He's the God who hung on a cross. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-message-at-macy-s-parade-6489 2011-11-28T11:19:58-05:00 There's only one person who even claimed to die for our sins. There's only one person who backed up that claim by walking out of His grave under His own power, because only someone who has eternal life can give it. Jesus alone paid the price so you and I wouldn't have to. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/a-message-from-the-titanic-6424 2011-08-25T10:20:08-05:00 Maybe you know some folks who are still outside the lifeboat. You have nothing more urgent to do than in the Bible's words, "rescue those who are being led away to death" (Proverbs 24:11). http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-way-home-6364 2011-06-03T09:48:15-05:00 Jesus literally took our hell so we could have His heaven. Then, three days after He died, Jesus walked out of His grave and blew away death! Only the Man who paid for your sins can forgive your sins. http://truewoman.com/?id=1658 2011-04-15T10:24:03-05:00 How are we as followers of Christ to respond to those who insist that their faith is equally (or more) valid than ours? And how are we to present the gospel of Christ to a world that views Him as something different or less than we believe Him to be, simply another in a pantheon of religious figures? http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/1583 2010-08-09T16:31:30-05:00 Having just got back from a web evangelism conference in Lithuania, I thought I'd look up some stats for beliefs in that country, and found this remarkable table of Eurobarometer Poll results for the whole of Europe. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/356 2010-08-09T15:34:14-05:00 To share with Muslims, we do need to understand how they think. Here are several articles to help us think through these issues: * The Missing Father – explaining a Trinitarian Concept of God to Muslims * Understanding shame cultures – completely different to the culture you probably belong to * Oral Communication Cultures – although Muslims are people of the book, they are also within a broadly oral communication culture (as indeed are many westerners who do not get much information from print media) http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/392 2010-08-08T17:31:05-05:00 Research in UK by Christian thinktank Theos shows big big changes in religious belief: one in five believes in astrology or horoscopes, one in ten in Tarot or fortune telling and nearly three in ten people believe in reincarnation. These are much higher figures than similar research carried out in 1950 by Gallup. Although not included in the survey, ‘karma’ is also a very common belief here in UK. What this surely demonstrates is that a large percentage of the UK population (and doubtless similar populations elsewhere in the West) are effectively believing most of the tenets of Buddhism though they would be mostly unaware that they are doing so. http://internetevangelismday.com/religion.php 2010-08-07T17:50:01-05:00 We need to understand the big differences between biblical Christianity and every other religion (including apparently ‘Christian’ cults) http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-illusion-of-safety-6094 2010-05-20T10:48:42-05:00 The God you will face one day has told us bluntly that all our goodness will not make us right with Him. Then He explains what will. "Righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."
