Stone the Preacher
Stone the Preacher: "In American culture too many people have admired the slapstick humor of The Three Stooges. These bumbling knuckleheads have promoted great guffaws among the populace with their illogical antics and silly pratfalls; their inane arguments and solutions to difficult situations have elicited great gasps of mass hilarity."
Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog
Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog: "He is right. These people will owe us an apology...then again, if they are right, I will gladly apologize to them. The Bible says 'But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only' (Matthew 24:36)."

Fish With Trish
Fish With Trish: "The below is from Ray Comfort today about something interesting that happened while we were in Israel filming for The Way of the Master Season 5. This was one of many incredible things that took place on our trip. I thought you all would enjoy reading this portion from his newsletter. Our God is huge and there are no coincidences with Him (left: Cana, Israel)."
Harvest Daily Devotion for 5/17/2011: "Storms that Protect"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 5/17/2011: "Storms that Protect": "Sometimes a storm will come into our lives that is protecting us from something worse. This is hard for us to wrap our minds around. Is it possible that a hardship ever could be better than a success? Sometimes it can, because there are things we learn that we would not have learned otherwise."

On The Box
On The Box: "One of the most moving stops during my tour of Israel was our visit to Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust Museum and Memorial. Yad Vashem is Hebrew for 'a place and a name,' and is taken from Isaiah 56:5. The national museum and memorial is a place of remembrance of not only the Holocaust itself, but also a place where visitors can meet the people who suffered and died during this world tragedy."
Stone the Preacher
Stone the Preacher: "From the looks of things it seems I’m wasting my time preaching to wildly frenetic, whirling dervishy, hip-hoppy-happy Hari Krishas who were not paying any attention whatsoever to my one minute message"
Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog
Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog: "Have you heard of Tadmor Prison? Do you know if it exists or where it is located? If you don't know anything about it, should you therefore say that someone who maintains it is real, is dishonest? Of course not."
Harvest Daily Devotion for 5/16/2011: "Storms that Perfect"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 5/16/2011: "Storms that Perfect": "Some storms in our lives are not the result of our disobedience to God; they are the result of our obedience to Him. A good example of this is Job. What was Job doing wrong when all of those calamities befell him? Nothing."

Does hell really exist?
Does hell really exist?: "There has been a lot of talk lately about the existence of hell and if it is really forever. In a recently written book by Michigan mega church pastor Rob Bell, Bell states that if hell exists, it can't be for eternity. He says that in the end, after death, everyone will have another chance to follow Christ and they will take it and repent, and in the end Everyone will end up in heaven. This kind of false teaching is foolish and extremely dangerous."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 5/13/2011: "Storms that Correct"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 5/13/2011: "Storms that Correct": "Storms will come in life in the form of a hardship or crisis or even tragedy. There will be times when we can anticipate the storm, when we see the clouds start to darken and hear the thunder in the distance. At other times, a storm will arrive unexpectedly. But there is no getting around the fact that we will go through storms."

On The Box
On The Box: "Our first stop of the day was our worst stop of the day. Frankly, it was the worst stop of the entire trip. It was our trip to what is called the Dome of the Rock. The Dome of the Rock, which is a shrine and not a mosque, represents the Islamic desecration of God's Holy Hill--the Temple Mount (Mount Moriah) and the former site of the three Jewish temples--the Solomonic, the Second, and the Herodian."
Is Hell Really Endless?
Is Hell Really Endless?: "One view of hell that seems to be making a strong resurgence today among evangelicals is Annihilationism. There are slight variations, but it essentially teaches God will eventually snuff every unbeliever out of existence. Some Annihilationists make room for divine wrath, but they don’t allow it to extend beyond the lake of fire."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 5/9/2011: "Using God": "Sometimes people will attempt to use God for personal gain. They will invoke the name of Jesus Christ when they need something from people who believe in Him."

On The Box: The Tragedy of the Valley of Jehoshaphat: "Jesus spent forty days with His disciples and others, after His resurrection. The last day He was with them, the disciples asked Him when He would restore the Kingdom of Israel. He reminded them that only the Father knows the time of the Lord's return. But He also comforted them by assuring them that the Helper, the Holy Spirit, would come upon them and they would be His witnesses to the uttermost parts of the Earth (Acts 1:4-8)."

Harvest Weekend Devotion for 5/7/2011: "Long Lines": "When I am at the supermarket, I will even go to the 12-items-or-less line, so I don't have to wait. The problem is that I usually need to get more than 12 items, but I do it anyway, just so I don't have to wait in another line!"

Why forgive?
Why forgive?: "It has been said that we are most like beasts when we kill, we are most like men when we judge, but we are most like God when we forgive.
We don't do a lot of forgiving today. It may have been a while since you last saw a movie that celebrated forgiveness. But you probably have seen quite a few that celebrated vengeance and payback. Our culture doesn't like to forgive. We just get mad. And more than getting mad, we like to get even."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 5/6/2011: "Our Generous God": "The amazing thing in the story about the Feeding of the Five Thousand is how the miracle was done. God could have done it any way He wanted. It could have rained bread from heaven. But He did it through natural means. The supernatural worked through the natural."

A Continuing Requirement - Online Bible Study Tools
A Continuing Requirement - Online Bible Study Tools: "The story of Jonah shows us that the gospel—the good news that God relentlessly pursues sinners in order to rescue them—is just as much for Christians as it is for non-Christians. Jonah's life proves this, because Jonah, who knows God, obviously needs divine deliverance as much as anyone else in the story."

Will everyone (eventually) make it to heaven? Jesus didn’t think so.: "Rob’s book constantly casts doubt on the notion that there is a hell that will be full of people suffering for eternity. Others have cast doubt on that by speaking of anihilationtsm, where people’s suffering is not eternal, but the consequences are. With that view the unsaved pass out of existence at some point in the future."
