Prophesies. | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence

Prophesies. | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "While prophetic interpretations are fascinating, don’t let them become a distraction from your commission—to preach the gospel to every creature (see Mark 16:15). We have too many who run from conference to conference, filling their minds with theories to a point where they have neither time nor concern for those who could be snatched any moment into eternal damnation."

Why did the Old Testament Law command against the eating of pork?

Why did the Old Testament Law command against the eating of pork?: "nswer: Many of the prohibitions and requirements in the Old Testament seem pointless to the modern Western mind. A case in point is the ban on eating pork (Leviticus 11:7). After all, to most people, a good pork loin served with apples and nuts makes for a very fine meal! Understanding the purpose of the Mosaic Law, generally, and the cultural view of swine in particular is essential to appreciating the dietary restriction on pork."

What does the Bible say about selfishness?

What does the Bible say about selfishness?: "Answer: Selfishness is that attitude of being concerned with one’s own interests above the interests of others. However, the Bible commands us to “do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4, NASB)."

Why does God hate sin?

Why does God hate sin?: "Answer: God hates sin because it is the very antithesis of His nature. The psalmist describes God’s hatred of sin this way: “For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; no evil dwells with You” (Psalm 5:4). God hates sin because He is holy; holiness is the most exalted of all His attributes (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 6:8). His holiness totally saturates His being. His holiness epitomizes His moral perfection and His absolute freedom from blemish of any kind (Psalm 89:35; 92:15; Romans 9:14)."

“If hell exists, where in the universe is this huge place?” | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence

“If hell exists, where in the universe is this huge place?” | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "Do you know where the city of Invercargill is located? More than likely you don’t (it is at the bottom of the South Island of New Zealand). So, does the city not exist because you cannot identify where it is?"

On The Box: Marks of a Possible False Convert

On The Box: Marks of a Possible False Convert: "On my birthday, in 2009, I preached a sermon titled: The Marks of a Possible False Convert. While it encouraged some, it caused a little bit of an uproar among those who disagreed with the sermon's content--especially among a few open-air preachers who ascribe to and teach a number of heresies."

Bible contradiction? | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence

Bible contradiction? | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "Psalm 58:10,11. Skeptics argue that these verses contradict Prov. 24:16–18: “Do not rejoice when your enemy falls…” The context of these verses is God’s judgment of the wicked. There is a big difference between rejoicing when misfortune comes and when justice is eventually done."

On The Box: No Evangelism Team is Complete Without a 'Fran'

On The Box: No Evangelism Team is Complete Without a 'Fran': "Fran is not an open-air preacher. She doesn't engage a lot of strangers in conversation. She won't set any records for distributing gospel tracts. In fact, she is so new to biblical evangelism, she is content remaining in the background when she joins her church's evangelism team on the streets."
