Considering answers to those faith-questions we all ask…
Tag: Christian Apologetics
From time to time I write about my conviction that Jesus Christ will return soon, and without setting dates I personally see his return occurring within decades, not centuries or millennia. If I'm wrong, I'll apologise later. You can ignore or mock, or you can carefully consider the possibilities. Here's a sketchy summary of thoughts on the matter. I've written longer articles on each subject, with Biblical references, in past posts.
Today I'm re-launching a series of posts on the subject of speaking in tongues. My motivation is to help correct some errors in the Church which are at best mistaken beliefs and at worst a demonic deception and a mockery of God. These articles are intended for those who are genuinely asking what the true nature of this spiritual gift is, and whether it's a vital part of the Christian's walk with the Lord.
When we pray for healing does God's apparent inaction stem from our failure to work up enough faith? Would we all be fit and healthy if only we had plenty of it? Does the faith which is as small as a mustard seed really need to be as big as a mountain? I don't claim to be an expert in this field, and neither am I a man greatly empowered by the Holy Spirit as some people see power. However, I do have some answers from Scripture-the Bible-for those who are genuinely seeking.
If my title caught your attention it's either because you think you're a prophet, or more likely because you're brave enough to question the veracity of the modern day "prophet of God" who seems to be around almost every church corner. I've known enough of them to know what I'm talking about: some well-meaning and helpful; some wanna-be Peters and Pauls, convinced that they are the power of God on the earth.
The evidence to satisfy anyone with a genuine will to know God through Jesus Christ is available. At least, there's enough to see incredible value in considering him very seriously indeed. Why turn up your nose at the prospect of eternal life and a relationship with the creator of all things? What do you have to lose? The story of Jesus' life is enough for the open heart and mind, and many millions - perhaps billions - have stepped over that line throughout history because of it.
