Why Is The Resurrection Of Jesus Important?

The Historical Resurrection Of Jesus. Jesus' resurrection is many times thought of in abstract terms or just treated as a form of a holiday with the celebration of Easter each year. In reality it is the most important historical event that has ever occurred in the world. This unique historical event consisted of Jesus, in human form, dying on the cross and then three days later being resurrected from the dead to live forever. As Jesus was in human form, His resurrection proved that man can ...

A Secular or Religious Government

If you're setting up a country, who would you like to govern it? Would you like a secular country or one basically controlled by a particular religion? By secular I mean one who allows all religions freedom to practice their own faith without infringing upon the rights of others to practice theirs, but at the same time controlling or governing the earthly part of their lives. To begin with one has to examine the various countries around the world and to see how they're governed. Most countries ...

Building a Church and Church Building Designs

a href="http://churchfurniture.christianet.com/">Building a church is a large project that is more than constructing natural materials, because building a church is building an expression of a church congregation's heart. Building a church has a purpose that is much more than housing classrooms or meeting rooms. Building a church is building a sanctuary, a refuge that has eternal purposes. This is why it is important for any congregation of people considering building a church to thoroughly ...

Blind Faith

Is christianity blind faith? Today I would like to talk about faith. Now when I tried to share Christianity with people I've heard often experienced a similar response. "well I can't follow your religion because it is blind following, it is blind faith so I can't follow that religion. This is a very common reply but one that I believe doesn't really make sense if it is dissolved. First of all what is faith. Well according to the bible, Hebrew 11:1, "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for ...

Reforming the State-Church

More and more people are becoming acquainted with at least some of the perils associated with organizing a church or ministry as a "tax-exempt religious organization." Not the least of these perils is the obvious answer to the question asked by Attorney Charles Crismier, "Have we become so dependent on the government and its perks that we have been seduced from God and His power?" (Lifegate 4/2000, p. 5). Most typically, this is done by incorporating and receiving an IRS 501c3 tax-exempt ...

Expand Your Church's Search Engine Reach!

One of the main goals of a Church web site is usually to attract the attention and interest of people who are "church shopping". There are many ways to do that, (which we will cover at a later date), but one of the problems many churches in urban areas run in to is the geographical scope of the visitors they want to attract. If you are in a suburban area, you don't really want to only have your site pop up in search engines for your town, do you? Of course not! I would bet many of your members ...

An introduction to Roman Catholicism

Catholic is a Greek word derived from word "universal", in it most fundamental form, to be Catholic means you belong to the universal church, this is a theory, including all of Christianity. However, due to the many breaks, which snowed under the history of the Christian faith, Roman Catholicism has of necessity urbanized a more definite meaning. Roman Catholicism has been recognized as Christian Church in full unity with the Bishop of Rome, or else acknowledged as the Pope in the Vatican. It ...

Religion and Peace

As I write this, it is Easter Sunday in the Christian calendar.

First I must cop to my own religious status. I would call myself an omnireligionist despite being an ordained minister with a doctorate in divinity. Translation: I don't really ...

A Live Church -- Or A Dead One?

Have you ever stopped to consider what kind of church your congregation is ' alive or dead? Does your congregation put forth the sense of one that is alive in its service to and worship of God? Or does your congregation put forth the sense that it is just hanging on, waiting for the last nail to be driven into the "coffin?" I would like to suggest some characteristics of a church that is alive, on fire for God. And then contrast that with the characteristics of a church that is dying. Live ...

Churches In Crisis

The Bible teaches that Christians ought to practice a single faith. It reads: "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all" (Ephesians 4:4-6). Yet, today, every man does what is right in his own eyes. What's the solution? Pastors and elders must set the church in order.

Sex and Religion: having faith in both

Sex and Religion: having faith in both There are some things people learn from their parents and some things they learn in church, but learning about sex is usually accomplished via the self-study method. We just have to have faith that what we learn about sex is appropriate and in keeping with the teachings of God. The good part is that most of us have a natural proclivity for procreation, and thus are following in the footsteps of God. After all He did make all of us in His image, didn't ...

Bible Stories

When I was young, I used to love to go to Sunday school just because I loved to hear the Bible stories. Quite honestly, even at a young age, I realized the church we went to was full of hypocrites, but that didn't stop me from learning and enjoying the stories that were presented to me. Today, I don't often attend church because most of the ones I have encountered are just as bad as the first one, and I certainly don't think worshipping with a bunch of hypocrites each Sunday is going to save my ...
