Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog
Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog: I hear that PZ Myers just stated publicly that he thinks I'm a fraud. See: http://bit.ly/njFaBW Does that mean that up until today he thought that I was genuine in my faith, but after viewing our latest video (called "180")

The spot is a blue-green lake called the Sea of Galilee or Kinneret as the locals call it. The Sea of Galilee is an oval-shaped body of water about eight miles wide and thirteen miles long, and is nearly 700 feet below sea level."

Essay on Forgiveness by C. S. Lewis
Essay on Forgiveness by C. S. Lewis: We say a great many things in church (and out of church too) without thinking of what we are saying. For instance, we say in the Creed " I believe in the forgiveness of sins." I had been saying it for several years before I asked myself why it was in the Creed. At first sight it seems hardly worth putting in. "If one is a Christian," I thought " of course one believes in the forgiveness of sins.

Greg Laurie Daily Devotions - How Will They Hear? - Greg Laurie daily devotion - July 13, 2011 - Christian Devotional: Have you ever led someone to Christ? If not, why not? Maybe you think that God can never use you in this way, that you’re just not gifted in that regard, and it is only for a privileged few to lead others to Christ. But if this were the case, why was the Great Commission given to every Christian? Every believer is called to “go and make disciples of all the nations . . . ” (Matthew 28:19). That means we are all called to evangelism. We all have a part to play.

The God-Man | The Jesus Site Blog
The God-Man | The Jesus Site Blog: If you’ve been around Christianity long enough, you’ve probably heard someone say that Jesus was “fully man and fully God.” Perhaps you’ve heard some other variation. Perhaps you’ve wondered how that is possible. Hopefully, at the very least, you took it on faith. Better than that, hopefully you’ve wrestled with it a bit in order to get an understanding that you feel comfortable with intellectually.
The Paradox of Karma | The Jesus Site Blog
The Paradox of Karma | The Jesus Site Blog: I wonder if many people have really ever thought about the idea of Karma. The way that I have always understood it, when you did something selfish, insensitive, rude, cruel, mean, or otherwise unkind you will accumulate “bad Karma.” On the other hand, when you do things that are kind, considerate, selfless, caring, loving or otherwise “good” you will earn “good Karma.

Harvest Daily Devotion for 8/17/2011: "The Only Way": "People like to assert that all religions are true and that Jesus is one of many ways that lead to God. They usually have a bumper sticker that reads, 'Coexist' and includes a variety of religious symbols. That is a nice sentiment."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 8/16/2011: "A Watered-Down Gospel": "Without question the greatest life to live is the Christian life, because God takes a life that was empty, aimless, and, worst of all, headed for a certain judgment and then turns it around and transforms it."

Clearly, many mistakes were made that led to its sinking. Although it was called the unsinkable ship, it sank. And it sank relatively easily."

Did Jesus come to bring peace or not? | Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry
Did Jesus come to bring peace or not? | Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry: "Context is the key to Jesus' words. In Matthew 10:34, Jesus is speaking about the divisions that will come, even among family members, over their belief or lack of belief about Him. In that respect, He has come to bring division. This context is also related in Luke 12:51."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 8/12/2011: "The Message Proclaimed"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 8/12/2011: "The Message Proclaimed": "From the original Greek, we could translate the final question in Romans 10:14 as, 'How shall they hear without one preaching?' The Phillips translation puts it this way, 'How can they hear unless someone proclaims Him?' Therefore, we see the emphasis is not on a preacher, but on preaching."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 8/10/2011: "No Room for Prejudice": "Being an effective communicator of the gospel requires a willingness to reach out to people who are different from you. We tend to want to hang around people who look like us, who talk like us, and who are just like us. But how willing are we to leave our comfort zone and go to a person completely different from us with the message of the gospel?"
The Unparalleled Passion of Jesus Christ - Desiring God
The Unparalleled Passion of Jesus Christ - Desiring God: "If Christians were not so familiar with these things because of 2000 years of tradition and liturgy, they might feel how utterly unlikely it was that this death would be the basis of a world-transforming faith. How could it be that a convicted, condemned, executed pretender to the throne of Rome would unleash in the next three centuries a power to suffer and to love that shaped the empire?"

Growing Up: Becoming a Real Man
Growing Up: Becoming a Real Man: "Biblical manliness is about authentic character. It’s not about bravado, and it’s not about boyishness. Going out into the woods with a bunch of other men, putting on war paint, making animal noises, telling scary stories around a campfire, and then working up a good cry might be good, visceral fun and all, but that has nothing to do with the biblical idea of manliness."

The Marks of Immaturity, and How to Keep Growing
The Marks of Immaturity, and How to Keep Growing: "Selfishness is one telltale sign of immaturity. Babies are completely self-centered. They scream if they don't get what they want when they want it. All they are aware of are their own needs and desires. They never say thanks for anything. They can't help others; they can't give anything. They can only receive."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 8/5/2011: "An Essential of Evangelism": "Jesus, the master evangelist, used something that many Christians seriously lack today, which is tact. Tact has been defined as diplomacy, sensitivity. One definition of it is skill and grace in dealing with others. Isaac Newton defined tact as 'the art of making a point without making an enemy."

On The Box: Solicitors of Death
On The Box: Solicitors of Death: "I wonder how many Christian parents during the upcoming election season will send their children door-to-door to solicit support for pro-choice candidates (Republican or Democrat), but wouldn't dream of sending their children door-to-door to share the gospel. They'll send their kids out to solicit death, but they won't send their kids out to offer life."
Harvest Daily Devotion for 8/4/2011: "A Passion for the Lost"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 8/4/2011: "A Passion for the Lost": "The apostle Paul had something essential for effective evangelism: a God-given burden for those who did not know Jesus Christ. In his case, the burden was for his own people, the Jews. He cared. It burned inside him."

Crosswalk.com - The Devotional: "How deep does my arrogance run? Put it this way: you didn't ask, but I'm going to tell you anyway. You see, the biggest reason I've not yet written the book I've got jangling around in my brain is that deep down I still actually believe a complete impossibility: that hidden between my mind and my keyboard are the magic, just-right words that will get everyone to agree. On everything"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 8/1/2011: "True Conversion"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 8/1/2011: "True Conversion": "Sometimes we hear about well-known people who claim to have made a commitment to Jesus Christ. Often, it is around election time. When they address Christians, they speak of their great faith in God. After the elections, we seldom hear about it again."
