C. RICHARD WELLS: Are we ashamed of the Gospel?

C. RICHARD WELLS: Are we ashamed of the Gospel?: "There was a time when Christianity was cool. Many of us can still remember “born-again” politics in the '70s, and many of us grew up in a place and time where “going to church” was the thing to do.

Here and there, we still find pockets of Christian cool. When I went to teach at a university down South a few years ago, I received an orientation guide which — along with notes on campus services and getting a driver’s license — alerted incoming faculty (especially from, say, California!) that it was common in West Tennessee to ask newcomers, “Have you found a church yet?"

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: 2 world-views

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: 2 world-views: "There are two basic world-views in this life. We either justify men or we justify God. Take for instance this statement: "The Bible says the best of mankind is evil." If you love God you will immediately nod with approval of that statement. You will justify God. If you haven't been converted, you will more than likely be quick to justify man (and of course yourself). "

What is the meaning of the Parable of the Ten Virgins?

What is the meaning of the Parable of the Ten Virgins?: " As we take a good look at the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13), we must acknowledge up front that there has been much debate as to the meaning of these words of our Savior. At least one aspect of this parable can be known with absolute certainty. The bridegroom is Jesus Christ, and this parable describes His return. Both the Old Testament (Isaiah 54:4-6; 62:4-5; Hosea 2:19) and the New Testament (John 3:27-30; Matthew 9:15; Mark 2:19-20) represent the Messiah as a bridegroom. Both God’s people Israel and the Church are described in Scripture as the bride (Ephesians 5:25-32) for the Messiah."

What is the meaning of the Parable of the Good Samaritan?

What is the meaning of the Parable of the Good Samaritan?: "The Parable of the Good Samaritan is precipitated by and in answer to a question posed to Jesus by a lawyer. In this case the lawyer would have been an expert in the Mosaic Law and not a court lawyer of today. The lawyer’s question was, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (Luke 10:25). This question provided Jesus with an opportunity to define what His disciples’ relationship should be to their neighbors. The text says that the scribe (lawyer) had put the question to Jesus as a test, but the text does not indicate that there was hostility in the question. He could have simply been seeking information. The wording of the question does, however, give us some insight into where the scribe’s heart was spiritually. He was making the assumption that man must do something to obtain eternal life. Although this could have been an opportunity for Jesus to discuss salvation issues, He chose a different course and focuses on our relationships and what it means to love."

What is the meaning of the Parable of the Ten Minas?

What is the meaning of the Parable of the Ten Minas?: "Christ uses the Parable of the Ten Minas in Luke 19:11–27 to teach about the coming kingdom of God on earth. The occasion of the parable is Jesus’ final trip to Jerusalem. Many people in the crowd along the road believed that He was going to Jerusalem in order to establish His earthly kingdom immediately. (Of course, He was going to Jerusalem in order to die, as He had stated in Luke 18:33.) Jesus used this parable to dispel any hopeful rumors that the time of the kingdom had arrived."

What is the meaning of 666?

What is the meaning of 666?: "At the close of Revelation 13, which discusses the beast (the Antichrist) and his false prophet, we read, “This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666” (Revelation 13:18). Somehow, the number 666 is a clue to the identity of the beast. Revelation 13 also mentions the “mark of the beast” (verses 16–17), and popular thought often links 666 with the mark; however, the mark of the beast and 666 appear to be two different things. The mark of the beast is something people must receive to in order to buy and sell. The number 666 is somehow associated with the beast/Antichrist as “his” number."
