51). Pass It On – A Rule For Good Bible Interpretation During the dark ages the scriptures were chained to pedestals in the major cathedrals of the world. The common people could not read the bible and even the clergy were limited to reading it only where it stood. Those days have been eliminated by the courageous efforts of clergy and reformers like Luther, Calvin, Tyndale and a host of others who in ... 52). Pass It On – Sincerity is no Substitute for the Truth I don’t know where this advice originated and I have heard variations of it over the last quarter century. It has a level of common sense to it that can’t be argued against very easily by anyone. It does, however, create a formidable argument against the glibly spoken and oft repeated idea that all religions point to God. In the middl... 53). Presidents Day – Let’s Not Forget to Honor the Big Three Commerce was never meant to be at odds with congress or even juxtaposed with it. But Presidents Day, it seems, like other special holidays has gone the way of all flesh. Even as a boy I remember questioning how the Birth of a Savior could be overtaken by the notion of a fat little benevolent man who comes bearing gifts. How did the celebration of a... 54). Questions That Most People Ask about the Second Coming of Christ In this article and the next few following, I will offer a general compilation of the most often asked questions asked of me over the years, and hopefully some sensible answers. Some answers will have solid scriptural support while others my just appeal to reason and good sense. You could get some answers by punching up your questions... 55). Thanksgiving - What Were the Pilgrims Thankful For? In boyhood I was satisfied to use my imagination to envision just how the Pilgrims set their feet on the Old Plymouth Rock. It began to take on an aura of the mystical and heroic to me, but I was far from the first person to be caught into these feelings. As far back as 1835, Mr. Alexis DeJocqueville spoke of the rocks ethereal qualities with far m... 56). The Amazing Destructive Power of Tradition Tradition and culture are revered around the world. We create traditions then we carry them through over the years blindly. If our traditions last lon 57). The Bible – Are Some of its Words More Important Than Others Is every word of the Bible equally important? Are the words of Moses or the Ten Commandments equal to the words of Christ or the Apostles? The answer 58). The Gospel According to the Americans - Our Shame It seems the writer of the declaration of independence was not satisfied with the writers of the New Testament. Thomas Jefferson methodically cut out 59). The Internet Right – Are They Doing It Right Viewing things as a whole it would seem that the internet right is providing some powerful contributions that the rest of the media right can’t provi 60). The Keys to Success – Who Really Has Them From movie stars to gospel singers the race is on to tell the world how to succeed by using the keys, the secrets or principles these people found in life. Usually these keys are purported to be the only way they or anyone else will ever succeed. Seven keys to financial wealth, the twelve keys to a more powerful life or the three keys to a more pea... 61). The Moon: One Small Step For Man - One Giant Bill For America Going to the moon again is causing far more controversy today than it could have back in the sixties. Some Americans doubt we can afford it and others are not sure they have seen the “giant leap for mankind” that the first moon shot promised. It depends on who you ask but don’t dare ask me. I didn’t think the first moon landing had much significanc... 62). The Most Dangerous Place in the World – Right Here In America To answer this great scourge of death with the bible is to begin with the premise that everyone believes that the bible has something to say about it and that it is authoritative. For those who have put the bible on the shelf with literature, simple narrative, history or fiction this premise is futile. Others who think the bible is a book of nice l... 63). The Sign of Signs - Who is That Fool on the Corner with the Sign about the End of the World? The Pope it is said condemned the use of the cross bow when it was first introduced. He apparently thought it could be the demise of the whole world because it was so deadly. When cannons were first invented some thought that marked the end of the world. Now we have a weapon that could bring an end to all life on the planet, the hydrogen bomb, and ... 64). Trinity of Truth – How to Stay off The Merry Go Round of Speculation about the Second Coming of Christ The conservative approach to God and his word has a kind of trinity of truth at the heart of its doctrine. All three parts of this trinity come from the Bible but together they are what can assure us that we have found a true biblical conservatism. It is not always a failsafe and at times may still produce some controversy among the believers, but ... 65). Truth, Justice and the American Way to Boil a Frog Society and culture have changed in America just like our institutions. Harvard and Princeton for instance were originally founded as Christian schoo 66). TV Evangelist Pat Robertson and Muhammad – Do They Think Alike One group of people is sailing up a roller coaster ride of emotional rises, falls twists and turns driven by daily news flashes and bits of the latest gab from around the globe. The other group spends the time to get the history or the background of a matter and through some open minded consideration and comparison, often arrive at a more balanced ... 67). Twenty First Century Lies – The Slaughtering of Accountability A boy went flying down the staircase from his room and after finding his mother busy in the kitchen he blurted out a question with great earnest and urgency. Mother he said…is it true what the preacher says at funerals about us when he says we are going from ashes to ashes and dust to dust? His mother pondered the question for a moment and replied…... 68). UFOs - What is The Christian View of Them? To deal with the subject of UFOs I have taught people for over thirty years to ask three very important questions. Almost everyone Christian or not has asked questions regarding UFOs. What I noticed years ago was that unbelievers only asked two of the three questions. Believers are compelled by the scripture itself to ask all three questions. It is... 69). Using The Negative in a Positive Way – God Does it all the T So much hullabaloo is created about not saying anything negative especially among Christians, is this reasonable? It would seem that there must be a p 70). Why Muslims Are Losing Ground The Islamic religion may not be doing demographic analysis on the subject of new converts, but it takes no wizardry to see that outside of a few Arab 71). Why Must the Lord Return When He Does – God’s Version of Enough is Enough There are many ways that God enters into judgment with both individuals and entire nations. There is only one reason why he enters into judgment and that is rampant immorality and sin. The nations have followed the same path as ancient Israel. Like Israel they sought God for a time, but when they were secure and full they started backsliding into e... 72). Without A Trace - The Great Rapture Controversy The rapture of the Christian is a well known matter among believers around the world. It is sometimes referred to as the catching away. Jesus spoke of it in Matthew 24:37-42 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, and marrying and giving... 73). Youth Heroes – A Double Standard As a boy I danced and shook to the music of Elvis Presley along with the rest of the kids in my generation. I was shocked to hear how he died from the usage of drugs but even when I heard of his death I still was unable to gather the significance of it. I’ve had decades to ponder the significance of it and I am sure it doesn’t fall under the headin... Browse Pages: [1] 2
