I'm going to write about Early Christian symbols, about what these symbols mean today and where you might see them. What is the role that symbols play in our lives today? I'll give some of modern-day symbols. There are many Christan sybols. The Fish Chritsian symbol is one of the first. The fish is an acrostic, take the Latin word for fish (icthus) and spell it in the Greek alphabet, each Greek letter represents another word. Ichthus, spelled in Greek = Iota Chi Theta Upsilon Sigma. That is an…

Manuscript, Foundations of the Christian Faith by P.L. Ditshego THIS IS ONE OF THE PATTERNS THAT GOD USES TO UNLOCK THE REVELATION OF HIS WORD! Notice that (according to this parable), growth in the natural begins at the seed stage, then it progresses to the blade stage which speaks of a pointed leaf. The blade stage develops into a stalk called the ear until a final stage is reached when the stalk is fully ripe with grain. Thus, in this parable, Jesus was teaching His disciples that the…

morning, and I was about to have a big week ahead of me. I was thirteen years old when I embarked on a journey to go camping with my church friends at a place called the Wilds. I have been to a Christian camp before, but I had never been without my parents. It felt substantially odd that I was going to a Christian camp without my family for one whole week.

Back then when a Christian worldview was more prominent, things such as abortion, homosexual marriage, pornography along with others, were evaluated almost exclusively from a Christian worldview perspective. Even though not everyone in society agreed with the Christian point of view, but the majority, along with the ones who were in positions of authority, did. And thus the result was political and social policy which promoted Christian morality.…

Hans Christian Heg: A True Scandinavian-American During Scandinavian immigration to America, many Scandinavians arrived in uncertain of what they would accomplish but far surpassed their own expectations and set examples of successful assimilation into American culture. Assimilating into American culture was no easy task. For the majority of Scandinavians who left their home, their hope was to escape hardships and start a new life without religious discrimination, harvests that were sufficient…

The proliferation of anti-Christian television programs nowadays may be what the Bible foretold about the rise of “scoffers” in the last days, but Christians can still do something to fight back, according to Rev. Billy Graham. In a question-and-answer column on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s website, a reader remarked at how often Christians and other people of faith are mocked in a comedy program. When the reader asked if such TV shows should be banned, Rev. Graham urged him to…

treatise on Christian baptism. I am unpardonably proud to attach my name to such a monumental, studied and theological work. While reading his treatise I could not help but be reminded of the words of Baba Dioum, “ in the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, we will understand only what we are taught”. I was favorably impressed with the way Dr. Heyward skillfully, with surgical sureness and skill of a forensic defender, dealt with the question of…

components of the Christian faith. The book “Why Christian?” written by Douglas John Hall and Introducing Liberation Theology by Leonardo and Clodovis Boff examine these doctrines. The Wesleyan Quadrilateral referenced in John Cobb’s book “Becoming a Thinking Christian” highlight how the ideas of these two books in regards to sin and salvation align and diverge. With regards to Scripture, Hall believes that scripture loses its meaning because of the exaggerated emphasis to live a Christian…
