Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/15/2011: "A New Relationship": "On the morning of the Resurrection, Jesus didn't allow Mary to touch Him. He was essentially saying, 'It's not going to be the way it used to be. You can't hold on to Me in the old way. It's a new covenant.'"

In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley - In Touch - Oct. 5, 2010 - Christian Devotional: "The tumultuous times in which we live challenge our sense of security and well-being. In a world filled with violence, injustice, financial instability, and natural disasters, how can we live in undisturbed safety? Jesus' words to His disciples seem contradictory—peace and tribulation just don't go together"

Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/14/2011: "Wholehearted Devotion": "Of all the people Jesus could have appeared to first after His resurrection, He appeared to Mary Magdalene. It is interesting to think about, because among the Jews of the day, the testimony of a woman was not held in high regard."

The Truth – Works Both Ways | The Jesus Site Blog
The Truth – Works Both Ways | The Jesus Site Blog: "The truth has an interesting characteristic about it. If something is true, you can generally work the idea backward or forward and it just works. Let’s take a simple math problem, for example. If you add together 2 + 3, you get 5. Now, if you work it backwards and start at 5 and subtract 3, you end up back at 2. Most math teachers will tell their students that this is a good way to verify that they have answered a math problem correctly."

Never Assume! Challenging the Basic Assumptions of Evolutionists - Answers in Genesis: "Evolutionists like Dr. Richard Dawkins speak authoritatively as if their not-even-theory were as good as fact. But building a case for naturalistic evolution is like trying to build a house in midair. No matter how solid the construction, the house will collapse without a foundation."

Yet, I know that if I told you that Hell doesn't exist and that you have nothing to worry about when it comes to your moral responsibility, the accusations would slow down and perhaps even stop."

Rob Bell: a Brother to Embrace, or a Wolf to Avoid?
Rob Bell: a Brother to Embrace, or a Wolf to Avoid?: "Is Rob Bell truly a Christian, or is he one of those dangerous deceivers Scripture warns us about repeatedly (Acts 20:29; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15; Colossians 2:8; 2 Peter 2:1; etc.)?
It's a fair—and necessary—question. Christ’s famous warning about wolves in sheep’s clothing is given to us as an imperative: “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:15-16). Our Lord clearly expects His true disciples to be able to spot spiritual imposters and wolves in sheep’s clothing—especially those who are purveyors of deadly false doctrines."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/11/2011: "Bad Company": "Peter's denial of Jesus did not happen over a period of seconds or minutes, but over a period of hours. An hour had passed from the time the first person said, 'You were one of those with Jesus the Galilean,' to the time Peter made his second denial. He had ample opportunity to hightail it out of there, but he remained in this situation."

Why do Christians try to impose their values on others?
Why do Christians try to impose their values on others?: "Christians are frequently accused of trying to impose their values or their beliefs on others. The oft-heard accusation is that Christians are trying to “shove their religion down our throats.” In addressing this question, we must also address the implied accusation that Christians are an authoritarian group that seeks to impinge on the rights of others. Of course, there have been tyrants who were professed Christians, but true followers of Jesus Christ do not seek to infringe on anyone’s basic human rights."
Can a Christian be a nudist? What does the Bible say about nudity?
Can a Christian be a nudist? What does the Bible say about nudity?: "Many pagan cultures throughout history considered public nudity normative, especially Spartan, Greek, and Roman societies. In more recent years, pubic nudity has become more and more acceptable, with many groups promoting a “back-to-nature” philosophy and the supposed health benefits of taking off one’s clothes. Nudists, or naturists, form clubs, frequent clothing-free beaches, and engage in activities ranging from hiking to horseback riding au naturel."

From the Lighthouse BlogA Hindu Yogi Speaks: “There is no Christian Yoga.”: " We posted the following article in 2007. It is written by Yogi Baba Prem, who is a Hindu Yogi, a Vedavisharada trained in the traditional gurukural system. Because Yoga is growing in popularity among Christians today, we decided to post this again. We hope that Christians who are considering Yoga will read this. And please read our own research and articles (see links below)."

Fish With Trish: "As I travel with the Living Waters team and other ambassadors in the ministry of the gospel, I have seen an encouraging increase in the number of women engaged in evangelism.

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."

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.”"
