Jesus Throughout the Bible

Jesus is the beginning and the end

Each book in the bible has a special name for God and each one is different from all the rest.

In this video, Jack Stockton, shares with us the unique and descriptive name for God that is found in each book of the Bible.

God goes by countless names and each one is good, kind and loving. If you should ever have any doubt about how much Gods cares and loves for all of us, all you have to do is go to the bible to find the answer for yourself... or you could simply listen to this awesome video.

Was America founded on Christian principles?

Patrick Henry: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the gospel of Jesus Christ."

There are many today who would doubt or deny that this is true. There has even been an attempt to cover up and, in some cases, to destroy the legacy of Christian thinking that has gone into the formation of our republic. Yet what were the true thoughts and intentions of the men and women who came before us?

A careful look into the past reveals landmarks which were essential in guiding America along the pathway that led us to where we are today. More often than not, at each one of these landmarks, there also appears irrefutable evidence that a sense of divine destiny accompanied the most important events of our history.

Here in part are some of these landmarks:

Was America founded as a Christian Nation?

"One Nation Under God."

This simple phrase, added to the pledge of allegiance over 50 years ago has been the source of unbelievable debate and heated controversy. Likewise, the phrase 'In God We Trust' on our currency has been targeted and continues to be attacked as improper and politically incorrect. Lawsuits have been filed and legal minds employed to ascertain whether such statements violate the concept of 'separation of church and state'.

As this debate continues, some so called experts have implied or concluded that our Founding Fathers and Patriots were not religious. These secular champions, in an effort to further their own causes, have even painted these great men and women from our history as being devoid of religious passions or even a belief in God. This is a part of their strategy to remove any discussion of God from the public forum.

These men and women were passionately religious and saw the hand of God all around them. To God they gave Thanks for His Hand in the founding of this great nation. To Him, according to their own testimony they turned for wisdom and strength when life and liberty hung in the balance. Certainly the debate on separation of church and state will continue. But no one can dispute how our Founding Fathers and Patriots felt about God. The record is clear!

'One Nation Under God' is Jon McNaughton's witness and reminder that those who went before us knew from whence their blessings came!

Have You Heard About "The GoBible" ???

"No downloads, no software, no computers, just GoBible!"

Here's a really interesting device I ran across the other day that might be of interest to many...The GoBible.

The Go bible is a ready to go MP3 player pre-loaded from one of three version of the bibles. Just insert one AAA battery, plug in the earphones, and turn it on. It's that easy.

In no time you'll be listening to Genesis 1. From there you can navigate to any one of 31,000 verses of the Bible. That's right the GoBible is the only audio bible I know of that's gone to the trouble of taking it to that level.

Other special features incorporated into The GoBible, include an index of 200 of the most popular Bible stories, a "Bible in a year" option, and a holiday and events index.

The GoBible is available in:

+ The King James Version is narrated by Alexander Scourby

+ The NKJV is narrated by Stephen Johnston

+ The NIV narrated by Max McLean.

It's reasonably priced at $100 and you can also buy optional gadgets that allow you to listen through your car stereo system or portable speakers.

God's Word Should Be The Final Authority

Not all churches teach all of God's truths

It's very important for all Christians to find and attend a local church. But how do we know which church to join?

Many churches preach doctrine that does not align with Scripture therefore it's vital that we find a church that holds to God's Word as final authority, and to reject any teachings that contradicts Scripture.

In the July 2008 issue of "In Touch" magazine Dr. Charles Stanley said, It's critical that believers ask the right questions before joining a fellowship. Namely, learn whether the church teaches these six truths:

1. The Bible is infallible divine revelation given to mankind so that indivduals can have personal relationship with God.

2. Jesus Christ was born of a virgin.

3. Our Savior was fully human and fully God.

4. After His crucifixion and burial, Jesus was bodily resurrected.

5. Heaven and hell exist.

6. Salvation comes only through faith in Jesus.

In addition, a fellowships message should center around redemption, specifically teaching that man is sinful and seperated from God (Romans 3:23). Since we all come short of His glory, our penalty is death (Romans 6:23). Yet the Father redeemed us through His Son's shed blood, saving all who receive Jesus as Savior (John 3:16; 1 Peter 1:18-19).

The Law of Attraction

There is indeed a very powerful law of attraction that's present in the universe and it's the attraction that exists between the Creator and the creation He loves.

The Secret Things of God

A positive Christian alternative to the bestselling The Secret

Dr. Henry Cloud reveals the "secret things of God" - secrets about God, about happiness, about relationships, and about your purpose. These tested spiritual truths reveal principles that make life work.

With millions of copies of The Secret in print, countless listeners are left wondering how its teachings fit with the truths found in Scripture. Though many teachings in The Secret may have shocked those of the Christian faith, believers have also been reminded of the deep spiritual hunger that exists in all of us - the desire for a power beyond the human, to work change in our individual lives. Even Christians who know and claim biblical truths often don't know how to use them. Dr Henry Cloud shows listeners how to unlock the treasure of these truths, igniting their power in their lives.
