Have you noticed how secular philosophies have eroded the Biblical foundation of today's church? The first century church at Colosse had the same problem. False teachers were gaining ground, dismissing foundational truths and promising greater fulfillment and happiness in their convoluted religious teachings. In response, Paul penned his letter to the Christians in Colosse--an invaluable resource for every Christian. This study of Colossians is designed for the busy person interested in finding what God's Word has to say to the twenty-first century Christian. In less than a month, what you learn will transform your thinking and your life.

Most of what we know of the life of Jesus comes to us from four Gospels in the New Testament, specifically, the Synoptic Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke. These books present a more human, historical view of Jesus. The Gospel of John, much different, provides the view of a divine Jesus. These four Gospels are unique endeavors regarding Jesus' social situations, his loved ones, and his reactions to stress. In this study I looked at Jesus' behavior through the Synoptic Gospels, and analyzed Jesus' behavior against the field of criminology. My hope is that we derive more of Jesus' motivation and social situation than what one typically accepts. This is but one view, under a small ...

Are you Religious or Spiritual? is about 320 pages and describes from a Biblical point of view the difference between lifeless, ritualistic, and legalistic forms of religious expression and the Christian spiritual way of life empowered by the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. 2. The basis of being a true born-again Christian believer is based on salvation received as a free gift by the grace of God alone through faith alone in Christ and His work of dying on the cross for our sins and not by any human self-righteousness, merit or works. 3.

Website: www.HowDidGodDoIt.com Conventional wisdom about the Bible implies that God has a magic wand and all the wonderful stories in the Bible from the creation, to the parting of waters, through the healing stories, just magically happen. What if God accomplished those Bible events another way, without a magic wand? In the beginning God would not only create the Universe and our planet Earth, He would create all the laws of chemistry and physics. These scientific laws are the “glue” that hold it all together. They work all the time, predictable and empirically verifiable. And because God is infinitely wise, He would not violate these wonderful scientific laws He created, because doin ...

Students will develop a better understanding of what scripture says about the future. This course also offers encouragement to all believers as we ar ...
