The Christian life is a gift from God, but to share the gospel with others is to allow them (family and friends) to enjoy the same gift that we have! These short segments will allow you to focus on one aspect of God and His Word (or gospel, also known as the Bible). Sometimes we feel reluctant to share with others because we are not sure what to say or we might feel timid about it. Jesus was clear about this but also provided some solace:
“Therefore, 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. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20).
The goal of these segments is to present one of them with someone you know to begin a conversation. This is a good start for sharing the gospel with someone you know.
It would be appropriate here to decipher the origin and provocation of sin. After God created the “heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1), He saw what He had made and said it was “good” (verse 31). Later in chapter 2, Adam and Eve were created. Thus, God created Adam and Eve, and they were “good.” We can interpret this as meaning that they were not in rebellion to God, but rather in unity with their
Can we say that the Word of God was only alive as both Jesus and the apostles proclaimed it nearly 2000 years ago, or does it continue to make an impact on people since then? Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the United States, seemed to think so about 1800 years after the time of Jesus and His disciples. In Lincoln’s words, “In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is
Merriam-Webster’s definition of quick is, “living, alive.”[1] Is this how we perceive the Word of God? Sadly, our society today does not put a precedence on reading and abiding by God’s Word. Our society is structured so that people are expected to govern their activities themselves. There is no precedent or guidance from God’s Word. People prefer to live their lives themselves in accordance to their own desires, without direction from God and His Word.
Do you know of anyone who can accurately predict the future? Let’s consider the prophecies in the Word of God which at the time, predicted the future. Many Prophecies were uttered in the Old Testament by both men and women. The key component to a prophecy is whether or not it was fulfilled (i.e. a true prophecy). Prophecies given by human beings themselves are not likely to happen because, as we all know, human beings
There are other documents which are still extant (or still in existence).[1] For example, the Ebla archive was found in northern Syria in the 1970s. It comprises the true stories about Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (the forefathers or Patriarchs of Israel), as recorded in the book of Genesis (chapters 17-32). These accounts were written on clay tablets dating back to about 2300 B.C. – the time of the Patriarchs. Furthermore, some archaeologists working in northern
