Mark 11:23  "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says." Often when we are faced with problems we pray to God for help and live our lives almost timidly until the situation is resolved. As Christians we should not do this. We have great authority on Earth through Christ. Jesus does not tell us to ask God to resolve a problem, look at Mark 11:23. Jesus tells us to speak directly to the problem with our authority through him. Words are powerful. Proverbs 18:21 states: "Death and Life are in the power of the tongue. As a Christian, our words have the authority and power of Christ. Have confidence in the words that you speak over things in Jesus' name. -BACChristian

The Democratic Party's flip-flop and the resulting anger and confusion about whether or not to put reference to God into their platform, highlighted the great weakness in our political system. The Yes and No vote is reminiscent of another vote that was taken 2,000 years ago, which resulted in the one-man steering committee washing his hands of the whole process. This is what happens when a nation abandons the Bible as its moral guide. It has no rudder in the stormy sea of human opinion, so it is driven by whatever wind blows the hardest. When the Bible is abandoned, the question is asked, "Is killing a child in the womb morally okay?" The answer comes from those who yell the loudest. The same applies with homosexuality and other moral issues. Abraham Lincoln once said, "Our government rests in public opinion. Whoever can change public opinion, can change the government..." That becomes a weakness and not strength, when the Bible is left out of the equation. ...

Fyodor Dostoevsky was a Russian author famous for books such as 'Crime and Punishment' and 'The Idiot'. It is of general opinion that 'the idiot', the main character in the book of the same title, represents Jesus. Whether this is true or not I cannot say, however one cannot help but see such resemblance - read it to see for yourself. Looking at one scene in the book, a certain group of people have backstabbed 'the Idiot' having written a nasty and offensive newspaper article about him. Whilst the Idiot is offended, confused and upset with them, he will not leave them and is willing to continue to humbly serve them if needed and to be their friend. At one point an on-looker becomes so angry with 'the idiot' for 'keeping acquaintance with such horrible people' (sound familiar?). She becomes even more angry of the fact that despite these 'horrible people' treating the Idiot so badly he will forgive them and continue to be their ...

One of the hottest topics in the Bible amongst BAC's and non-BAC's alike is the end times and the return of Christ. Everybody has an opinion on it and belongs to some school of thought over how and when it will all happen. Most believe that it is right around the corner - the latest catastrophe in the news being something very significant, some believing that the end times have already began. One thing that we can be certain of is that Christ's return is nearer than when we first believed. ( Romans 13:1 1 "And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed."). Revelation 1:1-3 1  The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified  it  by His angel to His servant John,  2  who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw.  3  B...

I Corinthians 13:4-7 4  Love suffers long  and  is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;  5  does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;  6  does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;  7  bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. To better comprehend God and the things He has done for us, we must be able to comprehend love; for God is love ( 1 John 4:8 ). The world is sinful and not of God, therefore it is no surprise that the world's perspective on love - God's greatest trait- is warped. This warped perspective that is forced upon us by our own desires and our cultures infects our minds so that we do not know the meaning, nor application, of real God-like love. This can cause us many problems, including very damaging relationships that can leave us hurt, angry, rejected, insecure, unfulfilled and empty (the list goes on...

2 Corinthians 12:10 " Therefore I take pleasures in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong." We can each relate to this verse in our own way. Whether you are going through very hard times in your lives, or are nervous about something which is going to come to pass, or you are involved in things that takes you out of your comfort zone; take encouragement from the fact that 'when you are weak, then you are strong.' When you are weak in yourselves, it is then that you are strong in Christ. James 1:2 2 " My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials." James tells us to take joy in trials. We do not take joy in trials because these experiences are pleasant. Certainly they are not. James 1:3 tells us a reason to take joy is because it produces patience. Another reason that we should take joy in trials is because it is during these times, when we are ...

To be self-centred is a trait synonymous with mankind. The first commandment is that 'you shall have no other Gods before me'. God should be first in everything we do. When we think about breaking this commandment, we usually think about the things in our lives that we put first, such as hobbies or other people, however most often it is ourselves that we put before God. We love to do things for our own benefit, rather than for Gods. Everything in today's world is geared towards 'me' and 'I'. We love these two words. We love to talk about these two words and we love to do things for these two words.  I will go on a diet to make 'me' look good. I will buy the latest clothes and fashions to make 'me' look trendy. I will do this to make 'me' feel good. I will do this to make 'me' feel healthy. Even things that we do to help others are very often done to benefit ourselves. For example, we do charity work to help others, how...
