HOW CHRISTIANITY MADE AMERICA WHAT IT WAS | Citizen Tom: "Does a Conservative have to be a Christian? No. Does an American have to believe that America is a Christian nation? No. But if one understands the importance of the contributions that Bible-believing Christians made to America, it is easier to be a Conservative Republican who loves America."

America: What Has Gone Wrong?

America: What Has Gone Wrong?: "What has gone wrong with America? A land blessed with some of the greatest natural resources the Creator bestowed on any country, now appears to be in an economic tailspin. A country once with the greatest civil government, second only to the Hebrew Republic, has plunged into a form of tyranny and police state that is truly jarring. A country which was once a beacon to the world, a city on the Hill exemplifying the moral influence for the world to follow is now the den of thieves, murders and perverts, indeed, one of the most unsafe places on earth."

Should Christians Practice Yoga? - Hank Hanegraaff, Christianity.com Blogs

Should Christians Practice Yoga? - Hank Hanegraaff, Christianity.com Blogs: "Since Swami Vivekananda first introduced yoga to the West more than a hundred years ago, yoga has become as American as apple pie. According to the Columbia Journalism Review, Everybody loves yoga; sixteen and a half million Americans practice it regularly, and twenty-five million more say they will try it this year. If you’ve been awake and breathing air in the twenty-first century, you already know that this Hindu practice of health and spirituality has long ago moved on from the toe-ring set. Yoga is American; it has graced the cover of Time twice, acquired the approval of A-list celebrities like Madonna, Sting, and Jennifer Aniston, and is still the go-to trend story for editors and reporters, who produce an average of eight yoga stories a day in the English-speaking world. Consumers drop $3 billion every year on yoga classes, books, videos, CDs, DVDs, mats, clothing, and other necessities."

Paul’s Importance in Early Christianity? « Christianity in Antiquity (CIA): The Bart Ehrman Blog

Paul’s Importance in Early Christianity? « Christianity in Antiquity (CIA): The Bart Ehrman Blog: "’d like to say a bit more about Paul in relationship to the beginning of Christianity.  Yesterday I argued that Paul could not have invented the idea of the resurrection.   I should point out that Paul himself – who was always proud of the “revelation” of the truth given to him and his part in disseminating it (see Galatians 1-2) – admits in 1 Cor. 15:3-5 that he “received” from others the view that Christ died for sins and rose from the dead, before appearing “first” to Cephas and then others."

Approaching non-believers and making an appeal to them comes with a number of challenges. Some can be very hostile, indifferent, and difficult to convince. In order to effectively minister to a non-believer, one has to adequately strategize."

How to share Jesus with all who need to know him: "There are 2 main reasons why all Christians need to embrace evangelism. The first is Jesus told his disciples, which we all are if we are followers of Jesus, to go out and and make disciples of everyone else. The second reason is we don't want anyone to spend eternity in hell because they didn't understand why they need Jesus, and what they need to do to avoid going to hell."

But should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation, while it is practising iniquity and extravagance, and displays in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candour, frankness, and sincerity, while it is rioting in rapine and insolence, this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world.
