QUOTES OF THE WEEK
In those wretched countries where a man cannot call his tongue his own, he can scarcely call anything his own.... Whoever would overthrow the Liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech. - Benjamin Franklin
All God's giants have been weak men, who did great things for God because they reckoned on his being with them. - J. Hudson Taylor
Prayer will make a man cease from sin, as sin will entice a man to cease from prayer. - John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress
-----------------------------------------------------------
Abraham Lincoln said, "I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards!" If you would go forward and not backward:
- pause at life's intersections;
- process your observations;
- probe for information;
- proceed in the right direction;
- profit from good decisions.
Then you will not be guilty of walking backward and rejecting the Lord. - J. Don Jennings
Question of the Week: What do the Olympics have to do with God's Word?

Q: What do the Olympics have to do with God's Word? A: The modern version of the Olympic Games started in Athens in 1896, and although they have generated their share of controversy, the games were meant to foster cooperation, peace, and good sportsmanship. This is far different from the original Olympic Games, which started in 776 BC. These games began in Olympia, Greece, and were held in honor of Zeus. Rules were much different then, as many athletes competed in the nude, and in one event, pancratium, the goal was to box, kick, or wrestle one's opponent until he submitted, fell unconscious, or died. The Olympic Games grew rapidly in popularity, and before long similar competitions sprang up in ancient Greece: the games at Delphi in honor of Apollo (582 BC), the Isthmian Games near Corinth in honor of Poseidon (582 BC), and the games at Nemea to honor Zeus (573 BC). While these games were originally dedicated to pagan gods, Christians can use the Olympics as an opportunity to teach the truth. As is true today, these contests were big business and a cultural phenomenon. So popular were these various competitions that the authors of the New Testament made several allusions to them as illustrations. See how Scripture relates to the games and learn about an Olympics-sized outreach taking place next week! Get Equipped Why Won't They Listen? DVD The huge crowds gathering for the Olympics remind us that so many have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. As a Christian, you are His witness, but often people refuse to listen. Why? In this DVD, Ken Ham clearly shows the answer. Check out this excellent resource to more effectively share your faith. (Also available as a softcover book.)

Question of the Week: How should Christians respond to the Colorado shooting tragedy?

Q: How should Christians respond to the Colorado shooting tragedy? A: In the wake of the shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, where at last report 12 people were killed and several dozen were wounded earlier today, AiG reached out to our friends at Calvary Chapel Aurora this morning. AiG President Ken Ham conducted a seminar at this church last month. The church informed us that Pastor Ed Taylor and other pastors on the staff were at area hospitals to minister to the wounded and their families, and also to family members who are grieving the loss of loved ones. When AiG conducted its seminar at the church—located about 15–20 miles from Columbine High School where in 1999 a shooting rampage killed 15 people—Ken dealt with the question, "Why does God allow death and suffering in the world?" He explained that the Bible provides the history of what's wrong with this world. In Genesis 3, God teaches us that death, bloodshed, diseases, and suffering are consequences of sin. Yet even with sin in our world, Ken declared that people can know there is meaning and purpose in life through Jesus Christ, and that by receiving Him they can be saved for eternity. Continue reading our response to this devastating event. Get Equipped How Could a Loving God…? When hard times hit, even seasoned Christians find themselves asking, "Why?" In this powerful book, apologist and Bible teacher Ken Ham makes clear the hope-giving answers found in the pages of Scripture, with sensitivity to the person whose perception of God has been calloused by tragedy.
