6/5 Jesus is Building His Bride on Christian Foundations

We are continuing with our theme that the Lord Jesus is coming for His bride!  Everyone looks a good wedding, especially when the couple are a good match!  So who is – and is not – the Bride? 

A.  A people who choose to follow the Creator

Even before Creation was spoken into existence, the Creator has wanted a people for Himself.  Jehovah claimed a people for Himself in the Old Testament Jewish nation.  This resulted in their rejection of Jehovah and they were sent into captivity until faith in Him was cemented.

1.  Jesus Christ came for His people as well. 

6/4 What a day that will be! YouTube presentation on those coming to the Lord Jesus

Here is an interesting YouTube video, reminding us that many different groups of people will join us where Jesus comes to claim His Bride.

Stirring scenes of a passionate, worldwide Bride of Christ, uploaded by BNMTelevision on Nov 29, 2009.  As we have said, Jesus is Coming for a Pure Bride!

5/10 Summary of our series on the Challenges to the Christian Faith with Cults

So far in this series we have discussed the basic of what a cult is and how it gathers its members.  To help us review, here are some of the important points.

The Christian ‘religion’ is based on Jesus Christ. If we know what He taught, then any false and twisted doctrines arriving in our mailboxes, or knocking on our door, would not sway us from His Truth.

The aim of this series is not for you to become an expert in cults or other religions. Rather, we want you to have an understanding of Biblical truth in order for you to face the challenges to our Christian faith.

4/10 How do we talk to a New Age Person about Jesus Christ and the Bible?

So far in our posts on the Challenges to the Foundations of the Christian faith, we have covered the topics of Evolution and the Biblical perspective.  Then we went onto the Challenge of Humanism and the New Age to the basic teachings of Jesus Christ. 

Some people are hesitant to get into the Good News of the Gospel as they don’t feel they know enough about the Bible or their Christian view.  However, there is a hungry world out there – hungry for the reallity of a spiritual existance and the real truth of the Creator.

 

6/3 So just what is ‘the Church’ in Biblical Christian Foundations?

So far, we have set out some terms for mutual discussion when we set our our Christian Foundations.  We have also stated a ‘Reader’s Comments’  for those who wish to contribute to the discussion on the ‘Counterfiet Religious System’.  In this post, we introduce a familiar concept – one that influences all Jesus Followers.

A.  Jesus is coming back for a Bride

It has always been part of God’s agenda to bring a Family to Himself.  The Old Testament is full of this principle.  We see His plan for a special people in Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and in setting Israel apart for Himself.

YouTube – This is Discipleship through Christian Foundations

As we have been looking at the different thoughts and concepts by others about church and leadership, here is a very interesting YouTube video on just what is Discipleship!

They ask the question: “What would it look like if, as leaders, we focused less on the things that make our churches entertaining and more on making disciples?” As shown by Kelly Tshibaka at Foursquare Connection 2011.  This video was uploaded by foursquarecomm on June 2, 2011.

 

 We found this a very thoughtful presentation of the real message of Jesus Christ to His church, to His bride and to all Jesus Followers,
