All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen. 2 Peter 3:17-18

Prophecy and History

CGP — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:28:04 +0000

Remember the things I have done in the past.
For I alone am God!
I am God, and there is none like me.
Only I can tell you the future
before it even happens.
Everything I plan will come to pass,
for I do whatever I wish.
Isaiah 46:9-10

Prophecy and history work in tandem in scripture providing accurate details of past events and predicting similar but transformed events for the future. The God of the bible claims that not only has He worked in the past to guide events but He assures bible readers that He is not only able to predict the future but He has the power to bring it to pass. This knowledge of God’s action in history gives believers hope and comfort.

Pentecost: Youth Study

CGP — Sat, 12 May 2012 00:23:44 +0000

Pentecost/Shavuot/Feast of Weeks
Pentecost is observed in late spring, 50 days after the cutting of the wave sheaf in the middle of the Passover season. It is full of meaning for the Christian and is observed yearly both as a commemoration of the giving of the law/covenant at Mt. Sinai, and the coming of the Holy Spirit after Christ’s death and resurrection. This lesson offers a cloze activity with the related scriptures to help young people rehearse what they already know or search out answers that are new to them.

Foolishness or Freedom

CGP — Tue, 08 May 2012 18:54:10 +0000

Whether it is the proclamation that, “life is wasted without Jesus,” or the question about, “When does life begin” the secularists do not want to consider the Christian worldview. Jeff Patton looks at these recent news events in light of the biblical perspective on”foolishness.” Are you a fool for Christ?

Punishing the Messenger

CGP — Sat, 05 May 2012 17:23:30 +0000

Our western society, though it speaks loftily of its veneration of free speech, takes actions that belie those words. The message of the Christian scriptures in many circles is being silenced and those who voice it’s message are being punished for expressing their opinions, or even asking reasonable questions. Why is this?
The news media in Canada over the last few days has been covering the story of the five-day suspension from a Nova Scotia high school of a 19-year-old senior, William Swinimer. His offense was wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan “Life is wasted without Jesus.”

Can we achieve good ends by any means? Wiebo Ludwig, a christian church leader, was a role model to some and an eco-terrorist to others. What would Jesus have to say about his methods? Jeff Patton sheds light on the scriptures and how we are to achieve our end goal, while relating some fascinating historical and current examples to help us understand God’s perspective on the question of, “Do the ends justify the means?”
