Why Does the Truth [Bible, Scripture] Offend? Truth is Exclusive / Absolute
(400 Reads)
|
|
|
There is a false belief held by some Christians, sort of a Christian myth, that if you are a good Christian you will not offend anyone. In fact, a Christian who offends people is sometimes considered to be just one more arrogant, insensitive, narrow-minded Christian, because it is thought that “true” Christians are sensitive and considerate, and never offend anyone.

All Christians are full time ministers of the Gospel of Christ. Eph. 4:7, 11, 12

In our May/June 2008 issue of The Sower we focused upon the monumental event recorded in Acts 2 when, on the Jewish holiday of Pentecost, the Christian Church, the Body of Christ on earth, was born. None of the “about 120” who first received the gift of holy spirit that morning, or the “about 3000” who believed Peter’s subsequent message and were born again shortly thereafter, understood the earth-shaking significance of that day. None realized that they were the first members of a theretofore undreamed of group of people unlike any who had ever lived.

I used to think that to “evangelize” was to bring a person from being an unbeliever to being a committed Christian. Thankfully, it is not. To evangelize is to tell the Good News, which can be done in many different ways. It is to lead others in the direction of Christ. Many times this task does not seem so simple to those of us who are committed Christians. Fear, past experiences, lack of focus, and some other things, often derail this important part of one’s faithful walk with Christ...

How [what does it mean] to be a witness of Jesus Christ the Lord, examples
(1835 Reads)
|
|
|
|
The very last thing Jesus said before he ascended into heaven to sit at God’s right hand is that we would receive power through the gift of holy spirit and that we are to be his witnesses. These were his parting words to us all! I’d say that’s pretty significant. A witness is one who can confirm a truth because he has direct knowledge of it. Jesus is telling us that we are to confirm, testify to the world the truth of who he is...

2 Corinthians 5:18,19 More Than Ambassadors: Reconciling People to God

|
As Christians, we have the wonderful privilege of telling unsaved people about the bountiful blessings of salvation through Christ. Call it “witnessing,” call it “sharing your faith,” the point is that you open a discussion about Jesus Christ with people who do not believe in him. And we must understand that doing so is a genuine expression of godly love toward another person. Today...

How would you like to have been among those believers who saw, heard, and touched the resurrected Jesus?! I guess that would be “convincing,” or as the KJV reads, “infallible” proof. Many of the above people, who shortly thereafter became the first Christians, literally gave their lives for the Lord, being martyred for refusing to compromise their faith. And guess what? You and I are asked by God to have the same degree of certainty about the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the same level of commitment to live for him...

It is too often the case that good-hearted, loving Christians, seeking to obey Jesus’ command to “…Go into the world and preach the good news to all creation” (Mark 16:15b), are hindered by the fear of failure. None of us like to feel rejected or turned down, and it is easy to feel discouraged if we base our success on the number of people we “convert.” When we don’t understand what our responsibility...

Acts 8:26-39 is the record of Philip, a first century Christian who was led by an angel of the Lord into the middle of nowhere. It was only when he got there that the holy spirit led him to the place where he could talk to an Ethiopian eunuch. This brief but powerful encounter contains a number of outreach principles we can learn and apply as we too share the Word of Life with people...

[The following article is an edited transcription of our Jul / Aug 1995 teaching, “Stretching for the Lord” by John A. Lynn.]
It is very important that God asks you to stretch because that will make your stretch a stretch of faith. We do not want to make up our own stretching exercises because we are liable to pull something. We only want to stretch as God asks us to stretch. What is the biblical definition of faith? Faith is simply trust, and it is trust in the Word of God. When God asks us to do something, we stretch our faith to respond...

[The following article is an edited transcription of our March / April 2001 audio teaching by John W. Schoenheit, Reaching Out with the Love of God Or Christianity: The Come as You Are Party.]
Sometimes as Christians we forget, especially when we are older Christians and have been in the faith a little longer. We exercise our senses to discern good from evil. We get so sharp on what is right and what is wrong. We see things that are wrong in other people’s lives, and it is so easy to go up and tell them...

Bible study: What is an Evangelist [evangelizo, evangelion, evangelistes]?

What is an evangelist? That’s a good question, because you might be one. And if you are called (even if it was long ago) to such a function in the Body of Christ, surely you want to fulfill that calling and maximize your potential for the one who fulfilled his calling and died for you. Our risen Lord Jesus was the Evangelist, as he was the Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, and Teacher, that is, he vividly exemplified each of these functions, and that is why he is now most capable...

It certainly is possible to have the truth and be contentious about it. I have at times certainly been that way in my zeal for what I have believed to be the truth. In fact, I have learned much in the past few years about maintaining my convictions while lovingly engaging in dialogue with contentious people. It is my experience, however, that those who oppose the truth...

[This article is an edited transcription of our March 2006 Tape / CD of the Month, The Balance of Truth and Love: Valuing Right Doctrine and Right Relationships by John Schoenheit.]
I think all of us know that we are supposed to be loving. We know we are supposed to be kind to people. Why is it when we settle upon something that we believe and say, “This is what I believe; this is the truth,” that it is so hard for us to be truly kind and compassionate and loving to others and have friends that do not believe like us? I think it has to do with...

Free online booklet: How do I get Saved [Born Again]? / What is Salvation?
(2984 Reads)
|
|
|
|
Biblically, a Christian is someone who is “saved.” This is also known as being “born again.” At your first birth—when you were born into this world--you were born with a sin nature. This is a major reason why people sin. When you confess Christ as Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead, you become a Christian, i.e., you get “born again” and become a member of the family of God.

Why Be Born Again? 1 Corinthians 15:21, 22 In Adam all die, in Christ all live

Each and every Christian receives the gift of holy spirit at the moment of his new birth. It is not something he gets later. It is not something he somehow “earns,” “prays for,” or that is given when he is “spiritually qualified.”
