EVANGELISM IS THE ANSWER!

Evangelism requires preaching the Gospel, converting souls from sin, and spreading salvation. This is how Christ lived, what he taught, and what His followers practiced. The full message of the Gospel was preached for the first time in approximately A.D. 33, and within less than 30 years it had been taken to all the world. What a story! Jesus was always on the move during His personal ministry. He went to the villages and to the cities. he spoke to the multitudes and to individuals. He used physical acts to teach spiritual lessons. No man ever spoke with greater authority or showed the power of God more clearly in His mighty works. Truly, He was the Son of God. Calling twelve men, known as apostles, Jesus taught them and trained them to carry on His work after His death, burial, and resurrection. Some of His final words were, " Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all ...

JESUS IN HISTORY!

pay per click advertising Christianity, far from being a philosophy or merely some ethical system, is pre-eminently a redemptive system. It is belief in Christ as the son of God who will redeem us from sin and raise us from the dead to an eternal judgment. Thus an investigation into the genuineness of the claims of the Christian religion must begin with the historical reality of Jesus, for apart from him, redemption from sin and a resurrection from the grave become mere “pie in the sky by and by.” I. EVIDENCE FOR THE HISTORICAL JESUS A. FROM PAGAN SOURCES 1.Thallus. A Samaritan born historian named Thallus lived and worked in Rome about the middle of the first century (c. 52 AD). Though his works are lost to us, Julius Africanus, a writer of the early third century, was familiar with Thallus’ history of Greece. Africanus in commenting on the darkness which fell over the land during the crucifixion of Jesus (Mark 15:33) said that, “Thallus, in the third book of...

IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY DEVOTION!

In the run of family necessities and daily demands we skip the very important things behind. When children grow older they need space, time and monetary assistance, we happily assist them in this regard but when it is time for us to train them preparing them for eternity, we lack. Regular Bible study and devotion are essential to anyone's spiritual devotion and spiritual life. This includes Christians whether or not they have children, and it includes children who are in the embryonic stage of whatever their spirutual life will be. Yes, public worship plays an important part in this; however, public worship is not daily, there are times when a more private setting is necessary, and at times children need to worship and study God's word solely with their families. Devotion is defined as "an act of prayer or private worship"; or "a religious exercise or practice other than the regular corporate worship of a congregation." The word itself never appears in th...

WHAT IS YOUR STAND? (PART III)

A Review of Positions Opposed to the Use of Instruments in Christian Worship. 1. Instruments should not be used in Christian worship because this violates the principle of seeking to restore New Testament Christianity. It is widely accepted that instruments were not used in Christian worship when the inspired apostles were in charge of worship assemblies. Everett Ferguson quotes J. W. McKinnon’s doctoral dissertation at Columbia University which places the introduction of instruments in the tenth century (12). If we seek, then, to restore New Testament Christianity in worship, as well as in doctrine, organization, and membership, then we certainly would not use instruments. Since instruments had been used both by themselves and with singing under the Jewish system, it seems clear that abstaining from the use of instruments in either fashion under the New Covenant was intentional. If, then, one is seeking to be the church of the New Testament, as restoration churches do,...
