Tensions are high. Tension between political parties. Tension between races. Tension between religions. Tension between those in authority and the people. Tension between our presidential nominees: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Tension between red states and blue states. In fact tension seems to be everywhere in the world today! For the Christian, this unmistakable tension can bring great concern, unsettling worry, and sleepless nights. The follower of Jesus may be asking: "What if the wrong

Unfortunately, for me Jesus had decided not only was I ready to use what I had gleaned from the important knowledge of His 40 days of fasting but I had to separate myself from my children because Christ Brings Division in Matthew 10: 34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those

Julian recognised her need for deeper love and knowledge of Christ and appealed to God, asking for three things. Firstly she prayed for revelations so she could gain a greater understanding of Christ’s passion. Secondly she asked for a near death experience which would allow her to experience all that a body and

rooster, or in the morning-- lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. And what I say to you, I say to you all: Watch!" Throughout the New Testament, Jesus shared all about the signs of the time. He had been sharing that there will be false Christs and there will be tribulation. The stars of Heaven will fall and all sorts of things will happen before the coming of the end of days. Jesus is much more than a wonderful person. While reading or listening to these parables, I hope you will fully

Introduction “What is the fate of those who die never hearing the Gospel of Christ? Are all the “heathen” lost? Is there an opportunity for those who have never heard of Jesus to be saved? These questions often arise as new believers. As new believers that have grasped being born again, that they have received the greatest gift, the first thing they want to do is share it with the world; but once they think of their loved ones who have gone without knowing or those in hidden places, all they can

“Reading is someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.” The previous quote become reality to me. After reading the book, Something Beautiful for God by Malcolm Muggeridge, my mind began to race with deep thoughts about my walk and service with Christ, along with the effects popular missionaries have on everyday Christians. Something Beautiful for God, is a creatively written account of a conversation the author has with the compassionate and devoted, Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa begins her lifelong

agnosticism and atheism. Despite his many efforts to renounce Christ, Hazel Motes remains a Christian evangelist whose every move is seemingly controlled by his faith. Hazel’s appearance even resembles that of a preacher, prompting questions to be asked towards him, despite the fact that he despises the thought of being a preacher. Hazel even states that “Jesus Christ is a trick on n****rs.” Perhaps the main reason Hazel wanted to negate Christ so badly was so that he would be able to live his life released

Flannery O’Connor once noted that all good stories are ones of conversion (Wood, 217), and Wise Blood is no exception. The central spiritual struggle of the book is that of the character Hazel Motes. The protagonist goes through not simply one but several conversions throughout the book. His spiritual quest is his realization of the Church Without Jesus, and his search for a new jesus. As analysis in this paper will elucidate, Hazel spiritual arc is a critique of approaches to knowing God. The first

Is Jesus the only Savior? This question does not seem to come up in daily conversation with true believers. John 14:6, “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Ronald H. Nash was a professor and writer for over 40 years. Nash wrote “this book to examine three competing views, identifies some of their major proponents, and explains why they believe as they do, with a view to determining which is true.” (Nash, 1994, p. 9).

can at you and still being able to succeed as a great leader. When I think about leadership only one man comes to mind, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Jesus of Nazareth was an extremely important figure in the Christian religion, he is believed to be God himself in human form. He is also considered to be one of the greatest leaders in history even after his death. Jesus Christ was a great leader because of ability to speak to people, his ability to unite people in the darkest of times, and a great teacher
