Author: Eric Subject: Rebuilding Begins in Peru's Quake ZonePosted: Tue Aug 21, 2007 4:02 pm (GMT -4) Rebuilding Begins in Peru's Quake Zone Peru (MNN) ― Hunger, thirst and disease threaten the survivors of Peru's magnitude 8 earthquake. Since Wednesday, the area has been rattled by more than 430 aftershocks. The temblor killed more than 503 people, injured 1,500 others, and left 90,000 homeless. Rescue workers say the lack of electricity, water and sewage services is increasing the fear of epidemics. A team from HCJB Global Hands has arrived in the quake zone to provide medical assistance, supplies and counseling. HCJB's Sheila Leech is part of a team sent over the weekend to Ica at the request of Samaritan's Purse. "We have family practitioners; we have a plastic surgeon; we have an internal medicine doctor. We have two general surgeons--one who has extensive experience in trauma and orthopedics. We also have an emergency doctor and an intensive care d...

Author: Eric Subject: Testimonies and Scripture Guide Spouses Through DifficultyPosted: Tue Aug 21, 2007 3:59 pm (GMT -4) Testimonies and Scripture Guide Spouses Through Difficulty United States (MNN) ― When a spouse is deployed for military duty, the husband or wife that is left behind faces many obstacles. That's why International Bible Society/Send the Light ministry has created a Bible just for them. Issues like anger often arise when spouses are deployed. Thirteen testimonies from military spouses are the key factor in Finding Hope Beyond the Battle. Chuck Adams, a retired army chaplain, said the testimonies tell how "the Word of God and their faith in God has helped them get through a variety of challenges, difficulties, and problems while the service member has been deployed." "At the end of each story there are four Scripture references with page numbers to direct the reader into Scripture to help and encourage them with the problem they're...

Books & Literature :: "The New Evidence that Demands a Verdict"
2007-08-21 06:00:00
Author: Eric Subject: "The New Evidence that Demands a Verdict "Posted: Tue Aug 21, 2007 12:00 am (GMT -4) I recently finished reading my summer study book, The New Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell. It is truly, as all the critics attest to, a masterpiece in Christian apologetics. Like I said I chose to study this, alongside the Bible of course, as my summer learning tool, being that I took this summer off from school, and don't regret a minute I spent in it. It really offers the most extensive credible defense for the Christian faith I have seen in one book. This book is a powerful supplement to your walk with Christ, as well as a superb argument for any skeptic to consider, and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. For a more extensive product description of the book, and the option to purchase it, go to the following website. Enjoy!!! http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Bo oks/product?item_no=42199&netp_id=157 655&event=ESRCN&i...

Author: Eric Subject: Ministry Focuses on Making Christians Relevant in CulturePosted: Mon Aug 20, 2007 4:30 pm (GMT -4) Ministry Focuses on Making Christians Relevant in Modern Culture Allie Martin A retired pastor is encouraging Christians to have an influence in the marketplace, and urging the church in America to return to a first-century Christian worldview. Dr. Bob Shearer is founder of Kingdom Business, a marketplace ministry that seeks to expand the influence of the church throughout society. Dr. Shearer, a Vietnam veteran who pastored churches for more than three decades, says the church in America must do a better job of impacting society. "We're not a Judeo-Christian culture in America," he says. "I'm afraid we're operating under a false assumption, if that's what people believe. We're as close to a Greco-Roman culture as the Apostle Paul was dealing with." But Shearer says many believers are realizing the church is not having the im...

Author: Eric Subject: Is VOM Wreaking Havoc Under the Guise of Humanitarian Work?Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2007 4:27 pm (GMT -4) Is VOM Wreaking Havoc Under the Guise of Humanitarian Working? Sometimes it never ceases to amaze me the misinformation and hate against Christians and Christian organizations like The Voice of the Marytrs. We truly do live in the days when good is called evil, and evil is called good. This morning, as I was catching up on some news, I came across this unbelievable story written by Sophia Tesfamariam and posted on the American Chronicle website. What caught my eye about her article is that it mentions Todd Nettleton and also Kevin Turner from Strategic World Impact, Glenn Penner from VOM Canada (all 3 of who I have personally interviewed) and Carl Moeller of Open Doors, Christian Solidarity Worldwide and Compass Direct. She characterizes all of them this way: "...just some of the major ones that are aggressively spearheading the disinformation c...

More than 500 people attended the joint conference took place in late July. "It was a truly landmark event in that we saw pastors praying over business leaders for their success in the marketplace as they lifted high the name of Jesus, and we saw business leaders praying for pastors and for church leaders," said David Shibley of Global Advance. According to Shibley, it was truly moving. "One of the business teachers who went with us said that was the most awesome experience--seeing this joint strength of both church and business leaders," he explained.

Bright Hope's Craig Dyer explains what they do. "We're going to the poorest of the poor in the world. We're going into their communities, we're planting a church, we're working with the church that may already be there.

The report also states that approximately 200 Christians in the village of Sai Jerern have been arrested and imprisoned. The majority of the Christians attacked were Hmong refugees that fled persecution in Vietnam. They strongly deny any association with anti-government forces. One of those killed was Neng Mua, who had been in hiding from the police. On July 7, he returned to his native village in search of food and was shot dead by a a one-time friend who suspected that he was member of the "liberation army."

Author: Eric Subject: NY Recognizes Canadian Same-Sex MarriagesPosted: Mon Aug 20, 2007 4:09 pm (GMT -4) NY Recognizes Canadian Same-Sex Marriages Kelly Patterson In a landmark case, an American court has ruled that gay couples who tie the knot in Canada can be treated as legally married in the state of New York. Justice Joan Lefkowitz of the New York Supreme Court ruled last week that same-sex marriages performed outside the country are valid, even though gay New Yorkers cannot be legally married in their home state. This is the first time Canadian same-sex marriage laws have triumphed in U.S. court, according to Alphonso David, a lawyer for the gay rights group Lambda Legal, which intervened in the case. “Couples can go to sleep at night without worrying about the security of their status,” says David. “I feel vindicated,” his client, Robert Voorheis, told reporters after the March 12 ruling. “When I say, `I'm married,' I'm married.” Voorheis and his partner,...

Dressed in fitted caps, jeans and Nikes, the seven members - all younger than 35 - work to save souls. But a lyrical flow meshed with hip-hop beats of bass lines and percussion taps is what they use to bring others to Christ. Blank stares and folded arms don't stop them from spreading their message in sanctuaries across Wilmington. Jesus is their hype man. That's enough to get amped about. "Our words hit people's spirits," said Krystle Marbley, 21, a singer who's known on stage as Krystle Klear. Some call the music "Christian rap"; others label it "holy hip-hop." Either way you describe it, this new form of gospel music is spreading across the United States, gi...

Author: NewsFeeder Subject: Taken Up by WonderPosted: Mon Aug 20, 2007 4:00 am (GMT -4) Taken Up by Wonder Margaret Manning I took up gardening a few years ago. (Well, actually gardening took me up!) It all started very innocently when a friend gave me a cutting from her jade plant. I knew nothing about plants. I had watched for years as my mother worked in her garden and I appreciated the interplay of color and texture created by the various flowers, trees, and shrubs. But, I didn't know the first thing about the process of cultivating or caring for a garden, and as far as I was concerned, the details involved in that process were best left up to my mother. But, all of that changed when I received my Jade cutting from my friend. She knew just how to initiate me into the wonders of gardening, without overwhelming me with the details. Jade plants are succulents--for those of you who do not know what a succulent plant is, it's simply a plant that doesn't need a great...

Author: NewsFeeder Subject: Echoes of Eden Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2007 4:00 am (GMT -4) Echoes of Eden Joe Boot For weeks I had watched a conveyor belt of silver trays pass before my eyes. In front of me, just beyond the conveyor, still larger silver trays overflowed with a most unpleasant sight. To my right lay a pile of cold, skinned chicken necks, in the center a mound of chicken livers, and to my left, skinned chicken gizzards. As the small trays sped by, great dexterity was required to place one of each of the innards into every little tray. The trays then wound their merry way past my colleague who placed two further lumps of unpleasantness onto them until they finally reached a machine that tidily bagged the little goodies in plastic, ready to be shoved into the chickens. Yes, I was working on a giblets-packing machine! It is hard to describe the intensity of boredom I experienced working at that chicken factory. I remember getting the job as a stopgap earner after f...

Author: NewsFeeder Subject: The Self-Cons cious Samar itanPosted: Mon Aug 20, 2007 4:00 am (GMT -4) The Self-Conscious Samaritan Jill Carattini I remember the first time I learned that legal proceedings are not always exact pictures of justice. I think my mom was trying to get me to clean my room. Trying a new tactic, she told me that if a burglar happened to break in that night, trip over the junk on my floor and break his leg, I would be the one responsible for his injuries. In such a scenario, the thief could actually take legal action against the very person he was trying to rob. To say the least, I found this disturbing (though probably not enough to clean my room). A similarly troubling picture of justice arises when a person is trying to help a victim, but ends up becoming the victim herself--such as when a passerby stops to administer CPR and winds up, for whatever reason, with a lawsuit on her hands. A recent newspaper column by Abigail Van Buren, known to her...

Author: NewsFeeder Subject: Seeing Spots Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2007 4:00 am (GMT -4) Seeing Spots Jill Carattini There are two ways to look at a mirror. This fairly unoriginal thought crossed my mind as I stood before my bathroom mirror focused on the spots I was wiping away, when my gaze suddenly shifted to a dark smudge under my eye. With one hand still cleaning the spots on the mirror, I tried to remove the spot under my eye with the other. It didn't work; or at least, as I attempted to do both, I didn't do either job well. You can't look in a mirror and at a mirror at the same time. Because the Scriptures are compared (among other striking images) to a mirror, the illustration seemed to be one worth contemplating. But instead of being stirred with thoughts and theology, I was caught off guard by the stirring of my own conscience. Earlier that day, as I was reading a passage in Scripture I can't remember now, I thought to myself self-assuredly: "If onl...

Author: Eric Subject: Jesus Christ on the Infallibility of ScripturePosted: Sun Aug 19, 2007 11:19 pm (GMT -4) Jesus Christ on the Infallibility of Scripture Dr. David Livingston There is considerable debate these days concerning the inerrancy (infallibility) of Scripture. The authority of God’s Word is the main issue. But, if one yields to the authority of Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach), he must, in turn, yield to Christ’s view of the Scripture itself. Anyone and everyone who claims to be a Christian (a believer under the authority of Christ) must hold to the same view He did! What was it? Negative Aspects (An Argument From Silence—But a Loud Silence!) Jesus never belittled Scripture (as some modern critics do), or set it aside (as the Jewish leaders of His day had done with their Oral Traditions), or criticized it (although He criticized those who misused it), or contradicted it (although He rejected many interpretations of it), or opposed it (although He sometimes wa...

Perhaps he should consider taking some history courses as well. Matzke reiterates the old canard that the phrase "intelligent design" was concocted after the Edwards v.

Author: Eric Subject: What Activites are Wrong for a Christian to Do?Posted: Sat Aug 18, 2007 3:56 pm (GMT -4) How Can I Decide Whether a Particular Activity - Such as Smoking, Gambling, etc. - is Wrong? In the first place, Christianity is not a list of taboos. "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ has already suffered and died for all our sins in order that we might be freely forgiven and saved, through an obedient trust in Him. In the second place, it is not our right to pass judgment on someone else and his activities. As the Bible says: "Let us not therefore judge one another any more; but judge this rather, than no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way" (Romans 14:13). Most of us are quick to criticize others, but it is far more important to be sure our own conduct i...

When the settlers arrived at Jamestown in 1607, they brought with them copies of the Geneva Bible. That Bible was the first study Bible and was translated and compiled by exiled reformers in Geneva. It is also known as being the first Bible to be read by common people in English. But the Geneva Bible was outlawed after the King James Bible 1611 was published. Now, the Geneva Bible Restoration Project has released an updated version of the 1599 Geneva Bible.
