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.
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
We can also appreciate the trustworthiness of God’s Word from an archeological perspective because of a number of scrolls which were found in caves situated near the Dead Sea in modern day Israel. In 1947, a shepherd boy discovered a jar in one of the caves containing scrolls inscribed with the words we have today pertaining to many of the books in the Old Testament. These scrolls were manufactured by the Essenes, a monastic group
But what does it mean that the Word of God is trustworthy? Merriam-Webster defines it as “worthy of confidence: dependable.”[1] This speaks a lot about how one can feel when reading, meditating on, and incorporating the Word of God into one’s life. Do we guard ourselves whenever we read a news clip or something from social media? Hopefully, we are careful about what we read. When God promised the earthly kingdom forever to King David,
Paul, Silas, and Timothy later wrote these words to the church at Thessalonica: “And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe” (1 Thessalonians 2:13). Is it possible, then, that God’s Spirit did influence these writers? Jesus instructed the
