On The Box: Advantage: Christian
On The Box: Advantage: Christian: "For the Christian born physically blind, the first person they will every see is the risen Lord Jesus Christ as He welcomes them into His joy and kingdom. For the unbeliever who has 20/20 vision, but spends a lifetime in spiritual blindness they, too, will see the risen Lord Jesus Christ as they face His holy wrath and eternal judgment."

Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog: "I have a lot of ideas. Some are good, and some are a little strange. Take for instance a strange idea I had for years. I noticed that car dealerships strive to get our attention with balloons flying above their car yards. I imagined driving along the freeway and seeing an arrow in the sky, with no visible means of support, pointing down at dealerships. Now that would get attention."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/6/2011: "What the Resurrection Means to Us"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/6/2011: "What the Resurrection Means to Us": "First, it assures our future resurrection. Because Jesus both died and rose again, we will be raised like Him. 1 Corinthians 15:20 says, 'But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.' The word 'firstfruits' speaks of a sampling, a foretaste, a glimpse. Jesus is the firstfruit."
The Winnable War - A New Beginning with Greg Laurie
The Winnable War - A New Beginning with Greg Laurie: "The day you make a commitment to Jesus Christ, a very real spiritual war begins in your life. Conversion makes our hearts a battlefield.
The Bible often uses the picture of military battle, fighting, and warfare to describe the Christian life. Paul exhorted Timothy, “Endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ” (2 Timothy 2:3 nkjv). He also wrote that he had “fought the good fight” (2 Timothy 4:7 nkjv)"

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: "Bob Green said...I accept the fact of evolution because it has been observed. Dear Bob,
Observed? Where? [Bob replied]: If you would care to Google on ‘Observed instances of speciation’ you will find plenty of examples, for example from the talkorigins site. However, beware, you will also find plenty of religious sites anxious to push their religious agenda. Religion is irrelevant with respect to science.”"

On The Box
On The Box: "The so-called Euthyphro’s dilemma...You will encounter it again and again.
I say so-called because it is not really a true dilemma at all. In reality it turns out to be a false dilemma. That is to say, a logical fallacy in which two options are presented as though they are the only two available, when in fact there are more alternatives. A good example of a false dilemma would be to say: “Either the traffic light is red or it is green!” This is a false dilemma because in reality those are not really the only two options to draw from as the traffic light could also turn out to be yellow!

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.

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.”"

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. 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": "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."
