Don't All Religions Lead to
God?
Can
Christianity be faulted for unabashed arrogance in claiming to offer the
only way to God? After all, don’t all religions lead to God? A number of
people equate religious tolerance with religious truth. Many assume that all
religions are basically the same and that all beliefs are therefore
equally valid. They picture each religion as having identical faces
hidden behind different masks. Read

Current Christian Issues and Concerns
Pro-Family
Leaders: Bush's Call for Marriage Amendment the Right Thing
(AgapePress) - Now that President
Bush has called on Congress to pass a constitutional amendment limiting
marriage to a man and a woman, pro-family groups are energized. While his
political opponents say Tuesday's announcement is "divisive"
and driving a "wedge" between the American people, some of his
supporters say it is certain to become the definitive issue in the
upcoming elections. Read More...

Christian
Doctrine or Christian Unity?
There seems to be a great deal of
controversy about “doctrine”. To those outside the Church the mere
mention of the word conjures up visions that range from “outdate
historical notions” to “things that Christians fight over”. It does not
fair much better inside many churches. Today the mention of doctrine
seems to carry an almost negative connotation to it. There are many
prominent leaders inside of Christianity today who make an impassioned
plea for us to ignore doctrine and just “love Jesus”. Are these valid
requests? Read

Who
is Really a Christian?
We are
being inundated with the message of ecumenicalism. (Ecumenicalism is a
movement that desires to see all faith come together as one.) We see
celebrities such Oprah leading prayer vigils for anyone of any faith be
they Christian, New Age, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist or whatever. We have religious leaders
espousing the concept that there is one God but many paths to Him, the
Christian path, The Buddhists path, the Jewish path and so on. These are
lies from the depths of Hell. It is time for Evangelical Christianity to
wake up and stand for the truth as Jesus
Christ taught it. Read

Christian Reading for the Month
The Bible Answer
Book - by Hank Hanegraaff
Hank
Hanegraaff has heard it all. He knows what questions plague believers and
nonbelievers. And he's done something about it--he's spelled out the
answers. The Bible Answer Book is a simple guide covering the top
questions that the Bible Answer Man has dealt with in his ministry.
Topics include parents and kids, religions, difficulty, faith, fear, sin,
salvation, and many more issues vital to understanding the path to better
understanding God. Each question is approached in Hanegraaff's scholarly,
easy-to-understand style, and he even suggests additional sources for
readers who want to explore the topics further.
Scaling the
Secular City: A Defense of Christianity - by J.P. Moreland
”Scaling
the Secular City is the most sophisticated apologetics book I have read.
It lays out the issues, arguments, and counterarguments in a thorough
way. Moreland's special strength lies in philosophy of science, and
the book makes a real advance in the interface between Christianity and
science." William Land Craig.
Intellectuals
Don't Need God: and Other Modern Myths - Alister McGrath
It seems
like there are basically three kinds of thinking non-believers: those who
think believing in God is irrational; those who think believing in God is
unimportant; and those who think believing in God is dangerous to
self-worship. Yet all three kinds of skeptics need the life-transforming
power of the gospel. McGrath will teach you how to approach skeptics
successfully, how to overcome barriers to faith, and how to integrate
apologetics into a variety of forums.
