"I will hear what God the LORD will speak, for He will speak peace to

His people and to His saints"  Psalm 85:8  NKJV

 

This page is dedicated to presenting a collection of materials currently out there on the web that should be of interest to those in Christian Brethren (CB) circles and to the wider christian church as well.

 

There are some doctrines that are central to faith, like salvation in Christ alone, then there are others that are not. The general Open or Christian Brethren view is that if a person is genuinely saved through simple faith according to Scripture, then they are my brother or sister in Christ. Other issues are discussion points within the family that may mean that while you may dwell with those of like mind in the outworking of your faith, we are still all children of the one Father, baptised in the one Spirit, and under the one Lord Jesus.

 

Not all views here listed are endorsed by all CB, but are simply presented for your spiritual growth and understanding of the issues. Iron sharpens iron! So let us discuss, debate, persuade in love - but never belittle, destroy, ridicule or hold contempt for another brother or sister in Christ. Indeed, Jesus said,  "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." Jn 13:35

RAVI ZACHARIAS INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES

 

The primary mission of RZIM is to support, expand, and enhance the preaching and teaching ministry of Ravi Zacharias, distinctive in its strong evangelistic and apologetic foundation, intended to touch both the heart and the intellect of the thinkers and opinion-makers of society with the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We address the intellectual and essential assumptions of our culture, realizing that for some, the door to the heart is through the mind, and for others through the imagination. RZIM is committed to reaching this generation around the world—in the university, the arts, politics, business and the Church. Through open forums, community outreach, youth apologetics, various media and social awareness, we seek to remove the barriers to the Cross for the sceptic as we prepare Christians to give a reason for the hope within us.

ARIEL MINISTRIES

Ariel Ministries, created to evangelize and disciple our Jewish brethren, has been born from necessity to meet an urgent need. Ariel means “Lion of God,” representing the Messiah Yeshua as the Lion of Judah. It is also an alternate name for Jerusalem (Isaiah 29:1) — the city of peace now waiting for the Prince of Peace to return. Ariel Ministries has plunged directly into the mainstream of Jewish missions by combining the two key areas of evangelism and discipleship, with a heavy emphasis on Bible theology and doctrine. We seek to develop a balanced program of reaching out to others, as we grow in maturity ourselves.

Dave Ramsey - the voice of financial wisdom

Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, an extremely popular national radio personality and best-selling author of The Total Money Makeover. In his latest book, a follow-up of his enormously successful New York Times best-sellers Financial Peace and More Than Enough, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others. Ramsey knows first-hand what financial peace means in his own life – living a true rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches story. By age twenty-six he had established a four-million-dollar real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age thirty. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right – financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Ramsey offers life-changing financial advice as host of a nationally syndicated radio program, "The Dave Ramsey Show," which is heard by more than 4.5 million listeners each week, on more than 425 radio stations throughout the United States.

Deception in the christian church is rampant and is being fuelled by a lack of discernment, not just from the 'leaders' of churches, but by the whole body of believers (you and me). We are told to be on guard against false doctrine, false teachers and false prophets. But most of us do not have the time to do background checks on preachers and teachers, or the latest fad ministry wave sweeping christian churches to compare the teachings to the Word of God. The good news is that WE don't have to!  In this information age of computers and internet, we have easy access to numerous articles critiquing all and sundry, and once we have established that the writers stand on the solid Word of God in the Bible, we can benefit from their diligence and hard work in exposing the misinterpretations, false assumptions, lies and deceit of those who would bring in a "different gospel" than that which was delivered to us in God's Holy Word. You can start your research with these topics:

 

 

Excerpt: This is a ministry of the Apologetics Coordination Team (ACT). The articles, booklets and media by Sandy Simpson, webmaster of the 'Deception In The Church' website, do not necessarily reflect the views of any mission or church organization that Mr. Simpson is affiliated with. The other articles on these pages are from a wide variety of denominations and authors. I do not agree with every statement made in them. It has never been the goal of this web page to mock or deride people, but rather to provide resources so that the Christian community can have frank and open discussions about deception in the church, and provide solid Scriptural apologetics with which to contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints. Some of the topics are:

Dispensationalism is a doctrine that has profoundly affected evangelical Christianity over the last 100 years. If you attend an evangelical church, chances are your beliefs have been shaped or affected in some way by this doctrine. And yet, despite the blessing it has brought over the years, today dispensationalism is under attack from without and from within. The page at BrethrenOnline.org is intended to be a source of helpful teaching on the topic of dispensationalism.
