In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley - In Touch - Feb. 24, 2011 - Christian Devotional: "Paul and Barnabas set the standard for the church's mission work when they obeyed God's call to go forth.

What all Christians are called to do
What all Christians are called to do: "When you accept Christ and follow him, one of the main things Christians are called to do is to go out into the world and tell others about Jesus and what he did for them so that everyone can have the opportunity to have eternal life in heaven. Unfortunately only 2% of Christians ever share their faith in Christ with anyone."

Morning and Evening Daily Devotions
Morning and Evening Daily Devotions: "The love of Christ in its sweetness, its fulness, its greatness, its faithfulness, passeth all human comprehension. Where shall language be found which shall describe his matchless, his unparalleled love towards the children of men?"
On The Box
On The Box: "Often times we will have atheists or agnostics approach us during an open-air, insisting that they once were on fire Christians for God but now they have a message to share...God is just imaginary. More times than not this anger they have is rooted in some hypocrites they encountered along the way in church. Two things are worth mentioning here."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 3/28/2011: "The Problem with Compromise"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 3/28/2011: "The Problem with Compromise": "Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is like leaven, a comparison that may not mean a lot to us today. But it would have been immediately understood by the people of His day. Leaven is like yeast, and it always has negative connotations in Scripture."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 3/25/2011: "The Weapon of Compromise": "When Jesus said, 'The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed,' people of His day would have understood that Jesus was comparing it to the smallest of things. A mustard seed was regarded as one of the smallest of the seeds."

Can You Know You're Going to Heaven? - Resources - Eternal Perspective Ministries: "Ancient cities kept rolls of their citizens. Guards were posted at the city gates to keep out criminals and enemies by checking their names against the list. This is the context for Revelation 21:27: “Nothing impure will ever enter [the city], nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”"

Harvest Daily Devotion for 3/24/2011: "The Church Marches On": "Our numbers have never been greater in the church today.

How Firm Our Foundation
How Firm Our Foundation: "Let me ask you a theological question: Are you born again which results in your believing in Christ, or does your faith in Christ result in your being born again? Maybe you think I’m just playing with words, but how you answer that question significantly affects what you believe about man’s sin, God’s salvation, and more important, your eternal security."
Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog
Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog: "Ray, I know you have heard this before, you fail to understand. Atheism is the antithesis of religion. Perhaps this will help: antithesis | anˈtiθəsis | noun ( pl. -ses |-ˌsēz|) a person or thing that is the direct opposite of someone or something else : love is the antithesis of selfishness. By calling atheists religious, you are again lying.'"

This Week on TV
This Week on TV: "Everybody has needs in life. Some of those needs could be material, physical, emotional, or spiritual. When you have a need, where do you go for the answer? In this sermon, Dr. Stanley shares with us that only God fully knows our needs and He desires that our needs be met."

On The Box: "You are flying across a beautiful and very green New Zealand in a small chartered plane. You are a big “Lord of the Rings” fan, and you are excited that you are going to see the actual filming locations first hand. As you gaze at a massive snow-caped and rugged mountain in the distance, the pilot quickly brings you back to reality. His voice is noticeably strained as he says that he is having serious problems controlling the plane. He soberly says that you must listen carefully, if you want to live."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 3/21/2011: "Judgment, Not Condemnation"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 3/21/2011: "Judgment, Not Condemnation": "Sometimes I think Christians believe they are never to make any evaluations of others, that they are to just be loving toward everyone. While it is true that we should be loving, that also means speaking the truth. In fact, the Bible tells us to speak the truth in love (see Ephesians 4:15). So if I am having lunch with a friend who has spinach in his teeth, then as a friend, I will tell him that. A friend tells a friend the truth, even if it is uncomfortable or awkward."

False Prophets and Lying Wonders
False Prophets and Lying Wonders: "Have you noticed that no matter how many times charismatic televangelists make outlandish false prophecies, they never lack for followers, and they don't stop claiming the Lord has spoken directly to them?"
Lovers of Money
Lovers of Money: "Paul commands Timothy to avoid those who are lovers of money (cf. 2 Timothy 3:1-9). And yet the prosperity preachers are not only tolerated within evangelicalism, they are given a platform and sometimes even commended. The leaders of this movement are slaves of mammon, not Christ. So, how do you explain evangelicalism’s reluctance to shun Prosperity/Word of Faith teachers?"
Is Eternal Life Always Eternal?
Is Eternal Life Always Eternal?: "I remember exactly where I was when I discovered some Christians believe eternal life may not always be eternal. The moment is still etched in my memory. Shortly after I was saved, a friend invited me to a midweek Bible study at a local church. During the course of our study, one fellow asked, “How can someone know if he has lost his salvation?” As discussion ensued, it became clear he was talking about himself. This poor man thought he was in danger of losing his salvation."
Stone the Preacher
Stone the Preacher: "Ireland has a very distinctive history. It was an island untouched by the Roman legions, and Patrick, the Evangelist, brought to it the Gospel of grace."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 3/18/2011: "A Counterfeit Gospel"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 3/18/2011: "A Counterfeit Gospel": "I watched a very famous preacher being interviewed awhile ago on television. When the topic of sin came up, the preacher said, 'I never talk about sin. I never use the word 'sin,' because people already know they are sinners. I am not here to beat people down. I just want to lift them up.' However, I don't think that most people know they are sinners. And our job is not just to lift people up; it is to point them to Christ. So we have to use the word 'sin.'"

Letter from Prison | Bezeugen BLOG: "We receive a number of letters from people especially those in our tract club. Few have been as touching as this letter that I received last week. Like much of Paul’s writings in the New Testament, you see, this letter was written from a prison cell. I was certainly surprised when a few months back a prisoner enrolled in our tract club. Please read in his own words how he is utilizing our Gospel tracts in prison:"
