Poor Legalist 2008-05-25 10:28:30 Poor legalist. They are really in the numbers game. Let’s see how many converts we can make because if we don’t then people are going to go to hell. Well I do believe that people need Jesus for salvation but that is not all. From what I understand that is all they believe that they [...]
I think there is confusion. 2008-05-27 16:22:35 I think
there is confusion
on what the gospel of Jesus Christ is. Jesus saves us no doubt. This really is the point. Some think they only need to give a person one chance to receive the gospel of Jesus. How sad. They want to shove a track in someone’s [...]
Quote 2008-05-29 08:41:43 “I think that Christianity has two emphasis. One is a social emphasis to impart the values of the kingdom of God in society - to relieve the sufferings of the poor, to stand up for the oppressed, to be a voice for those who have no voice. The other emphasis is to bring people [...]

Quote #2 2008-06-02 14:27:24 “Only a fraction of our sins are personal. By far the greater part are sins of neglect, sins of default, our social sin, our systemic sin, our economic sin. For these sins Christ died, and continues to die. For these sins Christ atoned, and continues to atone…. As long as evangelism presents a gospel centered [...]

Mmmmm, thems good eatin! 2008-06-07 04:57:42 Astreja: Become like Jesus? Whatever for?
Dave: Because He is what we should be.
Astreja: Fig trees are quite lovely. No way I would curse one, let alone curse it because it didn’t give Me fruit out of season. It would seem that JesusGawd’s omniscience doesn’t extend to botany.
Dave: You might curse one when you know within [...]
Quote 3 A.W. Tozer 2008-06-10 10:58:36 “Many of us Christians have become extremely skillful in arranging our lives so as to admit the truth of Christianity without being embarrassed by its implications. We arrange things so that we can get on well enough without divine aid, while at the same time ostensibly seeking it. We boast in the Lord [...]

Braunschweig Tour 2008-06-11 14:54:49 Today my wife and I spent the day in Braunschweig
, Germany. An older German couple gave us a tour of some fascinating sights. We started on the out-skirts and work our way into the city as the day went on. It was interesting to visit a town that helped Hitler become a German citizen. While [...]

Women have worth! 2008-06-17 04:42:03 Sam Harris believes that the Bible gives women no worth. Ravi Zacharias says otherwise. This is very short video that contains more wisdom in 8 minutes than the Sam Harris video over at exchristian.net contains in 70 minutes. Sorry if I offended any Sam Harris fans but that’s not really the point right?

Why The Bible? 2008-06-16 09:25:14 What better way to begin the new purpose of this site than with a clip of Ravi and why we can place hope in the Bible.
New Beginnings 2008-06-16 04:38:17 This site has not really had a purpose since I created it some months ago. Well now it does have a purpose. The purpose is in the subtitle. Soon I will begin posting mainly about this purpose. I will still try to have a sermon of the week and posting quotes [...]

Quote 4 2008-06-19 17:03:16 “Ravi also reminds us, at the outset, that while even in the area of apologetics, ‘There is nothing new under the sun,’ (Ecclesiastes 1:9) and that ‘all that has happened before so often happens again,’ we must not forget that ‘the people to whom it is happening are new, and the answers, however old, must [...]

I am looking for people who need a place to write but are not really
interested in the administration side. I mentioned that I am looking

One apologists burden 2008-06-27 10:25:58 I found a really good post that might help Christians who find themselves in a debate with an Atheist. Go to The Christian Scribbler to read what he has to say. His post is indeed worth your time.

“Couldn’t God Have Used Evolution?” 2008-06-26 16:16:28 “The real issue is one of authority—is God’s Word the authority, or is man’s word the authority? So, couldn’t God have used evolution to create? The answer is No. A belief in millions of years of evolution not only contradicts the clear teaching of Genesis and the rest of Scripture but also impugns the character [...]

“Human Evolution–Faster than a Speeding Bullet” 2008-06-25 09:14:27 To see the whole story click on source quote at the end of the post.
“Harpending, one of the paper’s authors, states, ‘[genetic differences among humans] cannot be used to justify discrimination. Rights in the Constitution aren’t predicated on utter equality. People have rights and should have opportunities whatever their group.’ Agreed, but what is the [...]

“Atheism: An Irrational Worldview” 2008-06-24 07:30:41 Thank you to the 4 people who have commented on this post thus far. This is a quote from Dr. Jason Lisle. If the argument doesn’t make sense to the reader then I really suggest going to the link provided at the bottom of the post.

Quotes (6) 2008-06-23 17:00:42 “Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached [...]

My conversation with an AntiChristian 2008-06-22 16:36:37 This is my conversion with a man who calls himself the “AntiChristian.” It is painfully obvious that he is bitter toward the Christian community and really for good reason. Though it is not the fault of those who are true Christians. There are those today and throughout history who have done their [...]
Sozial Frei Evangelium? 2008-07-16 23:24:11 “‘Do good to all people,’ Paul writes (Gal 6:10). Does this mean that Christians should be concerned mainly with preaching the gospel? Or should they also be working for social improvement?
Protestant teaching has traditionally tended to stress gospel preaching. In this view the world will improve only as more people are transformed by accepting Christ. [...]
Apostle Paul or Televangelists Paul? 2008-07-16 12:00:16 AntiChristian had a good question that I thought should be answered in a post. His words are in green and mine are in black. I added the picture because I like to add pictures. The picture has nothing to do with AntiChristian. In fact I bet we both agree that the TV preachers can be [...]
