How Much Do Americans Know About Christmas?: "When I was kid a long, long, long time ago in a state far, far, far away, everyone knew that Christmas was the celebration of the birth of Jesus.  Yes, we had Santa and presents and a tree, but the main focus was still on Christ."

Who Wrote Mark?

Who Wrote Mark?: "One of the things the atheists like to destroy is the New Testament. Without anything positive to offer themselves, they feel obliged to de-construct the authority of the New Testament if they can. A favorite way to do this is to try to show that the New Testament is a much edited, late cut and paste job by people unknown which has very little to do with the historical Jesus."

TGC Mobile | Article | God Is Working Behind the Scenes in Greece

TGC Mobile | Article | God Is Working Behind the Scenes in Greece: "The dull whine of the motorbike's engine was the only sound that marred an otherwise pristine setting. Though off-season for the Greek island of Aegina, this October day offered everything the throngs of tourists sought on their holiday only a few months earlier. The sun sparkled off the clear water of the Aegean, the Mediterranean breeze was light and wispy, and the temperature was such that you never noticed it. My friend Jim and I had rented motorbikes from an Albanian man who offered the best price on the island, even if they did sputter a bit. We jumped on the island's main road that runs along the coast and took in the views. Eventually we began winding up one of the many mountains toward what is said to be the jewel in the crown of Aegina---the Temple of Aphaea. We rounded the final bend, parked the bikes, and climbed up the hill towards the temple."

Nothing good | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "Without grace all men are of this kind, but especially the self-righteous. Hence Scripture says and concludes: ’All men are liars’ (Ps 116:11); and again (Ps 39:5) ’Every man at his best state is altogether vanity’; and (Ps 14:3) ’There is none that does good, no, not one.’ But despair follows when a man becomes aware of the reason why he is keeping the Law and recognizes that to love God’s Law is impossible for him, since he finds nothing good in himself but only hatred of the good and lust for the bad."

Ray Comfort

Ray Comfort: "Many of us were disappointed recently because we had our hopes in a political solution to save America. But our problems are deeper than political. America needs a change of heart that only the gospel of Jesus Christ can bring about. Politics shakes the branches, but the gospel takes an axe to the root of the tree. In the past the message of everlasting life has been taken by missionaries into this world, often at great personal hardship (and even loss of life)."

Why the Lost Gospels Did Not Make the Canonical Cut

Why the Lost Gospels Did Not Make the Canonical Cut: "The rejection of “other” Gospels by the proto-orthodox and orthodox church was neither arbitrary nor merely political. The reasons for rejecting them were cogent and compelling. Among the main criticisms lifted against the “other” Gospels and their authors is that: (1) The “Jesus” they set forth is not recognizable as the Jesus known in other sacred writings or congruent with apostolic tradition; (2) The “other” Gospels are often esoteric, elitist, and erroneous in what they affirm about God, creation, sin, holiness, ethics, and redemption; and (3) They do not properly have origins among Jesus’ earliest followers and are late and tendentious."

God was in control and he was not going to let them include the wrong writings in our guidebook.

Or if, confronted with the fact that they believe that nothing created everything, they default to agnosticism, that something did create everything."
