You a Doormat?"
What does it really mean to be
"meek"?
The world says it means
weak.
Some Christians say it
is strength under control.
But there is more to it
than that.
This article offers one
of the most selfless examples
of Christian deportment by a
great man of faith.

"The
Art of God"
God is the original artist,
having created all that now
exists. Made in his
image, we are a type of
self-portrait of God. Do
people see the one who is
altogether lovely in us?

"Atheism
at Its Worst"
Christianity is put on trial
by a well=known atheist.
Could it be that atheism
serves society better than
Christianity? A poignant
look at atheism at its worst.

"Bearing
False Witness Against God"
The ignorant comments of a
popular radio talk show host,
where she blames God for evil,
reflects an attitude that is
found even among
Christians. Believers
need to guard themselves from
falling into such an
attitudinal rut.

"Believers
Die Well"
This
is one of most potent stories
of martyrdom in human history.
The death of this great saint
was prophesied in scripture
and occurred just as the Bible
said it would. The strength
and power of this one man's
testimony should instill
courage in every Christian
heart.

"Darwin
Applauds Christianity"
While Charles Darwin certainly
deserves the discredit for
promoting evolution theory, he
does not wholly deserve the
blame for the damage this
theory has done as it itself
has "evolved".
Darwin made some comparisons
between evolution and
Christianity that will shock
both evolutionist and
creationists alike.

"Difficult
Passages of the Bible"
Why is it that believers shy
away from difficult passages
in scripture? Even the most
popular commentaries seem to
skip over them. The Bible says
that some scripture is
"hard to be
understood", but by
growing in grace we can come
to an place of understanding.

"Don't
Forget to Remember to
Forget"
Following God's example, the
Christian should learn to add
forgetfulness to forgiveness.
In a day when we are
all worried about Alzheimer's
disease, with science
frantically searching for a
cure, there are actually times
when believers should
intentionally seek memory
loss.

"Eve,
Setting the Record Straight"
Is it right that Eve gets
all the blame for what happened
in the Garden of Eden?
A refreshing look at the
facts.

"
'Eye' Think You Should Read
This"
If
you are a Christian and think
that your life is
insignificant or that you do
not impact on the lives of
others, you are deceiving
yourself. Because Christ is in
your life and you have
associated with him in a
public way, the eyes of many
are upon you.

"The
Example of Pat Tillman"
How the life and
devotion of a confessed
atheist should resonate with
believers.
Throughout scripture
God often used unregenerate
people to accomplish his
purposes or to set examples
for his children to follow.
There are great
unbelieving men and women
whose example can speak to the
heart of a Christian to the
glory of God.

"Food
Stamps From God"
There are many stories of
God's provision and
providential intervention into
the lives of his saints.
This is just one, but
it is a wonderful story of how
faithfulness does not go
unnoticed or unrewarded by our
Father.

"How
to Fool God"
With no disrespect intended
toward the Lord in the title,
this article focuses on the
all too common ailment of
believers to "play
church".
We can't actually fool
God, but that doesn't keep us
from trying.
This article includes
an excellent story to use in
children Sunday School
applications.

"How
to Have Joy Though Unhappy"
Words mean things.
Sometimes we mix up their
meanings and do not convey the
right message to others.
Sometimes it is not a problem,
but from a scriptural
standpoint, the words might
actually impede the spiritual
growth and understanding of a
believer.

"How
Will You Be Remembered"
Some think Bible knowledge is
important, and it is.
Others think service to the
Lord is important, and it
is. But there is
something more important than
these to be remembered for.

"The
King James Version, Inspired or
Not"
If you put two Christians
together they will find
something to argue about in
short order.
The topic of
"inspiration" is no
exception as many vehement
arguments have occurred.
It appears the root of
the conflict is a
misunderstanding of the words
"inspiration" and
"preservation".

"The
Lord is His Pastor"
A
moving story of how a Pastor
set the perfect example for
his flock.
Anyone who claims to be
a "follower" of
Christ needs to compare
themselves to this man.

"The
Miraculous Mirror Box"
The theory behind one of the
most extraordinary therapeutic
ideas in psychology can be
applied by a believer to their
own life to draw them closer
to the Lord. Too many
Christians live frustrated
spiritual lives because they
simply cannot see themselves
the way the Lord wants them to
be.

"Not
Giving the Devil His Due"
Worldly cliches are tiresome
and vexing to the soul.
One of the most
outrageous to this writer is
"Give the Devil His
Due".
I have never understood
the intent behind that
statement, but it does make
the meaning of the Apostle
Paul's words much clearer in
his letter to the Ephesians,
where he writes "Neither
give place to the Devil."

"Religion
Without Faith"
A new religion is sweeping the
world.
It is a faithless
religion.
New age Christianity is
nothing more than secular
progressivism in disguise.
Every believer, every
church, should take heed of
the apostasy that is growing
in the name of religion.
The slippery slope that
Spurgeon said the church was
on has come to fruition and is
now nearing the bottom of that
slope.

"A
Sailor's Craft"
Ride along with a Christian
sailor who allows his pride to
endanger his life and the
lives of others.
A true life story.

"The
Tears of God"
There are difficult things
to understand in the
Bible. Some are major
doctrinal issues, while others
are not quite as essential to
the faith. In truth,
what appear to be difficulties
or contradictions, are more a
lack of understanding by the
reader. Difficulties and
contradictions disappear when
one studies out a topic to its
fullest. However, there
are oddities in the Bible -
things that just seem to have
no explanation. One such
passage is found in John
chapter 11, where the Lord
Jesus wept. This article
should remove any cloud of
understanding.

"The
Ten Suggestions of God
"
This
is a very reverent look at the
practicality of the Ten
Commandments and how they are
more than just rules for
righteous living.
God's intent was more
than just issuing edicts for
us to follow.
His purpose was to show
us how to enjoy our lives with
promise.

What
on Earth is God Doing - to the
christian side
"What
on Earth is God Doing?"
Who hasn't wondered why God
sometimes does not answer our
prayers? Is he listening? Does
he care? Is there some trick
to getting his attention?

"What
Spirit Am I Listening To?
Young
Christians are often left to
learn the basics of the faith
through osmosis rather than
being guided by more
experienced and knowledgeable
saints. For someone new to the
faith, discerning truth and
error can me an almost
insurmountable task. This
quick-reference guide is
offered to assist young
converts in understanding that
there are two spirits at work
in our world and to discern
the difference.

"When
the Clouds Turn to Dust"
Many Christians buy into
secular philosophy without
even knowing they have done
so. They forget that the enemy
is clever, deceitful ad above
all, subtle. If we focus on
the greatness of God, many of
the vain deceits of the world
will not impact upon us.

"You
Only Have Days to Live"
Christians
only have "days" to
live on this earth and they
should use those days wisely
to serve the Lord.
This article provokes a
more sobering view of life and
how we should use our time.

"You
Won't See This One Coming"
A different slant on the
conservative vs. liberal
issue. Too often we Christians
think that politics and
legislation is the way to
reform. While much can be
accomplished with good and
moral laws on the books, it
takes more to effect social
change.
