| Article Title :: Circumcised or Uncircumcised? |
| |
| When the Bible speak of circumcision, what does it really mean? Some say it’s the cutting of one’s private part of the body, some say it’s the matter of the heart. We must first understand that there are two very important facts surrounding this subject. One is that in the Old Testament men were under the law, and now in the New Testament men are under the Grace of God. Lets see what the Bible say about being circumcised. Let’s start with the book of Genesis 17:9 it says Then God said to Abraham, As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your
descendants after you for the generations to come. This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are (read full article) |

| Article Title :: God is in Full Control |
| |
| For many students of the Bible who are sincerely struggling to establish some type of clear and relatively stable theological perspective, the concept of God as sovereign God is a very important doctrine that demands serious study. It is not sufficient to simply acknowledge that God is all-knowing, all powerful and omnipresent, but we must have some understanding of the nature and essence of God at a deeper level so that the significance of His sovereignty is known in a meaningful way.From a very early age, I had always been taught that “God can do anything but fail.” I was told that God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, loving, just and so on; that nothing happens in lif (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Reflections on the Incarnate Christ |
| |
| Most people would agree that the New Testament makes two astounding claims about Jesus. To some, the claims cancel each other out. To others, they appear utterly absurd. But, seemingly, to the vast majority of Christians down through the ages, it has seemed necessary to insist upon both affirmations.Personally, I believe that Jesus Christ is both God and Man; human and divine. He shows us who God is and He shows us what we ought to be. In Biblical terminology, “in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily” (Col. 2:9, RSV), and yet he is one who “in every respect has been tempted as we are” (Heb. 4:15, RSV).I think we encounter a lot of difficulty when we attempt (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Christianity: Our System of Choice |
| |
| Everyone holds a world and life view which is predicated on some presuppositions underlying his system of thought. Of course, the question is where will the logical conclusion of the system take us? This is a critical question because a sound, consistent system will take us somewhere. I list myself among those who suggest that Christianity is the only known system that provides man with an acceptable conclusion.All humans act daily with trust in certain presuppositions and assumptions. As to the value of the goals and the aims which he is following, he does not act upon proof, but upon belief. For example, if a person sits in a chair, he has acted in faith or belief (used here inte (read full article) |

| Article Title :: 5 Biblical Facts About Temptation |
| |
| Satan tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, and Jesus in the desert. Guess what? Satan tempts you and I everyday too. Satan is nothing but a fallen angel gone bad. Satan is an evil spirit who disguises him self to us in deceiving ways. He tempts us into doing immoral things that make us want to live his way instead of God’s way.1.)Satan likes to tempt people when they are at their most vulnerable, or when they are physically and emotionally overstressed.“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to beco (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Unidentified (UFOs) and Identified Flying Objects |
| |
| The idea of UFOs flying down and saving humanity from injustice and woe is a popularized image from the last few decades. Let’s identify the UFO trend, popular Christian images, the Mayan calendar with its 2012 predictions, and a reality of PHOTONs flying from clearly identified astrophysical objects.Some fifty years ago UFOs captured the attention of people looking up to the skies. Once reports started and the government investigated, more and more UFOs appeared. It’s like watching recently popularized crop circles. Simple circular forms started around Stonehedge. Lights collect over a wheat field and quickly trace out circular patterns. The more people learn and connect their (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How to Read the Bible for Greater Understanding |
| |
| Do you remember when you got a letter in the mail and you were so excited to read it? Did you read paragraph on page three of five and feel that you got the whole idea of your friend's letter? Of course not! You read every single word! So why do so many go to the letter that Paul wrote to the church in Rome and read verses 1-5 of chapter 6 and then walk away believing they fully understand the entire letter?There are some distractions that block our understanding the Bible. Some of the distractions to reading for understanding are as follows:
1) The term Epistle- it simply means "letter". It seems that when we hear the term '"epistle" we lose sight of the fact that this writing (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Pluralism and Modern Christians: Exclusivism in an Inclusivist World |
| |
| When we encounter people of other faiths—Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Baha'is, etc.—observing their obvious devotion to what their religious convictions and the inner peace they seem to have and the gentleness, it makes us want to make a place for them in the kingdom of God. Our Western culture promotes pluralism of all kinds—racial, ethnic, political, and religious. Anyone who argues for one Way as the exclusive way of salvation our society opposes, ridicules, and fears.Of course, God, in His sovereignty, may choose to save anyone He wants. In the exercising of His wisdom, justice, and mercy, He certainly has the prerogative that human judges often exercise: of allowing (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Harmony and Unison |
| |
| The other day at choir practice, our director was trying to decide if she would prefer a certain hymn in our Christmas program to be sung in parts or in unison. In a sort of offhanded way, she asked, "I wonder if the heavenly choirs will be sung in parts or in unison?"I responded to the effect that I didn't dare open that particular can of philosophical worms in a choir practice...I mean, there's all kinds of levels here. On the musical side of it, there's plenty of fodder for both sides. Parts bring lush and rich harmonies, counterpoint, and fullness to a piece. There's a depth to it that you simply don't get with one single melody line.But there's a power to uni (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Dealing with Heart Disease |
| |
| There are two different types of Heart Disease, the disease of the flesh and the disease of the spirit. For a moment I would like to talk to you about the Heart Disease of the flesh. In 1999 I had a massive heart attack, in fact I had three. On the first one I was pronounced dead by a Doctor from a prestigious Hospital. God in His mercy raised me up to continue my ministry, but He also allowed my body to maintain the Disease.I understand what many go thru when their hearts fail them. I know the pain and sometimes the despair that follows the attack. Fear wasn't with me but was rebuked. I was ready to leave this world and be with my Saviour. Living with this disea (read full article) |
