Sharing important aspects of the Christian faith
A warm welcome to "CHRISTIAN FAITH"!
"CHRISTIAN FAITH" is a growing, non-commercial, evangelical website: run totally by keen volunteers. Our site has the occasional blog and article but it’s more like a large evangelical filing cabinet. You may be surprised how much ‘stuff’ is in here.
Our main aim is to help you to grow in your relationship with the Lord Jesus. Maybe for some, to actually find saving faith in Jesus.
We warmly welcome you to our site. Five local Christian blokes, from two different churches, serving the broader community together. (A 'bloke' is an Australian term for a 'man'!)
Free book: "BLOODLINES" by John Piper
John Piper has made his book, "Bloodlines", FREE as a pdf download.
"Bloodlines" is a book about racism. But more than that, Piper shares from his own experiences having grown up, in a Christian home, in the segregated South of the USA. It's a moving story as John Piper thoughtfully exposes the unremitting problem of racism.
He teaches how the Gospel of Jesus Christ actively undermines the sins that feed racism as well as reminding us that we take part in the bloodline of Jesus that is comprised of “every tongue, tribe, and nation.”

WHAT'S NEW AT CHRISTIAN FAITH! (#0048)

1. VIDEO Richard Morgan: From Atheist & Card-Carrying Richard Dawkins Fan to Born-Again Christian (VIMEO). For 25 years he was a card-carrying atheist and flaming Richard Dawkins fan. Hear Richard tell the story which is featured in the book “The Dawkins Letters” by David Robertson, 2nd edition. His conversion provoked a meltdown in the Richard Dawkins discussion board in 2008, and he was permanently excommunicated from the forum.
We have also updated the blog article: Richard Dawkins refuses to debate William Lane-Craig with some fascinating video etc!

Book Review - "Unseen Realities" RC Sproul
RC Sproul is my favourite Bible teacher. He has a magnificent ability in teaching the Bible and theological topics in a very interesting and engaging manner.
The founder and chairman of Ligonier Ministries, ‘RC’ (as he is often referred to) is the senior minister of preaching and teaching in Florida and is the author of many books and articles.
In 2011, he published a very readable and helpful book called ‘Unseen Realities – Heaven, Hell, Angels and Demons’.
So, what’s it like? Read on …
Persecuted Christians, Robert Schuller, David (Paul) Yonggi Cho and Scientology
With Christmas rapidly approaching many Christians, churches and groups are planning a variety of special activities. Some churches will organise special displays, others conduct special services and carol singing etc.
Many individual Christians will be involved, not only in church and family activities and preparations, but will try to do extra things to spread the message of God’s goodwill that comes at this special time. They may visit the lonely, give an extra gift to the needy, volunteer to help out at a Christmas meal for the homeless, or even invite an extra lonely person home to share a Christmas meal.
Most of us are so blessed to have the freedom and the joy to celebrate the birth of the One who came to be our Saviour.
At this Christmas season, however, there are those fellow-Christians who live in countries where they are persecuted and do not have the freedom to worship or spread the joy of Christ’s coming to earth.

Top 5 Common Christmas Myths!
It never ceases to amaze me that we, as evangelical Christians, preach emphatically the importance of truth - as we should! We often bag out the 'world' for its suppression of 'truth' but when it comes to Christmas ... well, we just like to go weak at the knees and surrender to the errors within the 'Nativity Story'.

'Sybil Exposed' and other World News
It was the late 70's and a very powerful movie, called 'Sybil', captured the attention of a lot of people around the world. In fact, not only was I deeply moved by the movie but by the book as well.
The movie, starring Sally Field, and the book portrayed the disturbing, yet real life of Shirley Mason (aka 'Sybil Dorsett') who suffered from Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) … or so we thought.
Our friends at Concerned Christians Growth Ministries have reservations about Sybil Dorsett’s actual real life experiences.

NEWS FLASH: Christopher Hitchens dead at 62
It is with a deal of sadness that we have just found out that Christopher Hitchens has passed away, aged 62.
For those of you who don't know anything about him, Hitchens was a staunch and militant atheist who spread the false gospel of atheism - a fact that must never be minimised.
Having said that, he counted a small group of Christians among his friends and was well liked by a number of theists who had been praying for him - especially his eternal destiny.
His brother, Peter, is a born again, evangelical Christian.
Christopher Hitchens had been battling with oesophageal cancer for some time and had contracted pneumonia.

More on Harold Camping - End Time Blues!
Recently, Terry Allen (CHRISTIAN FAITH) wrote an excellent article entitled ‘Harold be thy name – Camping’s date left behind’ on Harold Camping and his erroneous views about the Second Coming.

Religious News Snippets From Around the World --- Part 2
Thanks again to CONCERNED CHRISTIANS GROWTH MINISTRIES we bring you more news of what has been happening around the world.
We begin with the MORMONS (LDS):
USA – SEEKING TO BREAK DOWN BARRIERS – In 2009 a LDS sponsored study showed that nearly ½ of Americans knew little about the LDS church and its people. Recently the LDS have moved into an ‘I am a Mormon’ ad campaign. It started on the official LDS Church web site - with Mormon people describing themselves and their beliefs. The campaign continues with bill boards in some major USA cities. (Seems the LDS church thinks this is breaking down barriers and making them more welcome.)

Religious News Snippets From Around the World --- Part 1
Thanks to CONCERNED CHRISTIANS GROWTH MINISTRIES we bring you news of what has been happening around the world.
We begin with the Amish Community.
USA – It seems there is a group of U.S. Amish attacking other Amish and forcefully cutting their beards and hair, which is normally worn long. This might seem to be trivial but this assault brings anguish and some disgrace to victims to the extent that it has now become a police matter. For further information see Today News.
