Subject: What do doors have to do with the gospel? 🚪

 

Martin Luther took a public stand for God's Word by nailing his 95 Theses on a door. (View in Browser)

Doors of Reformation 500 years ago this year, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, outlining the problems he saw in the church of his day and calling the church to return to God's Word. Luther used a door to point people toward the gospel. God has been using doors throughout history as imagery for the gospel. We use these "doors in the Bible" as part of our Why the Bible Is True exhibit at the Ark Encounter to present the gospel.   Discover the Doors →   Get Equipped Searching for Truth Graphic Novel Shop Now 〉

QUOTES OF THE WEEK!

The whole concept of forgiveness IS that you don't deserve it!

His hands were pierced in order that His arms might embrace. -Fred Afman

The Blood must be applied!

When saints die they go to people Heaven. It was the Saviour's wish that His own should be with Him in glory (John 17:24). Thus their death is precious seeing they help the Lord realize His holy wish and will. As each saint leaves earth there is another addition to the Father's joy, the Saviour's delight, and the angels' wonder and delight above. -Herbert Lockyer

The Blood can wash away any sin!
I read a little of the Scriptures before, but preferred other books; but since that time the revelation He has made of Himself has become unspeakably blessed to me,and I can say from my heart, God is an infinitely lovely Being. -George Mueller

Any sin will take you to Hell.
All sin is against God.
All sin is not the same (though all sin is bad).
No sin is too great for Him to forgive.
No sin is too small to not need forgiveness.
Let those be thy choicest companions who have made Christ their chief companion. - Thomas Brooks

To be rightly related to Christ makes you a Christian, To be rightly related to the Holy Spirit makes you a spiritual Christian. -Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer

Let go and let God!

Preacher, you are not the CEO of a Fortune 500 Company: you are the overseer of a family business! -Sumner Wemp

Question of the Week: Can other religious writings be from God, too? 📚

From the highly recommended: Answers in Genesis <www.answersingenesis.org>

Subject: Can other religious writings be from God, too? 📚

 

Other alleged divine writings are not from God because they are not part of the Bible.  (View in Browser)

Other Religious Writings The answer seems too simple: other alleged divine writings are not from God because they are not among the 66 books of the Bible, and, in fact, they contradict the Bible. This is a "presuppositional" approach, which means to presuppose that God exists and that His Word, the Bible, is the truth. This is the starting point or axiom. God never tried to prove His existence or prove that His Word is superior to other writings. So how do we know that other religious writings are not from God?   Read Now →   July 24–27, 2017 World Religions Conference in Florence, Kentucky Learn More & Register 〉
