Free Bible Study Resources: Week of Oct. 6, 2008

The following Bible study resources mentioned on this week's BibleStudyCafe Show:

1. I'm proud to announce that the sermons of my pastor, Dr. Lucius M. Dalton, of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, Washington, DC, are now available online!

You can listen to Pastor Dalton's most recent sermon, "Finish the Race" from Sunday, Oct. 5, 2008.

2. The Washington Post article, "Plugging the Planet Into the Word." The subtitle of the article, "Christian Groups Use Technology to Greatly Expand Bible's Audience," really speaks to encouraging missionary work discussed in the story. You can also read my summary of the article.

-- Two resources mentioned in the article: The Forum of Bible Agencies International, an organization which has taken on the challenge of translating the Bible into many languages: http://www.ifoba.com and another useful site referenced in the article, to chart the progress of the Good News globally is: http://www.worldmap.org

3. The Ancient Greek Word of the Week: Actually, I'll feature several words mentioned in Pastor Dalton's Oct. 5, 2008 sermon:

1 Corinthians 9:24 (The Greek word for "race" is "Stadion")

1 Corinthians 9:25 (Crown is "Stephanos" in Greek) My name, Steven, comes from this word! : )

4. Each week in this blog, I use BibleGateway.com for Bible verses and the Interlinear Bible offered by Bible.CrossWalk.com

Please let me know of any Bible study resources that you use so that I may post them on this blog.

Your Brother in Christ,

Bible study resources mentioned on this week's BibleStudyCafe show:

1.Institute of Biblical Greek: http://www.biblicalgreek.org

2. Oneplace.com - Audio sermons online:

OnePlace.com is a site which features audio sermons from a wide variety preachers. I go to this site to listen to some of my favorites, including Pastor Paul Sheppard, and Dr. Tony Evans.

This site is useful as I am able to learn about and listen to pastors not heard on the radio in my local area.

The Ancient Greek Word of the Week is: "Koine"

Koine, as defined and pronounced by the Merriam-Webster online dictionary: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/koine

Daniel B. Wallace has a nice, short history of Koine Greek at: http://www.bible-history.com/quotes/daniel_b_wallace_1.html

BibleStudyCafe.com Show: Sept. 4 Resources

On this week's edition of the BibleStudyCafe Show, I discussed the following resources:

1. BibleGateway.com, which allows one to research Bible verses in many versions, and conduct all types of Biblical research.

2. Rick Renner Ministries' Sparkling Gems from the Greek: I became interested in learning more about the koine (common) Greek language, with which much of the New Testament was originally written in, thanks to the weekly Bible study led by my Pastor, Dr. Lucius M. Dalton, Senior Pastor of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church.

Learning the meaning behind the Greek words of the New Testament really provides me with a deeper understanding of the Bible.

I recommend the Web site, Renner.org from Rick Renner Ministries. Renner's site offers a Greek word of the week, which Renner refers to as the Sparkling Gem of the Week. Renner also has a book and CD called Daily Sparkling Gems from the Greek, each of which contain his complete collection of lessons about New Testament Greek.

You can sign up for Rick Renner's mailing lists, including one that delivers a Greek word to your inbox several days a week.

3. The BibleStudyCafe, Ancient Greek word of the week is Gnosis, which means "knowledge"

The definition of Gnosis from bible.crosswalk.com:

1. the general knowledge of Christian religion

2. the deeper more perfect and enlarged knowledge of this religion

An example can be found in Romans 11:33 from BibleGateway.com: "Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments,and his paths beyond tracing out!" (New International Version)

BibleStudyCafe.com Show: Aug. 28 Resources

On this week's edition of the BibleStudyCafe Show, I discussed the following resources:

1. Pastor A.R. Bernard's show, "Faith in Practice."

2. Dr. David Jeremiah's "Turning Point" radio sermon series on the Holy Spirit.

3. The Ancient Greek word of the week is Dunamis. The definition provided by CrossWalk.com (http://bible.crosswalk.com) is strength power, ability

1. inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth
2. power for performing miracles

An example can be found in Acts 19:11, "Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul..." (New King James Version).

The phrase "unusual miracles" is "dunamis" in the Ancient Greek.

The modern day word "dynamite" from dunamis.

Our next show is scheduled for 11a.m. Eastern Time, Thursday, Sept. 4 at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/BibleStudyCafe

Listeners are encouraged to call-in with their favorite Bible study resources at 1-347-945-7963

April 27--Internet Evangelism Day

Hello friends,

I wanted to post the info below much earlier, but became bogged down with both illness, followed by a busy schedule as I was behind on projects.

Well, better late than never! : )

Below is an excerpt from a press release about Internet Evangelism Day. I hope you will support this bold, worthy effort:

Sunday, April 27, has been designated as Internet Evangelism Day. Churches can download free materials from the Internet Evangelism Day website. These materials make it easy for churches to create a short presentation about online outreach on or near that Sunday. A PowerPoint, video clip testimonies, drama scripts, music and handouts can be used to create their own customized program lasting from one minute to 50.

The people behind Internet Evangelism Day also provide year-round resources about online outreach. The ministry explains many ways that Christians can share the good news, including through church websites. Churches often find it difficult to create a site that will engage with outsiders in their area, and find themselves asking, "How can our church website help us reach out into our community?"

A new online tool released by IE Day provides churches with a free 15-page evaluation report. Users assess their own website by answering 55 simple questions. Their customized report is immediately displayed online, ready to print or save. The report's recommendations are tailored with specific practical suggestions, based on the questions that were ticked. View the evaluation tool here: www.InternetEvangelismDay.com/design

For more information, please visit:www.InternetEvangelismDay.com

Contact: Tony Whittaker, Coordinator, Internet Evangelism Day Tel: +44-1283-702334 (GMT office hours) email: InternetEvangelismDay.com/feedback

IE Day is an initiative of the Internet Evangelism Coalition, a group of online ministries, at Billy Graham Center, Wheaton. It is completely free with NO fund-raising component.

Have a blessed day by reading your Bible and sharing your love of Jesus with others!

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall

Bible Study Cafe, the Talk Show!

Hello friends!

The Holy Spirit has me busy at work on a new Internet talk show I'll host each week about Bible study resources at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/BibleStudyCafe

I hope you'll be able to tune into my live talk show online and even call-in to the show!

The free number to call-in is: (347) 945-7963

The show airs live on the following dates this month:

--Tuesday, April 8: 11:30AM (Eastern Time) --Tuesday, April 15: 11:00AM (Eastern Time) --Tuesday, April 22: 11:00AM (Eastern Time)

If you can't listen live, no problemo as the show will be recorded and be made available for listeners at any time.

Given that I'll be hosting the weekly BibleStudyCafe talk show, (which is basically an audio blog), this written blog will no longer be written daily.

Instead, this blog will provide info and resources in support of the weekly talk show.

I'm excited about this blessing, to be able to spread the Good News, to the uttermost parts of the earth, via the Internet.

I hope you'll listen!

Have a blessed day by telling someone about Jesus!

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall

Steven Kendall's New Talk Show

I haven't blogged in recent days as I've been busy preparing an Internet talk show that I will host on BlogTalkRadio.com.

This is real short notice, but... You are cordially invited to listen to my new Internet talk show, called "Write On, Right On, Write On!" on http//www.blogtalkradio.com/Write-On-Right-On

The program will be about writing and self-publishing tips.

This Saturday at 6pm ET, I will do a 15 min. practice run of my show so that I can get a feel for the technology. I'm pretty tired from composing, recording and uploading my theme music--wait 'til you hear it! A warning in advance...I will need piano lessons soon. : )

You can call-in during my show to speak to me live at: (646) 200-3542.

Hope you can listen tonight!
If not, no problemo, the show will be recorded and available online for free.

I hope to do a weekly show soon, so you'll have an opportunity to hear me run my mouth in the near future. : )

If you'd like to be a guest on a future show, please contact me.

God bless,

Steve Kendall

Christians Spreading the Gospel with Blogging

In Acts 1:8, Jesus told his disciples and us, that when we accept Him, the Holy Spirit will help us to witness to others: "... you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." The Internet makes it possible to witness for Christ to the uttermost parts of the earth.

I encourage Christians to use the Internet to spread the Gospel. Blogging, short for "Web log," is a great way to do this. Blogging basically involves writing short, diary-type entries on any topic, that one shares with the entire world. If you allow ads on your blog, you can earn money as well. Google has a great service that I use, called Blogger.com, which permits one to create a free blog and restrict ads to specific topics, such as Christianity.

Last year, the U.S. morning news program, Good Morning America, did a really good story on how one can use a blog to spread a message and earn money.

I currently have three blogs, the one you're currently reading, as well as a blog about the writing process and self-publishing tips, called Write On, Right On, Write On!, and Helmet of Salvation, a blog where I offer my opinions on topics of interest to Christians.

Have a blessed day, by spreading the Good News about Jesus!

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall

Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

Now that I'm a Christian, I wanted to view some of Billy Graham's older television specials. Those programs can be viewed at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Web site.

On this site, you'll find a multimedia section with videos of Billy Graham.

Have a blessed day by learning more about God by reading the Bible.

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall

Resurrection Sunday, Not Easter

A few years ago, the pastor of my church, Dr. Lucius M. Dalton, Senior Pastor of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, began to stress the phrase Resurrection Sunday, instead Easter Sunday, which I agree is a good idea, given the pagan origins of Easter.

The Web site, AllAboutJesusChrist.org does a good job of discussing the resurrection of Christ.

There are a number of great online sermons about the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Here are several that I recommend (look for the week of March 17, 2008):

Enduring Truth with Pastor Paul Sheppard

In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley

Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram

Have a blessed weekend by learning more about Christ and His resurrection.

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall

Maundy Thursday (Maundy.com)/ Book: The Last Week

Hello everyone,

I thought I'd take the week off from blogging, but given that this is Holy Week-- as observed by Christians who observe the week leading up to the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ--I was compelled to use this week as a teachable moment and a witnessing opportunity. Churchyear.net has a nice breakdown of this week day by day.

I'm reading an interesting book called The Last Week: A Day-by-Day Account of Jesus's Final Week in Jerusalem by Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan.

Today, I want to discuss Maundy Thursday. Never heard of Maundy Thursday before, or don't quite remember what it is? Check out http://www.maundy.com as the site does a good job of providing both the definition and historical background of Maundy Thursday.

Be blessed by telling someone about Maundy Thursday!

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall

Vacation Week for Steve's Blog

Hello everyone,

I'm taking a break this week from the blog and spending some vacation time with my family.

If time permits this week, I will post new audio clips from my recent radio appearances on my YouTube.com page.

Your Brother in Christ,

New teen Christian book by Author, Victoria Christopher Murray

Christian novelist, Victoria Christopher Murray, was a guest on the radio program, Crosstalk Urban Style, yesterday on Heaven1580am.com.

Murray discussed her latest Christian book for teens, Diamond (The Divas), about four teen girls who form a gospel group. An excerpt from the online promotional material reads, "The Divine Divas. They're fifteen and they're fine, and they want to be the hottest, hippest new girl group to hit gospel music. First they'll have to win the team talent competition. But with looks, energy, and voices like theirs, they are sure they'll go right to the top."

The author pointed out during her interview that she wanted to create characters for teen girls that were hip and holy.

I enjoyed listening to the interview and was excited to order a copy of the book for my daughter as the book features African-American, Christian teens.

My wife has read several of Victoria Murray's Christian books for women, such as Joy, Temptation, and Truth Be Told and enjoyed them.

Murray has two well designed Web sites for her teen and adult Christian fiction, including a clever MySpace.com page by the fictional Diva characters.

Have a blessed weekend by supporting Christian authors--buy their books (especially Christian fiction) and spread the word!

Echoing something Ms Murray said during her interview, when you buy a Christian book, you are voting with your dollars and prayerfully, publishers will take notice and offer more books of this important genre.

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall

Christian author, Sherryle Jackson: Soon and Very Soon

I met a fellow Christian author, Sherryle Jackson at a recent book fair and bought a copy of her new book, Soon and Very Soon. My wife quickly read it and thoroughly enjoyed Sherryle's book.

Here's a short blurb from the book cover,

"Everyone thought the ten month courtship and marriage between Willie Green, the strait-laced pastor of the traditional Harvest Baptist church, and Vanessa Morton, the dynamo preacher-pastor from the contemporary Mt. Pleasant Baptist church, was too soon. Neither pastor realized that after the nuptials, all heck would break loose as they planned to combine their respective churches."

Be sure to visit Sherryle's Web site, and support this Christian author by buying her book.

Have a blessed day by thanking God for making you!

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall

What Christians Believe: Chuck Colson interview

Author Chuck Colson discussed his book, The Faith: What Christians Believe, Why They Believe It and Why It Matters in a two-part interview on the Focus on the Family radio broadcast on Monday and Tuesday, March 10-11, 2008. You can listen online at OnePlace.com and read more info about the guest at Family.org.

Have a blessed day by counting your blessings.

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall

New Bookstore: Kingdom Living Bookstore

I want to thank fellow Christian author, Sherryle Jackson, author of Soon and Very Soon, for telling me about a new Christian bookstore in the Washington, DC area called Kingdom Living Bookstore.

Here are the details about the store: Owner: Irma N. McKnight Kingdom Living Bookstore and Publishing 301-292-9010 or 877-292-7733 www.kingdomlivingbookstore.com info@kingdomlivingbooks.com

Truths That Transform: Answering Skeptics of Christianity

Truths That Transform - the ministry of the late Dr. D. James Kennedy, 1930-2007, is running several of his sermons that address many of the questions skeptics pose about the Christian faith.

At OnePlace.com, you can listen to the archive of this series, beginning with Feb. 28, 2008, "Who Is This Jesus?" through the first week of March with messages entitled, "Are the Scriptures Reliable?" and "What Is God Like?"

I was able to hear one of the messages via radio this week, but will have to make time to listen to the series online very soon.

Have a blessed day by thanking the Lord for all that He has done for you!

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall

The Bible Experience -Audio Bible

I had an opportunity to listen to parts of Inspired By... The Bible Experience, which is an audio Bible voiced by African American actors and found it really compelling and quite moving.

The complete set, of both the Old and New Testament, can be quite expensive, but the publisher, Zondervan, makes this audio Bible available in parts and you can pay for downloads of individual books.

You can listen to audio excerpts and video clips of the actors at Zondervan's Bible Experience site: www.zondervan.com/tbe

Have a blessed day by telling someone about Christ!

Your Brother in Christ,

PBS Frontline Program: The Mormons

PBS is airing a repeat broadcast of their two-part program called, The Mormons, on many of their stations this week. You can also watch the program online at PBS.org.

I highly recommend that you view this program, especially if you don't know much about the Mormon faith also known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints .

Mormons, like former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, claim they are Christians, but when one truly learns how they define their faith, it becomes clear that they do not worship Jesus. The CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS & RESEARCH MINISTRY (CARM) site does a good job of summarizing Mormon beliefs. For example, Mormons believe the following...

• That God was once a man from a planet called Kolob
• Satan is the brother of Jesus
• The Book of Mormon (their addition to the Bible) is more correct than the Bible
• Each president of their church is a prophet
• Their church is the only true church. All other forms of Christianity are an abomination
• The list goes on and on. I urge you to visit the CARM site for the full list

Do you recall Mitt Romney discussing any of the above? Nope? That's because he didn't. A number of people who voted for him had no idea what he believed in and just assumed he was a Christian--just because he said so.

It is important in this era of New Age religions/cults for believers to ask others to clearly define what they believe.

Be blessed today by telling someone about what Jesus has done for you!

Edward Gilbreath's Reconciliation Blog

I don't remember how I stumbled upon Reconciliation Blog, the blog of journalist Edward Gilbreath, but I'm sure glad I did!

I'm a bit under the weather today, but really look forward to reading Mr. Gilbreath's blog entries and his latest book, Reconciliation Blues: A Black Evangelical's Inside View of White Christianity

Given that I'm a bit mentally foggy this morning, and can't wait to get back into bed and get some sleep, I'll be lazy and just quote Ed's bio from his Web site, www.edgilbreath.com:

"Edward Gilbreath is director of editorial for Urban Ministries, Inc., a national publishing and communications company based in Chicago. He formerly was the editor of Today’s Christian magazine and currently continues as an editor at large for Christianity Today."

I printed out several of Mr. Gilbreath's articles to read while recovering in bed today including his Jan. 2007 article, Exit Interviews: Why blacks are leaving evangelical ministries.

Have a blessed day by telling someone about what Jesus has done for you!

Clayton Perry's review of A.R. Bernard 's new book

Clayton Perry, founder of The Nubiano Project, an online forum which covers politics, entertainment, and cultural issues, recently reviewed preacher A.R. Bernard's new book, Happiness Is... Simple Steps to a Life of Joy for BlogCritics.org.

I'm glad Clayton brought his review to my attention as it is well written and rich with detail. I rely on reviews before making a decision about what to read or watch as my time is limited. What I like most about Clayton Perry's review is that he provides ample quotes from the book.

I've had an opportunity to listen to A.R. Bernard a few times and like what I hear, yet I'm a bit reluctant to fully embrace his sermons until I've read his book and done more research about him.

Some of the criticisms I've read online suggest he's devoted to the idea of Prosperity Gospel, but I'm going to judge his preaching for myself to see if it's Biblical sound and if the Kerygma, (the birth, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ), is the overall foundation of his teaching.

I must admit that I learned a great deal about the whole notion of General Revelation from A.R. Bernard's teaching series entitled, "Maximizing Your Value." You can read a detailed article about General Revelation at Equip.org.

General Revelation is the concept that God discloses himself to mankind through His creation (nature, the universe) as pointed out in Romans 1:18-20. And as Paul points out in Romans 1:20, because God has made Himself known in a general way through nature, man has no excuse not to be aware of the presence of God.

Further, as Scripture tells us, it is only through Jesus Christ that we have a relationship with God and therefore have salvation. Knowing about God is not enough, one must "know God," and have a personal relationship with Him through Jesus. A few key scripture passages one can read regarding the nature and role of Christ is our lives are: John 3:16, Colossians 1:15-20, Romans 10:9–13 and Dr. Charles Stanley has two good articles on Salvation and The Need for Salvation.

You can read my previous posts about A.R. Bernard from and Jan. 1 and Jan. 2, 2008.

Also, be sure to check out Clayton Perry's site The Nubiano Project. Mr. Perry has a wide variety of articles and resources one can use.

Have a blessed day by telling someone about Jesus!

ScriptureTea.com: A Refreshing Way to Spread the Gospel

Over the weekend my church kicked off a new Bible study series based on Coach Tony Dungy's book, Quiet Strength. One of the items my church distributed as a gift was a Scripture Tea bag.

I enjoy a cup of tea from time to time and thought the idea of placing scripture on a tea bag wrapper was a great way to spread the Gospel message.

These tea bags were created by Eileen Hadaway and are sold in some stores, but primarily from her Web site: www.ScriptureTea.com

On her site, Ms. Hadaway gives God the glory and credit for the product, "Scripture Tea is not about us, but about God. I have always kept myself in the background because I haven't done anything great. I was just carrying out the Lord's great idea."

I'll be sure to order boxes of Scripture Tea as gifts very soon.

Have a blessed day by telling someone about what Jesus has done for you!

StreamingFaith.com: Largest Online Faith-Based Portal

I recently subscribed to a weekly devotional, delivered via email by StreamingFaith.com.

StreamingFaith.com has a wide variety of video and audio resources from several ministries.

On their "About" page, Streaming Faith describes itself as, "The world's largest provider of Internet broadcast services to faith-based organizations."

I'll have to explore the site and read more of the devotionals to form a sound opinion, but from what I've seen thus far, it appears to be a site worth visiting.

Have a blessed day by telling someone about what Jesus has done for you.

Dr. Charles Stanley: Investing in Eternity

Dr. Charles Stanley aired a sermon on Sunday that really inspired me, called "Investing in Eternity".

Dr. Stanley used Matthew 28:16-20, often referred to the "Great Commission," a passage where Jesus instructs his disciples and all of us to tell others about Jesus and call them to become disciples.

In the message, Dr. Stanley made a good point that many people don't really know who Jesus is, and therefore don't understand Him. They may have an impression of Jesus based on faulty assumptions. It is our responsibility, once saved, to tell others about Jesus. We don't have to do this alone, said Dr. Stanley, as the Holy Spirit is available to help us say the right things.

Stanley also pointed out that we don't need special technology to spread the Gospel as word of mouth is typically used to tell others about Christ. I agree with his point, but value the Internet as I hope to use it as a tool to spread the Gospel to the uttermost parts of the world just as Jesus told us to do as recorded in Acts 1:4-8.

An outline of Dr. Stanley's sermon can be found online at his InTouch.org site as well as a Bible study lesson on the topic and you can listen (Jan. 21-22) or watch his Sunday, Jan. 20, 2008 sermon as well.

Have a blessed day by telling someone about what Jesus has done for you.

Dr. King: The Most Segregated Hour-- Sunday, 11 A.M.

In honor of the U.S. observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday, I want to call attention to something Dr. King said after a 1963 speech at Western Michigan University: During a question and answer session with the University President, Miller, Dr. King was asked, "Don't you feel that integration can only be started and realized in the Christian church...?"

Dr. King's response in part was,

"We must face the fact that in America, the church is still the most segregated major institution in America. At 11:00 on Sunday morning when we stand and sing and Christ has no east or west, we stand at the most segregated hour in this nation. This is tragic. Nobody of honesty can overlook this."

I believe Dr. King's statement rings true over 40 years later.

I was reminded of this fact while watching a story ABC News ran on Sunday, Jan. 20, 2008, about a small, predominently Black church, Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Coshocton, Ohio, that decided to close its doors at once a month or so and visit a majority white church.

I applaud ABC News for doing a story on this topic and I especially praise Pastor Cliff Biggers and his flock at Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church for leading the way with this effort.

Rev. Biggers is calling for a nationwide effort for at least 1,000 churches to visit each other on June 29, 2008.

You can view this ABC News story at: http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4163537&affil=wjla

A story about Rev. Biggers and Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church can also be found online with the ZanesvilleTimesRecorder.com

There are a vast number of sites where you can read more about Dr. King. I like the biographical sketch and timeline of Dr. King's life posted by the Louisiana State University Library.

MLKDay.gov is also a good site to visit for more information on ways one can honor Dr. King's legacy.

*I also highly recommend an article from the Monday, Jan. 21, 2008 Washington Post, entitled, "The Moment That Carried This Day." In this story, writer Allison Silberberg provides a wonderful, behind-the-scenes personal account about how the Dr. King holiday came to be. Ms. Silberberg was recently a consultant on the fantastic TV program, The Jewish Americans, a multi-part series currently airing on PBS. I plan to buy the DVD of this program someday soon.

Be blessed today by learning more about Dr. King and telling others about Jesus.

Your Brother in Christ,

Parenting: Enjoying the Process with Dr. Kevin Leman

Focus of the Family is airing a three-part program, Jan. 16-18, 2008, featuring Dr. Kevin Leman, who is a family psychologist, as well as a radio and TV personality. Dr. Leman is the author of several books including, The Birth Order Book and Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours.

I listened to the Wednesday program and found Dr. Leman to be Bible based, humorous and very practical in his approach to parenting. One tip that I'll try: When a two or three year old refuses to budge when you call them, try calling them, then walk backwards and they'll usually come to you.

On today's program, Dr. Leman addresses how to handle unruly teens, among other topics.

Dr. Leman will be holding a live chat online from 1:30-3pm Eastern Standard Time today, Thursday, Jan. 17, 2008.

Be blessed today by spending time reading the Bible.

Your Brother in Christ,

Bible Answer Man: Mormonism Week

If you don't know much about Mormons and what they believe, I urge you to tune into the Bible Answer Man show this week as host Hank Hanegraaff will feature a week long discussion of Mormonism.

You can find more info at Hank's site, equip.org, or listen online at OnePlace.com

Hank has a number of free articles on his site about Mormonism that are must reads.

By listening to the Bible Answer Man and reading some of Hank's articles, you'll soon find that Mormons DO NOT define Jesus and God the same way that Christians do and are therefore not Christians. For example, Hank points out in his article, Mormons--Can they Be Considered Christians,

"...the reality is that Mormons believe in a Jesus vastly different than the Jesus of the Bible. You see, Mormonism teaches that Jesus is just one of countless other gods--a belief known as polytheism."

In another article, "What is Mormonism," Hank Hanegraaf writes,

"Contrary to biblical teachings they also believe in more than one God, that God is a literal man, that men can become gods, that Jesus was the spirit brother of Lucifer, not to mention salvation by works and not by grace."

I urge you to learn more about Mormonism as its leaders, including Mormon Presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, seek to play down the differences between their cult and true Christianity. Romney says he believes in Jesus and accepts Jesus as his savior, but the Jesus of Mormonism is not the Jesus in the Bible that Christians believe in.

You may also want to read a ChristianityToday.com article about a Mormon scholar that Hank mentions on his show, Thomas Murphy, who argued that DNA testing disproves Mormon history and therefore the Book of Mormon, the foundation of their faith. Here's an excerpt from this article:

"The Book of Mormon details migrations of Israelites to the Western Hemisphere more than 4,200 years ago. According to the book, some of the people were Lamanites, cursed with dark skin because of sin. The current introduction to the Book of Mormon claims that Lamanites were ancestors of American Indians."

Murphy concluded, 'dna research lends no support to traditional Mormon beliefs about the origins of Native Americans.'"

Be blessed today by telling others about what Jesus has done for you.

Your Brother In Christ,

Steven Kendall
