Syria deal provides respite for Obama but leaves questions on using force
The Syria accord announced Saturday gives President Barack Obama at least a temporary way out of a foreign policy mess that has dragged on for weeks.

Christianity is What Christ Says It Is

Thought For The WeekA. W. Tozer
Categories: Commentary;Exhortation

No one who knows what the New Testament is about will worry over the charge that Christianity is "otherworldly." Of course it is - and that is precisely where its power lies!

Christianity, which is faith in Christ, trust in His promises and obedience to His commandments, rests down squarely upon the

Person of Christ.

What He is, what He did and what He is doing - these provide a full guarantee that the Christian's hopes are valid.

Christianity is what Christ says it is. His power becomes operative toward us as we accept His words as final and yield our souls to believe and obey.

Christ is not on trial; He needs no character witnesses to establish His trustworthiness!

He came as the Eternal God in time's low tabernacle. He stands before no human tribunal, but all men stand before Him now and shall stand for judgment at the last.

Let any man bring the faith of Christ to the bar of man's opinion, let him try to prove that the teachings of Christ are in harmony with this philosophy or that religion and he is in fact rejecting Christ while seeking to defend Him!

Let no one apologize for the powerful emphasis Christianity lays upon the basic doctrine of the world to come. When Christ arose from death and ascended into heaven He established forever three important facts, namely, that this world has been condemned to ultimate dissolution, that the human spirit persists beyond the grave and that there is indeed a world to come!

Set your affection on thing above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:2 A.W Tozer
