There is very little news of joy when you have to report the repeated murder of Christians around the world. One of the many dangerous countries for Christians is Iraq where there are many intolerant members of Islam who want to see all Christians convert or be put to death. The link below is to just the latest murder and attempt at mass murder. Christians are not safe in many countries in the middle east and northern Africa. They are seeing decreased rights in the U.S., where their public recognition of Jesus or God is being restricted to the levels of communist countries. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/12/30/gunmen-target-christian-homes-iraq-killed/?test=latestnews#

What if I am right? A prayer that will change you
It might be helpful, to those of you who visit this site, to update it more than every two months. You might be here looking for some inspiration or guidance. Maybe you’re already a born-again believer and you just like to read about Jesus. Maybe, you’re not sure what you think and you just want to see if anything on this site speaks to you. What if there is a 2% chance that I AM right? Non-believers or those of you reading this post who don’t really care about going to church or initiating a relationship with Jesus should know something. If you don’t believe that having a relationship with Christ is important and you think that people just die and that’s it, I have a suggestion for you. If …

Mel Gibson, what are you doing?
One of the most prolific Christian movies of the past twenty years was The Passion of the Christ. Evangelicals were so excited at the time that a major movie about the life and message of Christ would be seen by millions of “non-believers.” The opportunity to see so many people saved was just too much. Mel Gibson had really outdone himself. Then there was the Mel Gibson post-Passion. What was he thinking? To say that Christians were disappointed would be an understatement. We don’t judge him and we don’t condemn him, but Mel; come on. The information about Mel Gibson in recent months is just more fuel on the fire for the anti-Christian movement. They can boast that here is the man who produced a Christian movie about Jesus and …
Catholic Bishop Murdered in Turkey
Another Christian victim murdered in Turkey, a country hostile to Christians. Most likely in retaliation for the incident with Israel and Turkey. The Turkish governments’ explanation does not sound plausible. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/06/03/catholic-bishop-reportedly-stabbed-death-southern-turkey/?test=latestnews
God can handle Your Biggest Problems
I found the information below on Evangelist Steve Hill’s website. What a great message to think about. God is so vast, so big, so awesome, that your biggest problems are small in comparison. For that reason, you should trust that God can handle them with ease. Read what Steve Hill says about this and who he quotes: How many of us take the time to stop and think about the big-ness of God? Is there any problem or circumstance larger than the Maker of the universe? Robert South, theologian from the 1600’s once wrote on this subject: “We have a very lame and imperfect conception of our great God. And the reason is very clear. We are forced to understand that which is infinite, after a finite manner. Simply put: one …
Christian University Students Attacked in Iraq
100 Christian university students were injured and one killed by two bombs that exploded just minutes apart. Sunni Muslims have been behind most similar attacks in recent years. Seventeen of the injuries resulted in hospitalized victims in serious condition. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/05/02/bombs-target-buses-carrying-christian-university-students-iraq-killing/?test=latestnews
Most Americans know Christ is Alive
Rasmussen polling found that a majority of Americans believe that Christ rose from the grave……….that He was resurrected. That’s good news. 78% believed that He rose again. The only bad news is that the other 22% either don’t believe in the reason for Easter or aren’t sure. The only path to Heaven is to be sure. Commit yourself to accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Read the whole Rasmussen report here: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/lifestyle/holidays/april_2010/78_think_jesus_christ_rose_from_the_dead
Christ Died For You
Did you know that more than 500 people witnessed Christ after the resurrection? Writers from other religions, at the time, wrote about His resurrection. It was not just the four Apostles in the New Testament who were witnesses to the miracles they wrote about. There is contemporary evidence and archeological evidence of both Christ’s time on earth and his supernatural healings and resurrection. Don’t let anyone tell you that the only record of Christ was writings authored many years after He hung on the cross. There was a contemporary recording of the events of his last three years on earth authored by many great writers of the time. There is a growing amount of archeological evidence as well. Rejoice that He conquered death and took the burden of all mankind …
Why do Christians talk about being SAVED?
The Bible actually talks about it A LOT. You have to be saved to go to Heaven. There’s simply no other way. (watch for regular additions) Consider these scriptures: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 29The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” 32Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their …
