Canonization of the New Testament
How did we get the New Testament that we have today? What process was used in its canonization? And who decided what to include?
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7 NIV)

It is sad that many who call themselves Christians actually live as enemies of the cross of Christ, failing to honor him with their lives.
Honor Christ today as Lord and God! Let the light of Christ shine out into the darkness that is enveloping our world, bearing witness to his love.
Can we have any assurance in the reliability of the New Testament texts. That what we have today is the same as what was written 2000 years ago?
There are several reasons for the cross. But primary among them is that it is a demonstration of love, good in any language.
As believers in the Lord Jesus, we are engaged in a fight for the hearts and souls of men. But we need to be careful to do so with love.
Does God have a purpose for his creation? I believe he does. I believe he is preparing a people who will serve him throughout the remainder of eternity.
Some form of obedience is required from us in nearly everything we do. But obedience that comes from faith is different. It should be a joy.
Why should a person believe in the God of Christianity rather than some other god? Only the indwelling Holy Spirit can give that assurance.
We are often faced with a choice of who we should follow. God. Or the crowds around us. When they are in conflict, always follow the Lord.
