World Religions
I have had the joy over the past four weeks to teach a World Religions course at Victory University. What a privilege to interact with 27 students regarding their own faith in Christ in light of a study of Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, several cults and new religious movements.
We began our course with Christianity, taking a look into what it means to be an effective cross-cultural worker for Christ. So far we have studied ancient religions of Iraq and Iran, Judaism, and we are about to dig into Hinduism. We hope to visit a Hindu temple this weekend.
We are reminded that God reigns supreme. He is Lord of all. He is the one true God and there is no other before Him.
Each of us who knows Christ has a responsibility to know what we believe, understand what others believe, pray for them, learn effective cross-cultural Gospel communication, and give an answer for the faith we have in Jesus. This knowledge of Christ is faith that requires a response. A lack of response, is actually a response with clear results.
My growing concern is that we Christians don’t even know what we believe, much less, how to relate our own faith with people from another religions.
Find out, today, what it is that you believe and in whom it is that you put your faith.
That All May Hear
