Brand New From Truth For Life!

Are all spiritual gifts described in the Bible still active today? Christians vary widely in their answer to this question. In fact, more division and controversy ensue here than in any other area of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. And yet we must arrive at a biblical perspective on this crucial issue while recognizing that not all Christians will agree on everything.

“We encourage you if you have a heart for partnering with a ministry focused on spreading the truth of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to become a Truthpartner!”

The question “Are you born again?” has been a familiar one in evangelical churches of the last century, and it has been common for people to describe themselves as “born-again” Christians. Yet many, even in Christian circles, may hear a question like that and say, along with Nicodemus, “Born again! … What do you mean?” (John 3:4, TLB). In the popular understanding of these words, there is a great deal that is misunderstood, and the resulting confusion can be a barrier to faith.

What is the purpose of spiritual gifts? The New Testament shows they are given to strengthen the church and are a picture of divine unity in the body of Christ. In light of this, it should grieve us when they become a point of division in our fellowships. Yet there are few areas of biblical doctrine that are more prone to produce mistrust and judgment among us than this one.

Truthpartners are vital to Truth For Life because their faithful and consistent monthly giving provides the stable income that pays to: 

Could you write the story of how you came to faith in Jesus in a hundred words or less?
I well remember when I was given that assignment. It was at the University of Aberystwyth in Wales. An American couple, who were in due course to become my in-laws, sponsored my attendance at an institute of biblical studies under the auspices of Campus Crusade for Christ (now CRU). I must confess that my initial response was somewhat negative: Why does there have to be a word count? Ought we not just tell our story without such pressure? But then I realized the purpose of the exercise was to encourage us to be able to share our faith in a form that was easy to understand.

Jesus’ ministry was expansive and comprehensive. Men and women turned to Him in faith, and their lives were dramatically changed. Matthew 9:35 tells us He “went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom.” By His works and the power of His words, He brought the kingdom of God to the people of Israel.
