Christianity is not essentially a system of morality (as is Confucianism) that has to be adapted to the changing fashion of the centuries or else become outmoded. Nor is it a system of abstract universal philosophical truths, the validity of which is independent of the thinkers who first perceived them. Nor is it like many a pagan religion was, a system of rituals which depended for their effectiveness on being performed correctly.

The one true worldview?

Christianity has exclusive claims – why? How can you claim one truth? Is Jesus simply one among many options? Ravi Zacharias tackles these questions.

 

John 8:31-32 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,  and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

 

The Easter Story

The Easter story, as retold on twitter! It’s reasonably accurate, with some artistic license! The Scripture verses include Isaiah and Psalms, as well as New Testament passages that tell the story of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. For the historical accounts of Jesus found in the Bible, why not read it for yourself online.

Jesus is the Real Thing

How is Jesus different to any other religious leader?

Why is Jesus so special?

In the attached talk, Don Elliott unpacks why Jesus is so important.

John 1:1-12

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life,and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

Carols Playlist

 

Rather than the usual Christmas ‘song’ playlist of the supermarket variety, these Christmas carols and songs reflect the true story of Christmas. You won’t find jingle bells here, nor any reference to Rudolph.
