evangelism | Devotions For Disciples: "If laying down your life meant that you could see people come to Christ, would you do it? And if so, would you be overjoyed to do so? When I read this scripture I think to myself, “I wish I could be as dedicated to the gospel as Paul was.” The truth is, as we walk with Jesus, He will transform us in the same way as Paul. The more we say yes to Jesus, the less we will care for the things of this world and the more we will treasure what is eternal. Even to the point of losing our lives."

Laurie Roth - Christlam: Merging Christianity with Islam

Laurie Roth - Christlam: Merging Christianity with Islam: "Rarely do people these days speak spiritual or political truth, especially if they perceive they might be rejected, attacked or lose power.

Let’s see…’Show real faith and imagine yourself in that Jaguar’ ‘social gospel’ ‘self esteem’ gospel ‘many ways to God gospel.’ "

The Mystery of His Love | Daily Devotion | BGEA

The Mystery of His Love | Daily Devotion | BGEA: "No human experience can fully illustrate the imputed righteousness of God, as conceived by His infinite love. It is a mystery-incomprehensible and inexplicable. Like the mystery of the sun’s heat and light, we cannot measure it or explain it, and yet we could not live without it. Writing of the mystery of completed righteousness, Paul said, “We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory. ."

What is a Christian?

What is a Christian?: "Answer: A dictionary definition of a Christian would be something similar to “a person professing belief in Jesus as the Christ or in the religion based on the teachings of Jesus.” While this is a good starting point, like many dictionary definitions, it falls somewhat short of really communicating the biblical truth of what it means to be a Christian. The word “Christian” is used three times in the New Testament (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Peter 4:16). Followers of Jesus Christ were first called “Christians” in Antioch (Acts 11:26) because their behavior, activity, and speech were like Christ. The word “Christian” literally means, “belonging to the party of Christ” or a “follower of Christ.”"
