Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog: "Some Atheists like to make a big thing out of something I have said for years—-that when a Christian shares his faith he should 'circumnavigate the intellect.'"
Harvest Weekend Devotion for 4/2/2011: "Hope Beyond This Life"
Harvest Weekend Devotion for 4/2/2011: "Hope Beyond This Life": "Not only does the Bible tell us we will live beyond the grave, but it also tells us there is hope beyond this life. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead proves there is life beyond the grave for the believer."
Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/4/2011: "A Heartfelt Act"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/4/2011: "A Heartfelt Act": "As you read the New Testament, you can't help but notice how little it says about the major events of world history. You might think Scripture would mention Rome and all its mighty conquests. But it doesn't."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/1/2011: "A Foundational Truth"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/1/2011: "A Foundational Truth": "In one of the oldest books of the Bible, the Book of Job, the question is asked, 'If mortals die, can they live again?' That is something everyone should ask in life: 'What's going to happen to me when I die? What is there beyond this place called Earth?'"

http://www.gotquestions.org/moral-relativism.html
Question: "What is moral relativism?"
Answer: Moral relativism is more easily understood in comparison to moral absolutism. Absolutism claims that morality relies on universal principles (natural law, conscience). Christian absolutists believe that God is the ultimate source of our common morality, and that it is, therefore, as unchanging as He is. Moral relativism asserts that morality is not based on any absolute standard. Rather, ethical “truths” depend on variables such as the situation, culture, one's feelings, etc.

Once Saved, Always Saved?
Once Saved, Always Saved?: "Listen to a discussion about eternal security and you’ll eventually hear this question: “Are you saying that since we’re secure as Christians, we can do whatever we want to?” It’s the “once saved, always saved” idea that says, once you are saved, you’re saved no matter how you may behave."
On The Box
On The Box: "From Kris (North Dakota): I have been talking with some of my Christian friends about biblical evangelism, because they are mostly 'friendship evangelists'. My friends have said that they do not talk with lost people on the streets, because they believe that someone else will witness to lost people, so my friends don't witness"
Stone the Preacher
Stone the Preacher: "I went to the Voice of the Martyrs Conference last Saturday. Man, we sure take our freedom for granted. You have to try real hard or be a real jerk to get arrested or persecuted for your faith in this country. If only Christians realized how truly valuable and precious our faith is, and how freely we are able to share it."

When I was in elementary school, we had a little game that we would play in which we would touch someone and say, “You have cooties.” Of course, we had to have a way to defend ourselves, so when someone would touch us and claim they just gave us cooties, we would say, “Not me, I don’t have cooties.” Then we would hold out our hands, revealing the handwritten initials, C. P., which stood for “cootie protection.”"

I saw a mother of about 27/28 clutching her newborn to her chest in fear as the temperature got colder and colder and colder. Fallen creation?"

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. The local body of believers—those left behind to share Christ with neighbors and friends—equipped the men for their journey. They did so for the same reasons that apply today:"

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.

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."

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.”"

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

By calling atheists religious, you are again lying.'"
