Happy Belated Christmas, New Year, et al ;)

Hey,

Sorry for not posting much the past few months, I have been somewhat busy but I hope every one of you had a very enjoyable holiday season. I do want to share with you a great resource that I found: www.mitchin.com <- This website has hundreds of Christian apologetic and Christian philosophy resources in the form of audio (mp3) and they link to the sites that contain the mp3's. They basically are a type of 'indexer' or a 'google' of great sites such as www.reasonablefaith.org (William Lane Craig’s Website) and sites like “The Veritas Forum” (www.veritas.org) This site also contains some reading materials in the form of PDF’s. This website also contains many debates which make for great learning experience’s by listening to them and taking notes. I have listened to many debates 3 or 4 times over again to help edify my own faith.

During the past few months I have been scouring this site (Mitchin.com) and downloading and listening to many many apologetic, philosophical, and scriptural teachings. I love learning from people like William Lane Craig and J.P. Moreland!

Recently I was listening to an atheistic critic who basically made the argument that the only reason Christian’s do not sin or do not try to sin is to get to heaven or prevent [a Holy Righteous] God from allowing calamity from coming upon us, but this is not true! This person lacks knowledge of fundamental Christian tenants and beliefs. For all you atheists out there who believe that we try not to sin because we cower in fear of God have it backwards; we Christians try not to sin because we love God so very much. Just as a husband buy’s flowers for his wife to show his love for her, so a Christian tries to do good in the sight of a loving God to show love for Him for we have a living, personal and intimate relationship with God because of Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. I try not to sin because my God (The One True Triune and Only True God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) is my everything and my only thing. He is my latern of light in a world of darkness. No matter what befalls me I know that through Christ Jesus I am loved of God and I love Him. This is the hope of the Christian, this is the reason why we try to not sin and try to please him by righteous acts or time spent studying in the Holy Scriptures which He has provided for us.

I do plan to post some more in the coming days including the sermon recommendations and great quotes as well as a leaflet I found at my door in december from a Messianic / Jewish Christian group. I do hope that all 2.5 of you reading this blog (hehe) will continue to check back. Thank You.

“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.” -John 15:9 KJV

P.S. — How do you pronounce 2010? Is it “Twenty-Ten”, “Two-Thousand and Ten”, “O-Ten” or just “Ten”? Personally, I like “Two-Thousand and Ten”.
