Has Noah’s Ark been found on Mt. Arrarat? Some Chinese researches believe it has.
A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers say wooden remains they have discovered on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey are the remains of Noah’s Ark.
The group claims that carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old, meaning they date to around the same time the ark was said to be afloat. Mt. Ararat has long been suspected as the final resting place of the craft by evangelicals and literalists hoping to validate biblical stories.
Baby survives nearly two days after abortion. This is a frightening look into a grotesque practice.
The infant survived the procedure, carried out on Saturday in the Rossano Calabro hospital, and was left by doctors to die.
He was discovered alive the following day – some 20 hours after the operation – by Father Antonio Martello, the hospital chaplain, who had gone to pray beside his body.
Christianity Today’s Children’s Ministry page has an interesting article on bribing children to come to church.
Kids do all sorts of stuff without bribes involved. The secret is to give them something they don’t get elsewhere. Consider, for a moment, why many kids like gym class even if they don’t care for the activities. They likely believe the gym teacher is cool—most of them are, you have to admit—and he or she somehow makes kids feel special. Or why do kids thoroughly enjoy some classes and not others? Many times, you need look no further than a teacher who bonds with and affirms each child in unique ways. And why will a child who meets with a mentor eagerly wait for that special time together each week? Because of the relationship they share.
Church planter fired over “Beer and Bible,” outreach program. Apparently this guy committed the cardinal sin…I’m praying that the unnamed denomination is not the SBC.
He was allegedly let go because he drank half a beer in public during the new “Beer and Bible” meeting he started last month.
While he was told that was the main issue, he doesn’t have all the details because he didn’t receive a phone call or e-mail from the decision makers, he said. His boss, whom he respects and who had given him permission to conduct “Beer and Bible,” broke the news to him a couple of weeks ago.
He now has less than 60 days before he and his family – wife and three kids – are cut off from all funding and left “abandoned,” as he put it.
“It’s troubling,” Hill told The Christian Post. “We’re out here trying to reach people as Jesus would.
“It’s still baffling to me that when your boss has given you permission that you can still get terminated for something such as that.”
