Live churches' expenses are always more than their income; dead churches don't need much money! Live churches have parking problems; Dead churches have empty spaces! Live churches may have some noisy children; Dead churches are quiet as a cemetery. Live churches keep changing their ways of doing things; Dead churches see no need for change! Live churches grow so fast you can't keep up with people's names; In dead churches everybody always knows everybody's name. Live churches strongly support world missions; Dead churches keep the money at home! Live churches are full of regular, cheerful givers; Dead churches are full of grudging tippers! Live churches move ahead on prayer and faith; Dead churches work only on sight! Live churches plant daughter churches; Dead churches fear spending the money, time, and talent! Live churches outgrow their Sunday School...
ARTICLE WRITTEN BY EVANGELIST RAY COMFORT:Have you ever thought, "There must be a key to reaching the lost"? There is - but it's rusty through lack of use. The Bible does actually call it "the key," and its purpose is to bring us to Christ - to unlock the Door of the Savior (John 10:9). Yet much of the Church still doesn't even know that it exists. Not only is it Biblical, but it can be shown through history that the Church used it to unlock the doors of genuine revival.The problem is that it was lost around the turn of the 20th century. Keys have a way of getting lost. But Jesus used it. So did Paul (Rom 3:19, 20), Timothy (1 Tim 1:8-11), and James (Jas 2:10). Stephen used it when he preached (Acts 7:53). Peter found that it had been used to open the door to release 3,000 imprisoned souls on the Day of Pentecost. Jesus said that the lawyers had "taken...
Видение Давида Вилкерсона о последнем времени Давид Вилкерсон (David Wilkerson) родился в Хаманде, штат Индиана, 19 мая 1931 года. Будучи молодым пастором небольшой церкви в своем родном городе, однажды в его руки попала газета на главной полосе которой были фотографии совсем юных парней, которые должн были предстать перед судом за серьезные преступления. Имея близкие взаимоотношения с Богом, Давид был призван Своим искупителем на служение, которое было обречено на провал, если на него посмотреть человеческими глазами. Поехать в многомиллионный Нью-Йорк для того, чтобы донести Евангелие до каменных сердец этих подростков, о чем он подробно рассказывает в своей книге и фильме "Крест и нож".Сегодня Давид Вилкерсон является основателем Мирового Христианского Служения "Teen Challenge...
Бывали ли у Вас в жизни такие периоды, когда вы просите чего-то у Бога, но не получаете. Вновь долго и терпеливо просите, ждете, верите, что получите, и опять не получаете? В такой момент может показаться странным, что Господь не дарит нам того, что мы просим, ведь просим во имя Иисуса Христа (если это так, конечно). Тогда, я думаю, было бы не плохо взглянуть на пример, который дает нам Библия, пример Авраама ─ Бытие 12-22 главы. История начинается с того, что Господь обещает Авраму такое благословение, какое трудно себе и представить: ...
Question: "What is the true meaning of Christmas?" Answer: The true meaning of Christmas is love. John 3:16-17 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." The true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of this incredible act of love. The real Christmas story is the story of God's becoming a human being in the Person of Jesus Christ. Why did God do such a thing? Because He loves us! Why was Christmas necessary? Because we needed a Savior! Why does God love us so much? Because He is love itself (1 John 4:8). Why do we celebrate Christmas each year? Out of gratitude for what God did for us, we remember His birth by giving each other gifts, worshipping Him, and...
