Testimony Tuesday

Hello Blog Readers,

Tim Challies has issued a cool proposal called "Testimony Tuesday" over at his blog.

I'm inviting any of my readers to submit their testimonies to me sometime before next Tuesday, April 3, in order to have them posted on my blog. I will also send a link of each testimony to Mr. Challies and he will collect everyone's links that are submitted to him and post a list of links on his blog.

If you have any questions, simply read his blog entry above or post a question on the comments section of this entry and I will do my best to answer. Then E-mail me your testimony if you would like it posted!

I hope you will take this opportunity to share your experience of God's grace and faithfulness to the rest of the Internet world. Enjoy the writing if you don't have one written already!

Building Stonehenge - This is one reason I'm an Engineer

This is simply an awesome testimony to the great mind that God has given mankind to understand His creation.

If you ever thought that Aliens were involved in building Stonehenge, THINK AGAIN!

God said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech." (Gen. 11:6-7)

The modern mind, mixed with evolutionary theory, has to appeal to aliens to explain how 'stone age' men could build the great wonders of the earth. But for Christians, all we need to understand is the reality that mankind is made in God's image and capable of doing anything that is really possible in this universe!

Thus, modernity proves simultaneously that is makes people as dumb as it does smart.

Enjoy the video and damn the alien theories!!!

Atheist Debate - McGrath vs. Atkins

Darwin and humanity: Should we rid the mind of God? A special debate between Alister McGrath, Professor of Historical Theology at Oxford University, author of "Dawkins' God" and "The Dawkins Delusion" and Peter Atkins, Professor of Chemistry at Oxford University, well-known atheist and supporter of Richard Dawkins. As seen on Channel 4's "The trouble with atheism". This event was organised jointly by The University of Edinburgh Philosophy Society and The Christian Union. It was held in George Square Lecture Theatre which seats 500, however was overwhelmed by the number of people wanting to attend, over 300 people had to be turned away.

Jesus and the Sinner’s Prayer

Over at Christianity Today you will find a great article well worth your read.

It is entitled: Jesus and the Sinner’s Prayer - What Jesus says doesn’t match what we usually say

I, as well as most of my blog readers, grew up being taught by the local church that Christians should do evangelism a certain way (*cough* easy believism *cough*) and that it lined up with what the Bible says.

Well, simply put, it doesn't line up with what the Bible teaches and we had all better re-evaluate our thoughts about sharing the Gospel and what Jesus actually calls us to do. For those of you who know me well, you will see why I liked this article's critique of modern Christianity's teaching about how to do evangelism.

Enjoy the article!

In Christ and In defense of the Faith,

Colbert gets it right! Well sorta...

For those of you who do not know who Stephen Colbert is, you might be up for a shock. But I think he's actually showing us what the rest of the world sees when they think about the religious right and politics. Here is the video. Let me know what you think in the comments section.
