Power Point, with Jack Graham - Powerpoint - May 20, 2011 - Christian Devotional

Power Point, with Jack Graham - Powerpoint - May 20, 2011 - Christian Devotional: "If you go to any church this Sunday, stand up in front of the congregation, and ask, “Who here wants to do the will of God?” you’d probably see most of the people raise their hands. But if instead you asked, “Who here knows how to find the will of God?” you probably would see a lot fewer hands go up! There’s so much ambiguity among believers when it comes to knowing God’s will. But there are three ways I believe God reveals his will to his people."

Benevolent. | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "Be continually benevolent. Look at what Jesus said on the subject in Matt. 5:42 and Acts 20:35. The way to an unbeliever’s heart is often through his mouth. The gift of a hamburger many speak much louder of your love than a powerful sermon in a deaf ear."

Should we try to number converts? | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence

Should we try to number converts? | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "There is always a temptation to track numbers when it comes to evangelism. It is wise not to do so, because only God knows those who are truly repentant. It is amazing how many evangelists and preachers seem to have access to the Book of Life by citing salvation statistics, but such numbering reveals a lack of understanding of the nature of true and false conversion."

While there are many things we would like to know about Jesus as a young boy and as a teenager, this is all we are given."

Is it wrong to be angry with God?

Is it wrong to be angry with God?: "Answer: Being angry at God is something that many people, both believers and unbelievers, have wrestled with throughout time. When something tragic happens in our lives, we ask God the question, “Why?” because it is our natural response. What we are really asking Him, though, is not so much “Why, God?” as “Why me, God?”"

Was Jesus ever angry?

Was Jesus ever angry?: "Answer: When Jesus cleared the temple of the moneychangers and animal-sellers, He showed great emotion and anger (Matthew 21:12-13; Mark 11:15-18; John 2:13-22). Jesus’ emotion was described as “zeal” for God’s house (John 2:17). His anger was pure and completely justified because at its root was concern for God’s holiness and worship. Because these were at stake, Jesus took quick and decisive action. Another time Jesus showed anger was in the synagogue of Capernaum. When the Pharisees refused to answer Jesus’ questions, “He looked around at them in anger, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts” (Mark 3:5)."

What does the Bible say about anger?

What does the Bible say about anger?: "Answer: Handling anger is an important topic. Christian counselors report that 50 percent of people who come in for counseling have problems dealing with anger. Anger can shatter communication and tear apart relationships, and it ruins both the joy and health of many. Sadly, people tend to justify their anger instead of accepting responsibility for it. Everyone struggles, to varying degrees, with anger. Thankfully, God’s Word contains principles regarding how to handle anger in a godly manner, and how to overcome sinful anger."

In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley - In Touch - Jan. 11, 2012 - Christian Devotional: "There is a common misconception that believers should be perfect. Pretending to have our lives in order, many of us wear happy faces and speak words that sound acceptable. At times we’re ashamed to admit our shortcomings, as if they should not exist. Salvation through Jesus, however, doesn’t change the fact that sin is present in our life. When we’re born again, God forgives us and sees us as righteous. Yet our battle with sin continues till we arrive in heaven."

Sanctioning genocide? | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence

Sanctioning genocide? | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "God instructed Israel to put these people to death (see Deut. 20:16–18). Skeptics often accuse God of sanctioning genocide. However, if God treated any of us according to our sins, we would not only be put to death (see Rom. 6:23), we would be justly condemned to hell. All of God’s judgments are true and righteous altogether (see Psa. 19:9). None of them are unjust, including this instruction to Israel."

Let love be your motive | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "Continually check the spirit in which you preach. Be careful of sarcasm, condescension, or a self-righteous spirit. It’s easy to react in a sinful manner when people call you names, cuss at you, say things that aren’t true, talk over you, and twist your words. The key is to always let love be your motivation. We don’t like rejection or humiliation, and it’s only the love of God in us that can give us the grace to handle such things."
