Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was brought up to believe that the Bible was the Word of God. In early life I accepted it as such upon the authority of my parents, and never gave the question any serious thought. But later in life my faith in the Bible was utterly shattered through the influence of the writings of a very celebrated, scholarly and brilliant sceptic. I found myself face to face with the question, Why do you believe the Bible is the Word of God? I had no satisfactory answer. I determined to go to the bottom of this question. If satisfactory proof could not be found that the Bible was God's Word I would give the whole thing up, cost what it might. If satisfactory proof could be found that the Bible was God's Word I would take my stand upon it, cost what it might. I doubtless had many friends who could have answered the question satisfactorily, but I was unwilling to confide to them the struggle that was going on in my own heart; so I sought help from God and from books, and after much painful study and thought came out of the darkness of scepticism into the broad daylight of faith and certainty that the Bible from beginning to end is God's Word. The following pages are largely the outcome of that experience of conflict and final victory. I will give Ten Reasons why I believe the Bible is the Word of God.

Download or read book Core Christianity written by Michael Horton and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
Download or read book 100 Reasons to Believe the Bible Is the Word of God written by Wiley Graf and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-29 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this work is to present the many evidences demonstrating that the Bible must be the Word of God, that more might come to saving faith in Christ. THE UNAWARE: Drawing from personal experience, the author is convinced that more would believe, if only they were made aware of the many evidences solidly supporting the Christian faith. 100 Reasons to Believe is written specifically for these unaware individuals, and, indeed, for all sincere seekers of truth who long for evidence to back up their faith. But we live in an increasingly noisy and distracted world. Some readers will remain unaware, if our product is merely black words on a white page. More could be reached by simply sprucing up our product with a calculated use of visuals. AWARENESS-RAISING DISTINCTIVE: The great distinguishing characteristic of this work is its use of eye-pleasing, attention-grabbing/retaining visuals. Each of the 100 Reasons is presented in a self-contained, two-page storyboard, with an image always leading off the even-numbered (left) page. Shaded/boxed theme statements are added, along with scannable text and the calculated use of white space. The result is an easier and more enjoyable reading experience. Higher reader retention rates will naturally follow, leading to an overall raised awareness of the many evidences solidly supporting the Christian faith. CHAPTER CONTENTS: Witnesses are brought in to testify from numerous fields of study: (1) A Creation/Flood Model is Superior to an Evolutionary Explanation of Origins, (2) Manuscripts/Archaeology Support the Historical Reliability of Scripture, (3) The Structure and Style of Scripture Suggests a Supernatural Author, (4) Jesus' Fulfillment of Messianic Prophecy Confirmed by Hostile Witnesses, (5) Fulfilled Prophecy in History Confirmed by Extra-Biblical Witnesses, (6) Scripture Anticipates Numerous Scientific Advances, and (7) Closing Witnesses to the Truth of Scripture. APPLICATION: Lost in self and sin, the world has little interest in what the Bible has to say with regard to God's Salvation. But once convinced that the Bible is indeed the Word of God, it is only natural to ask: "According to the Bible, what must I do to be saved?" The Appendix provides a Biblical answer to this most important of all questions. Coming full circle, with God's added blessing, the stated purpose of this work will have been achieved with all that respond in faith.

Download or read book No More Faking Fine written by Esther Fleece Allen and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is There Hope in the Chaos? Our civilisation is unstable. Everyone can feel it. We face a looming mental health crisis.

Download or read book Undeniable Evidence written by Ray Comfort and published by . This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though the Bible wasn't written as a scientific book, it contains amazing scientific facts that were penned thousands of years before man discovered them facts regarding the earth being round, its free float in space, laws of quarantine, the existence of the dinosaur, and many others. Although Christians don't need convincing that the Bible is the Word of God (because they have met the Author), such gems in Scripture tend to warm the heart and solidify our faith. While this publication is written primarily for Christians, unbelievers who are perhaps interested in the Bible's immutable promise of everlasting life may like to examine the undeniable evidence, and consider the implications if its offer of Heaven and warning of Hell are indeed true.
