8220;work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12-13, ESV. Why You Should Become a Christian: God Makes Logic, Rational Thought, and Science Possible.

Fear and Trembling: Why You Should Become a Christian: Jesus is the Best Teacher and Example
http://jkjonesthinks.blogspot.com/2015/08/why-you-should-become-christian-jesus.html
8220;work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12-13, ESV. Why You Should Become a Christian: Jesus is the Best Teacher and Example. There is no other religious leader like Jesus Christ. We do not care how many titles a person has, we will only listen to their teaching if we are convinced they are intelligent and trustworthy. That’s why Christ’s credentials as a teacher are so very important to us. What makes a good teacher? Miracles are contrary to the normal operation of the u...

8220;work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12-13, ESV. An Hypothesis Test for God’s Existence. I recently had the chance to comment on an atheist web site. That prides itself on requiring testable hypotheses. In order to gain any knowledge. I formed one of Alvin Plantinga’s arguments. This will be an observational study. This is a valid way of describing the problem at hand. We have data in the known universe. We can observe or experience this data. We can then u...First, we...

Fear and Trembling: Why You Should Become a Christian:God Has Done What He Has Done
http://jkjonesthinks.blogspot.com/2015/07/why-you-should-become-christiangod-has.html
8220;work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12-13, ESV. Why You Should Become a Christian:God Has Done What He Has Done. This post is an argument for God’s existence based on what He did when He created the world. Bear with me on this one, because this is the most intensely philosophical argument in this short series. The infinite regression cannot exist in reality. Whatever the first cause was, it must have always been and it must have the power and ability to bring abou...

8220;work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12-13, ESV. Joy to the Whole World. My favorite Christmas Carol this year is Joy to the World. (Please note that this changes each year.). This hymn stands out to me as the one song we sing at Christmas time that has a missions focus and a focus on end-times. The lyrics, with commentary inserted, are below. Joy to the world! The Lord is come. Let earth receive her King! Let every heart prepare Him room. And heaven and nature sing,.

Fear and Trembling: Tim Keller on Salvation
http://jkjonesthinks.blogspot.com/2010/04/tim-keller-on-salvation.html
8220;work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12-13, ESV. Tim Keller on Salvation. I have never found an explanation of repentance and faith as clear as this one. What must we do, then, to be saved? We must repent not only of our evil ways, but also our good ways motivated by the wrong reasons. This kind of repentance results in good works. All our righteous deeds are as filty rags. Our good works maybe arent so good. April 16, 2010. April 16, 2010. April 16, 2010. Subscribe to...
