The Importance of Our Christian Worldview

mikeandsus

“You are a king, then!” said Pilate.
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
“What is truth?” retorted Pilate. ~ John 18: 37 – 38a NIV
What Pilate didn’t realize was that standing before him was the very Author of truth.
In John 14:6 Jesus declared “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Christians need to be aware of and acknowledge the power of God in the spiritual realm. We need to have a natural history that honors God as Creator as an alternative to the secularism of our American culture. Finally, we also need to know and share God’s overarching plan revealed to us through the Bible and throughout history. Continue reading The Importance of Our Christian Worldview

Reaching Students and Faculty on Campuses

mikeandsus

The British university environment when C. S. Lewis was a professor at Oxford, was already skeptical and even scornful about Christianity. In the midst of that atheistic and agnostic terrain, he influenced his students for Christ, but he also knew that he could reach a lot more people with his writing, particularly through his stories, more than through his books on apologetics. The Chronicles of Narnia have never been out of print and are popular worldwide, selling over a million copies per year. The Narnia movies have exposed millions more to Lewis’ work.
C. S. Lewis explained the basics of the Christian faith in everyday language on BBC radio during World War II. His popular radio talks were later compiled into Mere Christianity. Our staff at Faculty Commons considers this book one of their most effective evangelistic tools. It continues to lead skeptical and atheistic professors to faith in Christ.

Rescuing Men from Darkness

“In His hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are His also.” ~ Psalm 95:4
“Porque en su mano estan las profundidades de la tierra, y las Alturas de los montes son suyas.” ~ Salmos 95:4
“… the Chilean TV says that 1,000,000,000 of people were watching the rescue of the Chilean miners.
“… which brings to mind Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. He gave His life as a ransom to rescue humanity, and has demonstrated that He is an expert at freeing souls that are trapped in the depths of the abyss.
“… it was humble men, who had no public or media relevance before the collapse of the mine, who installed the quote of the event all the different media platforms all over the world. I suspect that ‘Thank you Lord!’ was the general feeling of the entire Chilean population. Continue reading Rescuing Men from Darkness

In a recent prayer letter, we conducted “an interview” with Mike and our imaginary newspaper, “Schmitt’s News” to find out about a massive computer project, Connect and Care. SN: You’ve been intensely busy for more than a year… Mike: Yes, many of the staff of the Information Technology Group have been working on the Connect and Care system which will be installed in early 2011.
