March's Edition focuses on
Apologetics and Love |
|
We often get letters from those who are disturbed by the information on
our site and or the subject matter we address in our newsletters.
Working in the area of Christian Apologetics, we expect that we would
find those who oppose a ministry such as this. We certainly
acknowledge the right of anyone to disagree with us. The curious thing
is that some of the strongest letters of opposition come from
Christians.
It seems that the emphasis of “Political Correctness” and
“Tolerance” so prevalent in our culture has infiltrated into many
churches. The letters that we receive are chiding and quite condemning
about us being condemning. This presents quite an interesting paradox,
that one condemns another for being wrong about condemning another for being
wrong. This unfortunately escapes most people.

Current Christian Issues and Concerns |
|
Christian Silence = Endorsement of Immorality
http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/2/272002e.asp
(AgapePress) - With all the moral and ethical issues facing society today,
one Christian advocate says the Church has been too quiet for too long.
Tony Nassif is director of the Politics and Faith Institute. Nassif says he
would like to see more pulpits "aflame" with the message of church
involvement in the issues of the day. He contends that when the Church
does not speak out on the issues, it is already taking a stand.

Discernment and Judging
http://www.christianarsenal.com/Discernment.htm
In this time of “Tolerance” and “Relativism” many Christians do not know
their responsibilities according to what God has revealed in His word. There
are those who are running rampant in the Church today because they have
convinced many that we are not to judge anything. There are also people
outside of the church who cry for “Tolerance” telling us that by judging and
discerning we are violating the very Bible we say we believe. This has left
many confused and has silenced them in the church and kept them from
being what God intended them to be in the world.

Christian Reading for the Month of March 2002 |
|
The Word-Faith Controversy - Robert M Bowman Jr
Is it God's will that believers be
healthy, wealthy, and wise? Wise, definitely, but Robert M. Bowman
questions those who teach a message of bodily health and financial
prosperity through faith. In this balanced book, Bowman examines the
word of faith movement by revealing the origins, teachers, and errors
of this distortion of Christian doctrine. The faith healing and prosperity
gospel aspects of the movement are what appeal to some and turn off others,
causing a confusing and sometimes heated controversy. But the word of faith
movement is, Bowman insists, "neither soundly orthodox nor thoroughly
heretical." Using the Bible as his touchstone, Bowman helps readers sort
through the controversy and distinguish acceptable Pentecostal teachings
from distorted offshoots. He guides believers curious about the role of
faith in healing and prosperity, and encourages charismatics to pursue a
rich, mature, biblically sound Pentecostalism.
