  • The Conversion Of James, The Brother Of Jesus - After the miraculous conception of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph had other children as well. The gospels report that Jesus had at least four brothers and some sisters: “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Aren’t all his sisters with us?” (Matthew 13:55, also Mark 6:3).
  • 12 Easter Quotes to Celebrate A Miracle That Changed The World - Easter will be here before you know it, making now the perfect time for some delightful Easter quotes. After all, miracles may happen every day but this miracle -- the miracle of Christ rising from the cross to free all mankind from our sins -- is one that we must never forget. With that in mind, let's reflect on just how wondrous this gift was with these 12 lovely Easter quotes. 1. "The resurrection gives my life meaning and direction and the opportunity to start over no matter what my circumstances." ~ Robert Flatt 2. "Let every man and woman count himself immortal. Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection. Let him say not merely, "Christ is risen," but "I shall rise." ~ Phillips Brooks 3.
  • Faith, a Characteristic of Jesus' Life - Faith was an everyday occurrence in Jesus' life. Take for example the very first miracle He performed at the marriage feast in Cana of Galilee (John 2:1-12). Jesus commanded the servants to fill the pots with water, and water was taken to the head of the feast where it became wine. It never even occurred to Jesus that the water would not be turned into wine, He simply expected it to happen. There are many other instances of miracles that were performed in Jesus life, such as the ruler's daughter being raised (Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43; Luke 8:40-56), or the time He commanded Peter to catch a fish and take a coin out of its mouth (Matthew 17:24-27), or when He cursed the tree that immediately died (Matthew 21:18-22;
  • Only Jesus Claims To Be God - Jesus was not confused about His own identity; He unabashedly claimed to be God. But He also supported it by facts. Jesus performed many miracles; 35 are recorded in the gospels, including various nature miracles. These miracles show His divine powers beyond any laws of nature. Their results are immediate and lasting. One of the most impressive, the feeding of the five thousand, is attested to in all four gospels. And Jesus fulfilled each of the hundreds of prophecies about the Messiah from the Old Testament with remarkable accuracy, all but a few outside his own control, and well beyond any statistical probability of chance. These prophecies were written hundreds of years before He was born and predicted His family line, His birth and birthplace, His ministry and in much detail His suffering and crucifixion.
  • Would You Die For A Lie? - At the beginning of His ministry, Jesus chose twelve disciples, who later served as His apostles. As history and tradition teaches us, likely all but one, John, died a violent death as martyrs for their faith. Theirs is the ultimate testimony. That is actually the origin of our word martyr; the Greek verb “martureo” means “to be a witness,” “to testify.” Skeptics, however, will claim that people die daily for what they believe, either as innocent victims, as a result of persecutions or deliberately, like a fanatic Muslim homicide bomber. So dying for one’s faith does not prove anything about the truth of the resurrection. Wait.
  • Jesus' Resurrection - The Evidence Of The Missing Body - All four gospel writers unanimously agree that Joseph of Arimathea claimed the body of Jesus after His death. Here is the account of Luke 23:50-56 (see also Matthew 27:57-61, Mark 15:42-47 and John 19:38-42): “Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea and he was waiting for the kingdom of God. Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body.
  • Jesus' Resurrection - Were The Apostles Deceived? - The lives of the twelve Apostles as well as those of Paul and James provide clear evidence they were convinced Jesus really returned from the dead, but perhaps they were deceived. They believed it to be true, but had they been fooled? Over the centuries there have been several variations of this notion, usually known as the swoon theory.
  • The Conversion Of Saul To Paul - Paul, the great apostle who founded churches throughout Asia and Europe, whose missionary spirit fills the book of Acts, and who wrote much of the New Testament was initially a fanatic Christian killer. Known originally as Saul of Tarsus, Paul is introduced in the New Testament at the stoning of Stephen (Acts 8:1), one of seven Hellenistic deacons, around 34 AD, only about twelve months after the resurrection. Next, “Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison” (Acts 8:3). Extending the vigorous Jewish persecution of the young Christian movement, Saul travelled to Damascus with letters from the high priest to imprison more Christians. However, on the road to the city he encountered the resurrected Jesus.
  • The Rite Of Water Baptisim - As Christians, one of the first rites I believe every born-again believer should observe, either at the moment of being saved in the Lord or sometime shortly thereafter, is to be baptized with water. You can either be baptized with water at the moment you are receiving your gift of eternal salvation from the Lord or you can be baptized with water at a later date.

  • The Smallville Complete Season Musical Score - The music of the Smallville complete season is all thanks to comper Mark Snow and producer Ken Horton working together to make a masterpiece of an underscore.

He then sends the music for the complete season of Smallville to the producers, and they decide if they like it or if they think there needs to be some adjustments to the score.
  • The Great Men Of History - Ask anybody: “Who are the great men in human history?” Likely you will hear names such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, or perhaps even Ronald Reagan. What do these men have in common? What made them great? They were successful because they were powerful, and with this power they changed the course of history by their heroic actions, or by ruling countries or even whole continents. How different these “great men” are when compared to the person of Jesus of Nazareth!
  • The Egg Is Empty! - My kids love a good Easter egg hunt. And, I’ll admit, I love to give them one. I get such joy out of stuffing the eggs, hiding them, then standing by (and maybe video-taping) as my kids go traipsing through the house, searching for the eggs with their initials on them (I’ve got to make it fair by giving them each the same number of eggs to find!). It’s especially fun to see one of them get so close to an egg but not quite see it. Sometimes I even have to play the “hot and cold” game if they grow frustrated.

  • Is There More than One Gospel in the Bible? - Many Bible students assume that the word "gospel" refers to the same message each time it is used throughout the Bible. If that is so, why would the Bible use so many different titles for the same message? For instance: Gospel of the Kingdom (Matt 4:23 KJV) Gospel of the Grace of God (Eph 2:8-9 KJV) Everlasting Gospel (Rev. 14:6 KJV) The word "gospel" simply means "good news." While all of God's good news centers in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, not all of the gospel revelations contain the same information about him. Let's examine the first two-the gospel of the kingdom and the gospel of the grace of God-to see if they are the same message.

This was one of the first times I was in a room full of people on drugs. The place was alive and the music was pumping and the sweat was dripping. This was one of the most exciting and enjoyable gig's I have ever experienced.

They prayed, sent messages and waited for Jesus to come heal him but by the time he got there, Lazarus was four days dead leaving two grieving sisters and a big crowd of mourners had gathered at their home.This is a typical Christian setting where people pray and hope something will happen but it seems Jesus is always away when they most need him! Do you perhaps think the Lord is too late to assist you today?

  • The Bed Bug: A Household Threat - A resurgence of Cimex lectularius, better known as the common bed bug , has turned playful bedtime sendoffs into truly fearful warnings. This resurrection can largely be attributed to the halt in using the pesticide DDT that nearly eradicated bed bugs in the United States in the 1950s, leaving little to no defense against the uprising miniscule offenders today. Adding to this effect is the fact that bed bugs are nocturnal in nature, preying on sleeping people across the world. They feed on human blood, leaving only a trail of red itchy welts or localized swellings on the skin as calling cards of their appearances. While red marks may be an indication of an infestation, they are definitely not a confirmation.
  • Palestine at the Time of Jesus' Birth - During their years of exile in Babylonia and Persia, the Jewish people had absorbed the idea that life is a battlefield between Good and Evil. Later on, back in Roman-occupied Judea, the line between Good and Evil seemed to have been clearly drawn between the Jews and the Romans. This divisiveness was further fueled by several conflicts that had been brewing for a very long time: First, there was the growing anger and cynicism caused by the corruption and violence of their own rulers as well as their occupiers. Various new groups and 'movements' - particularly the Pharisees, Sadducees, Zealots, and Essenes - were shaped and motivated by these sentiments. The Sadducees were mostly members of the wealthy conservative elite.

She is probably right in some way.

  • Overview Of Lent - Lent is the period of 40 days of fasting that is preceding Easter.

  • The Underlying Unity of Religion - All religions have two aspects -- an external teaching and an internal teaching. The external teaching describes historical events, and asks people to (1) believe that the history is accurate, (2) have faith in various claims that are made in the narrative, and (3) learn certain lessons about social morality and ethics that the stories exemplify. The stories and claims of the different traditions, as we know, are very different. The internal teaching has a very different purpose. When western myths and scriptures are interpreted in a symbolic, allegorical way - rather than merely as literal history - they are all found to have the same underlying meaning and purpose: they present a uniform psychological method for the enlightenment of the human soul. In other words, the esoteric teaching always presents the method for spiritual initiation.
