchase. The technology for this...

1 Corinthians 1:12-1 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? In Galatians a list is given of the works of the flesh. One of the...

People who step into the spotlight often think that they will be an example or use their notoriety to spread the Gospel. What they often do not perceive is that an environment that focuses on and elevates "self" quenches the Spirit and cuts one off from the wisdom of God. Having a failed...

The subject of politics is an interesting one for a Christian. The subject is essentially the art of getting what you want. I was involved in politics many years ago. I thought that it was the obligation of a citizen. Like sewer work, I thought it was unpleasant but necessary. I came away from...

I would think that a Christian would leave any church when that church decided to act irresponsible financially (building or staying in a church that they could not afford) (my own personal view would extend to borrowing money at all). I attended a church where the pastor had a lust to build...

Carlos, I appreciate your courage in bringing up this subject. It is sad how often Christians are attacked by other Christians for speaking truth. It is especially sad to see how a "moderator" uses sarcasm to try to beat down opinions that are undesired. I also appreciate your response. We...

Christian - Look at what God can do. | Modernist - God does not matter look what I can do. | Collectivist - God does not matter look what we can do. | Progressivist - God does not matter look at what we are going to do. | Liberal - God does not matter look at what...

Behold, I, Paul, am saying to you that if you persist in being circumcised, Christ will be advantageous to you in not even one thing, and I solemnly affirm again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to do the whole law. You are without effect from Christ, such of...

Does not work. Christopher Lasch (a famous liberal who became a conservative) said that a conservative will say you are wrong and walk away. A liberal will say you are wrong and need to be fixed. The world considers itself very flexible. If you say I agree, you are welcomed. Even if you...

Here is another perspective to consider; http://christianpioneer.com/lib/suffer/suffer.htm

On the basis of what?

This is an interesting question because it entails an assessment of legal theory. In our legal system people are prosecuted for crimes they committed that may have had a demonic component all the time. Consider a man who is angry at his wife, under the influence of alcohol, and at the moment he...

Much has been written on this subject by Kurt Koch. Our society today is much different than the one that Jesus lived in. Our society has a legacy of Christianity. While it is mostly gone now, there are still some inertial aspects that carry on. One of these is a low level of occult practice...

These are questions that everyone who thinks and feels confronts as they consider Christianity. The first thing to do when considering Christianity is to strip away what is false. The second thing is to identify various teachings as being either true or consistent with a particular franchise...

Both David and Moses were murderers. I think that God sometimes allows us to walk in our own strength so that we can truly learn just how much we need Him. Your experiences are typical for any of us who have tried to live life apart from God. We can do things that have irreparable...
