Rob Bell’s Unbelief in His own Words
Rob Bell’s Unbelief in His own Words: "Rob Bell’s denial of eternal punishment goes hand in hand with a warped view of the gospel. No wonder. Each error fuels and exacerbates the other. Eliminate every hint of punishment for sin; ignore the wrath of an offended deity; dismiss the demands of divine justice, and you abolish any need for the gospel."
StreetApologetics
StreetApologetics: "Often times in street evangelism it is forgotten to make much of the Person Jesus Christ. We take the time to work through the commandments and correctly articulate the justice and judgment that sin calls for but; we forget to emphasize the nature and character of Jesus Christ."
Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog
Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog: "There are just 31 verses in Genesis chapter one, but in it we see an explanation for the cosmos, and for this amazing earth. So over the next week or so, we will look at what many call 'an ancient fairytale bronze-age book,' and see if it can hold up to rational scrutiny."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/18/2011: "Easter Brings Hope": "Easter is not about brightly colored eggs, wearing pastels, or enjoying a big meal, although it could include these. Easter is about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ."

Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog: "No doubt you have seen the popular YouTube clip 'Why Richard Dawkins Doesn't Debate Creationists.' I guess he changed his mind and decided that he would debate a woman, probably thinking he would chew her up and spit her out."
Harvest Weekend Devotion for 4/16/2011: "What Breaks God's Heart"
Harvest Weekend Devotion for 4/16/2011: "What Breaks God's Heart": "As Jesus made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the crowds were celebrating. They were laughing. They were cheering. They were having a great time. And what was Jesus doing? He saw the city, and He wept over it. Here was the crowd, whipped into a frenzy, and Jesus was weeping. The crowd was rejoicing, and Christ was sobbing."

Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog: "There are 11 million people in greater Los Angeles, and the entire country has over 300 million. That's a whole lot of people, so I was pleased to do a one-hour interview on a national talk show—because it was broadcast out of Chicago and reached right across the nation."

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"

Lin Lin was especially proud of their pursuit to achieve Nirvana; the state of mind where true inner peace is achieved by freeing oneself from all worldly obsessions and fixations."

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)."
