Why should we study the Old Testament?

Why should we study the Old Testament?: "The Bible is a progressive revelation. If you skip the first half of any good book and try to finish it; you will have a hard time understanding the characters, the plot, and the ending. In the same way, the New Testament is only completely understood when it is seen as being built upon the foundation of the events, characters, laws, sacrificial system, covenants, and promises of the Old Testament."

In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley - In Touch - Aug. 4, 2010 - Christian Devotional: "Christians tend to categorize sins, rating some as small and inconsequential, but others as huge and far-reaching in the damage they cause.

How to evengelize

How to evengelize: "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."

Prime Lenses: Pros and Cons – PictureCorrect

Prime Lenses: Pros and Cons – PictureCorrect: "Standard Zoom: These are the most common type of lenses and practically all the kit lenses bundled with cameras fall in this category. The most popular being 18mm-55mm lens, which is good for general purpose photography and is commonly used by amateurs and first time photographers. A few years ago, the quality of these lenses was not good enough and earned a bad name for their manufacturers, realizing this the camera makers started bundling much better versions that gave very decent results."
