...Currently, we are living in a time in which many people are deviating away from their initial faith. Although they may have their own justification, they also may lack in some basic knowledge. For example, many feel that God has stopped talking to them, or has stopped answering their prayers, and therefore don’t feel the need to practice a faith. Some ignorant Muslims also believe that God has already spoken in the past through prophets and the revelation of the Quran, and therefore feel that there is no need for Him to continue. But in reality, does God still talk? In fact God has always and will always make Himself reachable to His servants through different means of communication. Allah does speak to us, but one should not take the term talking literally. He does not have a tongue like ours, and unlike us He does not have a mouth to speak with. He Himself is vastly different from us, so He speaks without any need for a mouth or tongue. Before we get into our own contemporary case, let us have a quick historical survey on the way He communicated with outstanding personalities like prophets. He communicated with them either through direct speech, like in the case of Moses (peace be upon him). Moses received the Torah directly from God. Despite conversing with God, the Qur'an states that Moses was unable to see God and for these feats Moses is revered in Islam as “Kalimullah”, meaning the one who talked with God. The Quran also mentions this in chapter An-Nissa...

...3 WEDDINGS 1. Introduction 2. Philosophy 3. Legal Issues 4. Rehearsal 5. The Wedding Order of Worship 6. Processional 7. Formal Wedding Celebration 8. Simple Wedding Service 9. Brief Wedding Service 10. Wedding Sermons 11. Recessional 12. Premarital Conferences Introduction Jesus must have loved weddings. His first miracle took place at one. Some of his analogies regarding his relationship to the church are described in wedding terms. Paul likewise emphasizes the importance of marriage when he compares it to Christ’s relationship to the church. And in Revelation John explains Christ’s marriage relationship with the church as eternal. It is no wonder that Christians place high importance on weddings. Here are some ideas that might help as you perform these ceremonies on a regular basis. Philosophy You need to have a clear and defined philosophy about performing weddings. Since the function is not described or prescribed in Scripture, some ministers take the position that performing weddings is not strictly a “ministry” function. They see their role as nothing more than an agent of the state, much like a justice of the peace, in this regard. Thus they will perform weddings for just about anyone, member or non-member, Christian or unchurched. For some, this can become a significant source of extra income. Other ministers believe very strongly that performing...

...Life of San Pedro Calungsod Blessed Pedro Calungsod (c. 1654 – April 2, 1672) was a young Roman Catholic Filipino sacristan and missionary catechist, who along with Spanish Jesuit missionary Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores, suffered religious persecution and martyrdom on Guam for their missionary work in 1672. Calungsod was beatified on March 5, 2000 by Blessed Pope John Paul II. On February 18, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI officially announced at Saint Peter’s Basilica that Calungsod will be canonised on October 21, 2012. Pedro was just one of the boy catechists who went with San Vitores from the Philippines to the Ladrones Islands in the western North Pacific Ocean in 1668 to evangelize the Chamorros. In that century, the Jesuits in the Philippines used to train and employ young boys as competent catechists and versatile assistants in their missions. The Ladrones at that time was part of the old Diocese of Cebu. Life in the Ladrones was hard. The provisions for the Mission did not arrive regularly; the jungles were too thick to cross; the cliffs were very stiff to climb, and the islands were frequently visited by devastating typhoons. Despite the hardships, the missionaries persevered, and the Mission was blessed with many conversions. The first mission residence and church were built in the town of Hagåtña in the island of Guam. At this time, Spanish missionaries were actively converting Chamorros to Roman Catholicism. Very soon, a Chinese quack, named Choco, envious of the...

...What are the most popular Bible verses on BibleGateway.com? We thought it would be interesting to find out, so we crunched some numbers from a (relatively) small sample of 25 million Bible passage searches from March and April. This list isn’t actually based on a straight popularity count; simply tallying the most-read verses results in a top 100 list that consists almost entirely of John 3:16 and verses from 1 Corinthians 13, Genesis 1, Romans 8, and Psalm 23. Our list instead considers instances in which BibleGateway.com users looked at three or fewer verses at one time. If you’re curious to know what the least popular Bible passage is, it’s 1 Chronicles 23-27, which details the organization of the priests and officials under King David. Here are the top 100 most-read Bible verses on BibleGateway.com (all verses quoted from the NIV): John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jer 29:11: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Rom 8:28: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Phil 4:13: I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

...Christianity Christianity (from the Ancient Greek word Χριστός, Christos, a translation of the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ, Māšîăḥ, meaning "the anointed one",together with the Latin suffixes -ian and -itas) is an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion based on the life and oral teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament. Christianity is the world's largest religion, with approximately 2.2 billion adherents, known as Christians. Most Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human, and the saviour of humanity whose coming was prophesied in the Old Testament. Consequently, Christians refer to Jesus as Christ or the Messiah. The foundations of Christian theology are expressed in ecumenical creeds. These professions of faith state that Jesus suffered, died, was buried, and was resurrected from the dead in order to grant eternal life to those who believe in him and trust in him for the remission of their sins. The creeds further maintain that Jesus bodily ascended into heaven, where he reigns with God the Father. Most Christian denominations teach that Jesus will return to judge everybody, living and dead, and to grant eternal life to his followers. He is considered the model of a virtuous life. His ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection are often referred to as "the gospel", meaning "good news" (a loan translation of the Greek: εὐαγγέλιον euangélion). The term gospel also refers to written accounts of Jesus's life and teaching, four of which...

There have been many changes, additions, and improvements during this time. Adventurer Ministry has shown huge growth as well. Youngsters in this age group are full of energy and get excited about being a part of an organization that is designed to expand their view of their world and strengthen their relationship with God, Mom, and Dad through ways that are so much fun. The roof over Adventurer Ministry is supported by several strong pillars. You hold in your hands one of them: the latest updated manual covering all 83 currently accepted Awards for use around the world. There is of course, one small problem: This area of Adventurer fun is not a static field of possibilities, it is a constantly growing—maybe almost exploding—source of activity. Therefore even at the time of this edition’s printing, there are already more Awards being...
