Following are two illustrations of the Trinity that you have permission to download and share.
The first is an explanation from the church father, Tertullian, who coined the word, “Trinity” and defined it as “una substantia; tres personae” or One Substance; Three Persons.
The second is the classical illustration of the Trinity in contrast with the incorrect, heretical views of Modalism and Arianism. Click on each image to download a PDF of it. [Read more…]
The validity of any religion or belief system is only as secure as the documents upon which it is based. Particularly with issues as important as one’s eternal destiny and how to live a fulfilling life, it only makes sense to base your belief system on a solid foundation. As this infographic shows, the New Testament gives us the historically valid history of Jesus, his life, death, and resurrection, and the history of the founding of the Christian Church and its doctrines rests on a solid textual history.

The historical books that cover this time include Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther and they are in our Bibles just before the middle of it. The books that contain the messages of the prophets during and shortly following this time, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi are at the very end of the Old Testament. In addition, the book of Esther takes place shortly after the start of Ezra. [Read more…]
I have always had a hard time figuring out the final years of the Southern Kingdom of Israel before it went into captivity, especially figuring out who was king and when.
It doesn’t help at all that one of the major books about the time, Jeremiah isn’t in order in how he relates God’s judgment—he jumps back and forth between various kings and with their similar names, Jehoiakim, Jehoiakim, and Jehoahaz, plus their father/grandfather Josiah—I got confused.

Introductory note from Yvon: I created this infographic to go along with the lesson, The Fall of Israel, How Falling is Never Final with Our God. A key part of that lesson is the importance of the proper dating of when God gave the children of Israel His laws and the repeated warnings of the prophets before judgment came. [Read more…]
I was reminded of the importance of follow-up from the example of Jonah, (CLICK HERE to see the lesson on Jonah) who didn’t stay around to do any kind of follow-up after his great revival at Nineveh. I couldn’t help but wonder if history had been different if he had but we know he didn’t and they returned to their violent, evil ways and in less than 50 years later brutally conquered Israel.

Many Christians are confused about how the Holy Spirit works in the life of a Christian and this infographic and short video may help. [Read more…]
What does it mean to be a Christian? What is Christian salvation all about?
This infographic and the verses included with it explain the meaning of what Christian salvation is all about. [Read more…]
God is the ultimate author of the Bible, though He inspired human writers to put His message into the form we have it. Because of that, and because it is written from His viewpoint, how He talks about time can sometimes be confusing to us because He is outside of time and sees the past, present, and future simultaneously.
I created this infographic and the short video that goes with it, to help you visualize it (though admittedly, we may never fully understand it).

It is important however to attempt to understand it or at least accept it for the prophecy in the Bible to make sense. If God is outside of time it is not hard to imagine that He can speak confidently about future events. He can then inspire the writers of scripture to write about them accurately hundreds, sometimes thousands of years before they happen.
If you don’t understand God’s view of time and accept the reality that He is outside of it and can speak in this way, then you are forced into the anti-supernaturalist explanation that all of prophecy was written after the fact.
When looked at objectively, this view becomes tortured and ultimately rather goofy. Instead of accepting that various prophets, with clear time stamps of their writing and thousands of years of tradition, spoke when the Bible said they did, and that they could correctly foretell the future because the God outside of time spoke through them, those who don’t believe that lump all the prophets into some vague, anonymous group who somehow wrote all these books sometime, somewhere (with no historical verification of any of this) after the Babylonian captivity.
They are still left with over 300 prophecies about Jesus that he specifically fulfilled. [Read more…]
Under
