If you're interested to find out why the Biblical account of Creation as recorded in Genesis is the only rational and logical explanation for the existence of the universe (contrary to theories like Macro Evolution), you won't want to miss this video presentation below. (CLICK READ MORE below to see the full post with the videos). I consider this to be, as the title proclaims, "Ultimate" proof in the sense that there is no rational argument which can contradict these facts. Bold claim? Watch the video and see for yourself. Don't forget to share it with your friends as well! Have a comment? Feel free to leave it below in the comment section. Further description: Click to read more »

Baptism of New Life

“Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.” (Romans 6:4) In II Corinthians 13:5 the Apostle Paul encourages us to "examine ourselves" to see if we are truly "in the faith". In a world where "Christianity" is often "practiced" as a fashionable mode of operation or a regimen of rules rather than experienced as a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ, it's so easy to get sucked in to the "normality" and various pulls of life and forget that our relationship with Jesus should result in us living a new life -- a life in which our visions, goals, time and viewpoints are markedly different than the world's "me-first" prototype.

"... we have been buried with him through baptism into death ..."
Jesus was crucified (for us!) and buried in a tomb. In the same way our old life characterized by "me-first" priorities should be dead, gone and buried. (See Luke 9:23.) Click to read more »
