Christ is the Only Way : Refusing the apple of acceptance
If you are a Christian and believe in Christ it is ok to stand your ground for your faith. Even though this world wants us to believe we need to accept other religions as being true it is ok for us as Christians not to accept other religions. In fact we are told in the Bible that Christianity is the only way. We as Christians need to be tolerant of other religions but not accepting.

Authentic Christianity: Into The Future
I know the word "authentic” is in danger of being overused but I like it. Authentic means real or genuine but in today's culture it also implies sincere, not hypocritical. So authentic Christianity suggests a faith that is genuine in the sense that it is the kind of Christianity actually found in Scripture, but also the idea of people that are authentic in that they are sincere and honest.

A Seal And Sign Of Healing Grace
There is no question that baptism has been an important part of Christian faith from the earliest days of the Christian church. The book of Acts tells us that the Christian church was birthed in a baptism. On the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit was poured down on the church to empower the Christians for life and ministry. Now we might think, “If the reality of the Holy Spirit has been given why go on baptizing with water? ” What happens then throughout Acts is that whenever someone or some group of people believe in Jesus they are baptized with water because baptism is an outward, visible symbol of an invisible and spiritual reality.

Strength Training
It is one thing to grow and it is another thing to grow strong. It is one thing for a movement to expand. It is another thing for it to endure. When we look at Acts 14 the issue is not just how the church expanded but how it endured. How it grew strong in a hostile culture. That's important because the principles revealed in these verses are relevant not only to Christian faith as a movement but to each individual in it.

When Being Good Isn't Good Enough
When the Bible talks about salvation, it means that God Himself comes into your life and connects with you and commits to you and promises you that every little thing is going to be all right and nothing will every separate you from Him. It means he forgets every fault, washes away every stain, tells you he loves you, promises that he is going to put right everything that is out of joint and promises that you are going to enjoy the awesome perfection of his eternal kingdom forever and ever.

Functional Christianity
Functional Christianity There is a significant difference between "confessional" Christianity and "functional" Christianity. True Christianity is not measured simply by what you confess, or believe, but by how you live. If Jesus is the reigning Lord of heaven and earth, then discipleship is measured by how you live in relation to the rule of Jesus.

The Hand And Heart Of God
If you believe that God is at work in the world and in our lives it changes the way you look at life and at yourself. It doesn't mean that every difficulty is going to be overcome through a miracle. But it does mean that God is not only real but involved with us, hearing our prayers, and that means that there is hope in every situation and it is the assurance that our lives have meaning because we are part of a larger story.
