Christian Beliefs

 PDF Is Christianity Alone Fully True and is Jesus Christ Really the Only Way to God? Part 6
AUTHORS:  Ankerberg, Dr. John/ Weldon, Dr. John
Is Christianity intolerant or narrow-minded for teaching there is only one way to God? The authors say quite the contrary. In fact, it is other religions that, while saying they are tolerant of all religions, are completely intolerant of one—Christianity! Why is that the case?
Christian Beliefs

HTML

 PDF Is Christianity Alone Fully True and Is Jesus Christ Really the Only Way to God?—Part 3
AUTHORS:  Ankerberg, Dr. John/ Weldon, Dr. John
Who do so many speak in terms of being “blessed” or of being given gifts when they don’t believe in God? Who gave them the gifts? Some who call themselves atheists credit themselves, their own abilities. Others grudgingly admit to an uncomfortable thought that there might be a god, a higher power outside of themselves. This month the authors suggest that even most who call themselves atheists cannot completely ignore the possibility of a God of some sort.
Christian beliefs

HTML

 PDF Is Christianity Alone Fully True and is Jesus Christ Really the Only Way to God?—Part 4
AUTHORS:  Ankerberg, Dr. John/ Weldon, Dr. John
Do all men—even those who claim to be atheists—have an “innate knowledge of God”? The evidence seems to point that way. The authors cite leading atheist, Jean-Paul Sartre, and the research of Don Richardson to show that God is very much a part of human experience and consciousness.
Christian beliefs

 PDF Man’s Desperation for God’s Good News! (Rom. 1:16-18)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
The world is sick—not physically, but spiritually. But Paul tells us in Romans that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the medicine the world needs. Are we too ashamed to tell people about the cure?
Christian Beliefs

HTML

 PDF Man’s Desperation for God’s Good News, Part 2 (Rom. 1:19-32)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
According to Dr. Barber, Paul goes about the problem of man’s sin in a slightly backwards way. First, he gives the cure—the good news, then he tells us the problem—man is inherently sinful.
Christian Beliefs

HTML

 PDF Man’s Desperation for God’s Good News, Part 3 (Rom. 2:1-14)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
The Gentiles in Rome were sinners. No one questioned that. Paul describes them as being “ungodly” and “unrighteous.” The problem came in convincing the Jews that they were in the same boat—they too needed the saving grace of God. Dr. Barber explains the way Paul lays out the legal case against the Jews in Romans chapter 2.
Christian Beliefs

Christian Beliefs

HTML

 PDF Man’s Desperation for God’s Good News, Part 5 (Rom. 3:1-5)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
What benefit was there for Paul’s readers to be a Jew? Would the Law save them? Would being a descendent of Abraham save them? Would adhering to the Temple rituals save them? This is the issue Paul deals with in these verses
Christian Beliefs

HTML

 PDF Man’s Desperation for God’s Good News—Part 6 (Rom. 3:9-24)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
The Apostle Paul calls his last three witnesses in the case against Jews and Gentiles. The charge: all are guilty of sin. The witnesses: The Psalms, the Prophets and the Law.
Christian Beliefs

PDF Our Majestic Christ (Eph. 1:20-23)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
This week Dr. Barber looks at the Majesty of Christ as it is revealed in his text for this sermon. He also looks at the texts throughout the New Testament that refer to the “right hand” to see what that implies for us about Christ, who is seated at God’s right hand.
Christian beliefs

HTML

 PDF Our New Life in Christ—Part 2 (Rom. 6:6-11)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
When a man comes to understand why he is what he is and where it came from, his whole perspective on sin changes. When he turns to Christ and puts his faith into Christ, he is never again related to sin like he used to be. That, says, Dr. Barber, is the whole point.
Christian Beliefs

HTML

 PDF Paul: The Deliverer of God’s Good News! (Rom. 1:1)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
Paul was a Pharisee—one who was devoted to keeping the Law of God. When God saved him became a bond-servant of God—one who was devoted to proclaiming the grace of God. Wayne Barber explains how Paul’s background as a Pharisee was an important part of his training to be a proclaimer of the Good News.

 PDF The Christian Faith—Why It’s True, Part 2
AUTHORS:  Ankerberg, Dr. John/ Weldon, Dr. John
When one examines the arguments and attacks made against Christianity for 2,000 years, not one is valid. Not one disproves Christianity. Even with the most difficult problems, Christianity has the best answer to offer. Drs. Ankerberg and Weldon explain.
Christian Beliefs

HTML

 PDF The Christian Faith—Why It’s True, Part One
AUTHORS:  Ankerberg, Dr. John/ Weldon, Dr. John
The Christian faith was not the fabrication of man; it was not the invention of the disciples or the Apostle Paul; nor is the Christian faith simply a result of the cultural evolution of the Jewish people. Christianity is not a deception. Drs. Ankerberg and Weldon begin a multiple part series examining some of the evidence for the Christian faith.
Christian Beliefs

 PDF The Debtor of God’s Good News (Rom. 1:8-15)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne

Christian Beliefs

HTML

 PDF The Details of God’s Good News, Part 1 (Rom. 3:21-26)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne

Christian Beliefs

HTML

 PDF The Details of God’s Good News, Part 2 (Rom. 3:26-31)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
Dr. Barber gives the third point in his “definition of the Gospel”: the Gospel requires that I acknowledge my good works are unacceptable before God.
Christian Beliefs

HTML

 PDF The Details of God’s Good News, Part 3 (Rom. 3:31-4:12)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
Good works can’t save us—we could never do enough; following the law can’t save us—we could never follow it perfectly enough; even those great heroes of the Jewish people, Abraham and David needed something outside themselves to be righteous in God’s eyes? What is that something?
Christian Beliefs

HTML

 PDF The Details of God’s Good News, Part 4 (Rom. 4:13-17)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
In Romans Chapter 4, Paul uses Abraham as the example in showing that we are not and cannot be justified by works or by the law. Justification comes only by faith in Jesus and what He has done for us.
Christian Beliefs

HTML

 PDF The Details of God’s Good News, Part 5 (Rom. 4:18)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
What did Abraham believe that was counted to him as righteousness? Dr. Barber asserts that he believed in Christ—just as we do. The difference is that Abraham was looking forward to what Jesus would do, we look back to what He has done. Dr. Barber follows the thread of the Redeemer through the Old Testament to document this argument.
Christian Beliefs

HTML

 PDF The Details of God’s Good News, Part 6 (Rom. 4:18-25)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
If you tell somebody to put their faith into the Lord Jesus Christ, what do you mean? What do we mean by “faith”? The answer is found in these verses.

 PDF The New Life that We Have in Jesus Christ! (Rom. 6:1-5)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne
Romans 5:20 says that “where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.” So, a Christian can just go out and do whatever he pleases, sin as much as he wants, because then he’ll get more grace, right? Wrong! Says Dr. Barber as he begins to show you Paul’s argument against that very idea.

 PDF The Reason Every Man Needs To Be Justified By Faith (Rom. 5:12-14)
AUTHORS:  Barber, Dr. Wayne

 PDF “To” or “From”? That is the Question
AUTHORS:  Coleson, Joseph
Christians often think of holiness as something for the sainted few. Non-Christians, if they think of holiness at all, may find it a concept for ridicule or even for censure. Not too many of us think of holiness as something to be desired and sought after. But, as Joseph Coleson explains, everyone is, or is becoming, holy to something or someone.

PDF Al Cielo Por Los Diez Mandamientos? Capitulo 2
AUTHORS:  Knott, Carlos Tomas
This article deals with the first five commandments, which emphasize our responsibility toward God. The author looks at what it would mean for a person to try and keep them all perfectly. God’s Law, correctly used, does nothing to exalt or console people; on the contrary, its lawful use is to show our need for a Savior. Those who understand the Law, instead of trying harder to be good or practice the religion of their choice, will confess their sinful condition and need of a Savior.
