Islam 101: 6 Beliefs, 5 Practices, 2 Types, 4 Resources

Kamloops has a substantial population of Muslims. We should understand what they believe and how they are guided by their faith.

“Islamic theology could be summarized as belief in [1] one God, [2] his prophets, [3] his books, [4] his angels, [5] his decrees, and [6] the final judgment. Islam teaches that humans are born spiritually neutral, perfectly capable of obeying God’s requirements completely, and that they remain this way even after they’ve personally sinned. The need of humanity, therefore, is not salvation but instruction; hence Islam has prophets, but no savior.”

Another great article on one of the various religions that inhabit Kamloops.

They want to know what God has done for you. My plan is to return from vacation and make this next year one of bragging about what Jesus has done for me."

Persevering in Evangelism

Here is some encouragement to persevere in sharing the gospel.

How other people stereotype your denomination

A Post-Website World

A church website is still essential, but the primary ways your church will interact with people are through numerous streams of communication, including e-mail, texting, and social media. Some will find your church through its website, but more than likely, they’ll find it through a friend on Facebook or Twitter who recommends the church, points to a video or story on the church’s website, or some other form of word-of-mouth communication.

Time Warped

Here is a fascinating article on time, what it is, and how we perceive it. Have you ever wondered why time slows down when we’re afraid, speeds up as we age, and gets warped on vacation? Here are some answers.
