  • Forming Light

    "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." (Isa 45:7) Here is something interesting. The Word of God says that He formed light, not created it. Somehow, I always figured that everything was dark, and then God created light. Not so. He IS light. It was already there. Wow, does t...

  • Born in a Stable

    I think I know why Jesus was born in a stable and not in a house.  This is one of the coolest things I’ve come across in a long time and I wanted to share it with my friends. Let me start with John the Baptist.  Zechariah, his father, was of the course of Abia. Now, if you can figure out when the course of Abia ministered in the Tem...

  • Thoughts on Advent (and Christmas)

    December 07th, 201005:28 PM ET
    By Jeff Goins
    We evangelicals don't do a very good job of celebrating Advent, something many mainline denominations and the Catholics have been doing for quite some time now. But recently, I've fallen more in love with the liturgical calendar. I've come to relish the importance of the seasons of Advent and Lent and the symbolism they represent. I love that they...

Read the rest >> Some Christians will begin seeing red just from reading the title of this entry.  They will be angry and annoyed and may even jump up out of their s...

  • Is Christianity About Going to Heaven?

    October 13th, 201011:05 PM ET
    By Jeff Goins
    Lately, I've been hearing people talk a lot about Christianity in terms of dying and going to heaven. It's especially prevalent from the evangelical pulpit. You hear things like, "When we go to heaven..." or "In heaven..." -- phrases that are usually followed by some great human conflict resolved. But I'm struggling with this paradigm. I fail to s...

  • Islam vs. Christianity Comparison

    July 19th, 201012:31 PM ET
    By Michael Youssef
    Allah and God Islam: Allah is distant and unknowable; Allah does not reveal himself to mankind; merciful (forgives at his will). Allah is capricious (both leads and misleads); vengeful (honor restored only by "getting even"); Almighty (emphasis on power) Christianity: God is personal and you can know Him; God revealed Himself in the Incarnation...

  • We Preach Christ

    June 28th, 201010:12 AM ET
    By Michael Youssef
    In these perilous days, the Lord Jesus Christ is separating the sheep from the goats; the wheat from the tare. While these are days of unprecedented opportunity for Gospel ministry and harvest for the Kingdom of God, it is also a time of great attack on the church both from within and without. Compromise and dilution of the pure Gospel of the Lord...

  • Jesus and the Good News about Suffering

    June 18th, 201009:56 AM ET
    By Jeff Goins
    It's about time that we in America were a little more honest -- about life and about our spirituality. Let's face it: life is hard. There are lay-offs and kids with runny noses and sleepless nights and stupid bosses. This should be no surprise to you that times can be tough. No, that's not to say that every day is an insurmountable challenge to o...

  • Christmastime Again

    December 22nd, 200901:05 PM ET
    By Dale Garris
    It's Christmastime again. I can't believe that I've been saved for almost 40 years now and have been able to be part of so many real Christmases. It wasn't always so. As a young man who refused to believe in such nonsense such as a god that I couldn't see, feel, or touch, Christmas remained simply a time of tinsel, pretty lights, Thomas Kincaid ...

  • Convert your temporal money into eternal blessings

    November 30th, 200910:04 AM ET
    By Anthony Horvath
    "You can't take it with you."  That's what we Christians think but I'm not so sure it is strictly true.Do you remember Matthew 6:19-21? Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where theives break in and steal.  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy,...
