ON CHRISTIANITY | NWAonline: "DEAR REV. GRAHAM: How can I know whether or not a group is a cult? A woman in my office keeps trying to get me to go with her to her religious assembly, but I don’t know anything about it. I didn’t come from a religious family, but I know I need God."

Four common reasons why people reject Christianity
Four common reasons why people reject Christianity: "In the past 20 years or so, I have frequently pondered why so many in contemporary culture reject Christian belief and practice. Fact is, that people in our Western culture seem to be more and more resistant to embrace Christianity.
Why do so many seem so resistant to the claims of Jesus and the good news that he brings? Doubtless there are many factors that could be explored, but I suggest there are at least four common reasons why many of our friends and neighbours are cool toward Christ and his message."

Question of the Week
Question of the Week: "Jesus, in response to the Pharisees’ question “Who do you think you are?” said “‘Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.’‘You are not yet fifty years old,’ the Jews said to him, ‘and you have seen Abraham!’ ‘I tell you the truth,’ Jesus answered, ‘before Abraham was born, I am!’ At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.”"

What should we learn from the life of Samson?
What should we learn from the life of Samson?: " Samson’s life is one of contradiction. First, he was to be “a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth” (Judges 13:5), yet he continually broke his vow. The Spirit of God came upon him many times, giving him great strength to fight the Philistines, the oppressors of the Israelites. At the same time, however, Samson was a womanizer and a vengeful man, full of sin. Samson’s life illustrates that giving in to temptation leads to sin, that God will use even a sinful man to enact His will, and that God will not let us escape the consequences of our sin."

What was the source of Samson's strength?
What was the source of Samson's strength?: " In Judges 13:5 an angel gives a promise and command to Manoah’s wife: “You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razor because the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines.” Her son was Samson. As an adult, Samson’s strength allowed him to tear apart a lion with his bare hands and to defeat many Philistines with supernatural acts of strength."
