If you could share only 1 thing

[Cormack]

Over the years there are loads of videos, sermons, books and songs that begin, enliven or help preserve our faith. Besides the Bible, if you could share just 1 Christian resource that’s shaped your faith, what would it be?

I’d share an essay titled The absurdity of life without God, by Christian philosopher William Lane Craig. I’d share it with believers and unbelievers. Originally I read the essay online...

The Absurdity of Life without God | Reasonable Faith

Although it’s been done on video too...

The tone is dark and deep, but it’s also an amazing wake up call for people living without God. It’s a bleak look into a future without God. If I could share any 1 Christian resource, that would be the one.

If you only had 1 thing to share (with believers or unbelievers alike) what would it be?

My heart, my prayers. Ut oh, that's two.

My heart, my prayers. Ut oh, that's two.

It’s at least 3, prayers are plural

Thomas Merton's New Seeds of Contemplation. I read it long before I came to faith, but it definitely planted some "seeds" that bore fruit years later. I wouldn't recommend it to just anybody, but if their temperament was like mine I would.

I would share a hug.

Cormack,

I would share the importance of prayer and direct them to Secrets of a Prayer Warrior by Derek Prince. I read it early in my walk and devoured everything I could on the subject. I learned how pray offensively, defensively, to stand in gap, boilermaker prayer, and take ground. It made me stronger and willing to fight for everything God has in store for me. No matter the cost. It deepened our relationship and trust. I know He has my back and always will. Once you get that in your spirit a lot of things fall by wayside. Fear, doubt, hopelessness, etc.

Yours in His Service,

~Bella

Thanks @LaBèlla, @public hermit. I’m looking into them both, really good contributions to the topic. Sometimes we simply assume other Christians have heard about these things, but so much good goes unnoticed.

I have found the site at Biblecounsel.net to be much help, and I can ask questions there. We don't always know answers to life's problems, but our Bible addresses most things, and we certainly need "all the counsel of God", as He says.

JESUS


That is the easiest question I have ever answered!


The one thing that gets me about the question is "Besides the Bible", as if the Bible is a greater resource than God!

Is it that we Christian don't think of Jesus Christ as a resource?

I hear from Him everyday, He gives me teachings, instructions, encouragement, wonderful counsel, and so much more. So while the first words He told me were, "Read Your Bible" He is obviously the resource we Christians have that reshapes our lives - isn't He?

“It shall greatly help ye to understand the Scriptures if thou mark not
only what is spoken or written, but of whom and to whom, with what
words, at what time, where, to what intent, with what circumstances,
considering what goeth before and what followeth after. ”
