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."

3 Ways Every Christian Can Minister to a Non-Believer - Christian Blog - Christian Blog: "Christ left His followers with one key message: To go to all nations and make disciples — baptizing them in the name of the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit. 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.

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Fools insist...

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Fools insist...: "“Does it grieve you, my friends, that the name of God is being taken in vain and desecrated? Does it grieve you that we are living in a godless age? ...But, we are living in such an age and the main reason we should be praying about revival is that we are anxious to see God's name vindicated and His glory manifested. We should be anxious to see something happening that will arrest the nations, all the peoples, and cause them to stop and to think again.” - Martyn Lloyd-Jones"
