Nicodemus Leaders

Anton BoschWe all know the story about Nicodemus who visited Jesus under the cover of darkness in John 3 and to whom Jesus spoke about being born again and to whom Jesus uttered the famous John 3:16. It is interesting to note that Nicodemus is mentioned three times in John’s gospel. In addition to the well-kno... Read More

Worse Than Sodom?

Anton BoschA line in this week’s Time magazine struck me. It was speaking about someone who was “the political embodiment of the megachurch approach: “get people in the door with rock or cappuccino or stand-up (comedy) – but get them in the door.” The article went on to quote The Speaker of the (US) House of R...

Demonstration 6 (Of Monks)

1. Expedient is the word that I speak and worthy of acceptance:— Let us now awake from our sleep, Romans 13:11 and lift up both our hearts and hands to God towards heaven; lest suddenly the Lord of the house come, that when He comes He may find us in watchfulness. Luke 12:37 Let us observe the appoi... Read More

From Revelation To Revolution

Chip Brogden"Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar...(Joel 2:17a)." I must admit that I would much prefer reading what someone else has to say about this particular time in history as opposed to writing about it myself. Yet I am compelled to write, due in part to my fr... Read More
Christian Apologetics

It is intolerant to say that Christianity is the only true religion.

Yes it is intolerant. In fact, it is very intolerant to say that Jesus is the way the truth and the life and that no one can get to God except through Him as Jesus Himself said in John 14:6.
