The 200's
A Snowy 2nd Sunday in Advent 2018 Greetings!
Pastor Josh & Sister Kristina 9 Dec 2018
In the early days of the church, Advent was a time of prayer, fasting & confession. Today, Advent is more a time of preparation & expectation of the coming of the Lord. Did you know the second advent candle has 3 different themes? Faith--to indicate the faith it took for Mary & Joseph to deal with the unexpected pregnancy & the trip to Bethlehem; Peace--for the peace promised to all mankind through the coming of the Savior; & the Bethlehem Candle pointing to the Savior's birth in a manger. He is coming again. Prepare!

Thoughts & Responses Regarding Other Faiths & Belief Systems...
The Secret (or why the Christian faith is different from all others....) Deacon/lay Leader Joshua Justice
The Chrisitan faith... like others, it provides guidance and succor to those who follow it, but the Christian belief system rests on things very different from other systems. Yes, it answers questions, like "Why are we here? What is the meaning of life? Just what is the secret to this thing we call faith?" Deacon Joshua asks each of us now," Do you have faith? What about other religions, do they promote faith??? So what is so different between Christianity and all other belief systems, especially if they all have some sort of faith expression?" The answer is that Christianity IS different from ALL other faiths....... and we have the answer to that difference. We have the key to the answers, because we have access to and can understand "The Secret".

Interesting information from Dr. Bill Warner, an expert
on Islam & the Crusades... The Truth About the Crusades
“How can God be finite and infinite at the same time?”
A Muslim from Pakistan asks Apologist Nabeel Qureshi
questions about his faith in Jesus Christ.
This is a great clip from a forum, wherein a practicing
Muslim questions a former Muslim, now Christian
apologist, about the Christian faith.
A snippet from a longer study by Rose Publishing on the 5 Pillars of Islam... it is NOT the full study, but is a "teaser" for purchase. However, it is interesting to note that the professor underlines that it is a faith of works, and there is NO assurance of salvation... just a hope that what you've done is going to be good enough...and you won't find out until you die...
"Muslims and Christians don't worship the same God" writes former Muslim Nabeel Qureshi, in his new book No God But One: Allah or Jesus? A Former Muslim Investigates the Evidence for Islam & Christianity. Qureshi warns that this truth is offensive to Muslims, but he cannot be intellectually honest without admitting it.
