Resources for Right Beliefs

2.2.10 - Resources for Right Beliefs

The past couple of Sundays during our worship time together we've taken a hard look at how, over time, our beliefs determine what we value/prioritize, which determine what we do & say in our lives. Beliefs --> Values --> Behavior. We saw this in Acts 20. And we also saw it as Paul encouraged his young disciple Timothy to "watch his life and doctrine closely, for by doing so you will save both yourself and your hearers" (1 Timothy 4:16).

A number of you had some great responses to the teaching of God's Word about this. So I've decided to post a few resources that might help you examine and shape right belief (what smart Bible people call "orthodox belief'), according to God's Word:

Here we go.

1. The first six days of a little booklet called "My First 30 Quiet Times" which look at some of the basics of Christianity. It's geared toward a new Christian. Includes some lively explanation as well as some verses to read and a prayer for each day. I've scanned these and uploaded them as PDF files. You'll need to go to our church website, under BLOG, to view:
Day 1 - What is a Christian?
Day 2 - How can I be sure I'm a Christian?
Day 3 - What happened? Gospel, Grace, Repentance, Justification, Atonement
Day 4 - Your New Resident
Day 5 - What really is Sin?
Day 6 - Forgiveness.

2. A Simple explantion of the Basics of Christianity from bible.org (Click here)

3. A test on what you know about Christian beliefs. Disclaimer for jaded Christians:
You won't feel all dirty as if you just endured Bible Trivia with your Youth Group (Click here)

4. A wider selection of various areas of Christian Beliefs (Click here)
