• Who are we and, even more importantly, what do we believe?
• What is our purpose in putting together this website?
• Thoughts to keep in mind when reading your Bible.
• An observation on income and tithing
• A thought for today...
• Time is running out, folks!
• Christian Konnections website content is always free!
• Any and all donations are gratefully accepted by Christian Konnections!
• Help out the WebServant, please...

Christian Konnections is, first and foremost, obviously Christian, very conservative, very pro-life, very pro-family, very pro-marriage (between one man and one woman) and very patriotic.  We support a constitutional government and the Bill of Rights.  We hold fast to the principles and values expressed by the Founding Fathers of the United States of America and the Declaration of Independence.

We believe there is only one God who is in three Persons:

• God The Father who is the Creator of the universe and the Source and Sustainer of life.
• Jesus, the only Son of God, who came down to earth in the form of man, and being fully God and fully man died on the cross to redeem us.
• The Holy Spirit who is the Comforter, Giver of power and direction, inspiration and spiritual gifts, and is present in the hearts and lives of believers.

We believe the Bible is the Word of God. It was written by men under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is infallible in everything it teaches, and it is still inspired by the Holy Spirit every time a believer reads it.

We believe that all people are sinners and forgiveness of sins was purchased by the blood of Jesus. Salvation is only available by the Grace of God through our faith in Jesus' life, death, resurrection and our acceptance of Him as our personal Savior.

We believe that membership in the body of Christ comes through a personal relationship with Jesus, not registration on a local Church roll.

We believe The Holy Sacraments of Baptism and Communion were instituted by Christ and given to the Church as a means of remembrance and participation in His life, death and resurrection, and that He is present in the observance of them.

We believe that our life in Christ is meant to be lived in our local communities with other believers.

We believe that all members of the body of Christ are to be ministers to each other, their community, and their world according to the gifts given them by the Holy Spirit.

This website is a direct result of the culmination of years of thought and study on such diverse subjects as: life, death, friends (as opposed to acquaintances), other relationships (good and bad), marriage, parenting, grand-parenting, sins, forgiveness, forgiving, forgetting, failures, successes, Heaven and Hell, God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Church (its needs, failures and successes), salvation and Christianity in general.

All of these observations, thought processes, and introspection have resulted in the strengthening of our faith, expressed in our beliefs, which are stated above.

With all of that in mind, it has come to our attention that there are many people who sit in their church pews throughout the world, faithfully tithing every Sunday, believing themselves to be Christians but aren't and have no clue as to why they aren't Christians.  What do we mean, you ask?

• This is due, in part, to an over abundance of inept, unprincipled "Casper Milk Toast" preachers/pastors/ministers/priests, etc. that all too frequently inhabit our pulpits today. They routinely "water down" their weekly messages. Their excuse? They wouldn't want to offend anyone by being so bold as to preach the truth about Heaven and Hell!
• Sadly, the "pew potatoes" and the "wanna-believers" really have no clue as to what they need to do to become saved.
• Let us not neglect to mention the "wolves in sheep's clothing", better known simply as "Unfaithful Shepherds". They are the ones that purposefully, with malice of forethought, lie, cheat and deceive their followers. The good news is that their day of reckoning is fast approaching!

As a result of the above, we are very acutely aware that there are a multitude of souls in this world that are totally lost with many more that are quite confused. Sadly, for them, they too will soon be left with no options!

Please do not misinterpret our position with regard to pastors. Under no circumstances are we saying that all pastors fall into the "Casper Milk Toast" or "Unfaithful Shepherd" category. There are many truly "Good and Faithful Shepherds" who, being led by the Holy Spirit, are lovingly admonishing and feeding their flock the true Word of God! The only problem, as we see it, is that there just aren't enough of them to go around!

Obviously, not all of the attendees at Sunday morning services are devoid of the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ! Many members are "rock" solid Christians who will ultimately hear our Lord say the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant"!

Last, but by no means least, there are those brand new Christians who desire to increase their knowledge, wisdom and spiritual growth and, of course, the backslidden Christian who is desperately seeking to renew their faith accompanied by a willingness to recommit their lives to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Therefore, with all of the above now said, it is our deepest and most profound hope and prayer that this website will be of some value to even just one soul!

And, they that were in agreement said, "Amen"!

1. Remember: "Text, taken out of context, can become pretext!"

• Read several verses before and after the specified (recommended) Bible study text in order to develop the true context of the lesson.

2. Remember: "The Golden Rule of Bible Interpretation!"

• When the plain sense of the Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense, but take every word at it primary, literal meaning unless the facts of the immediate context clearly indicate otherwise. ~ Dr. David L. Cooper

If all that you are and have belong to God, then your total gross income, which God provides for you, should be the determining factor for your tithe, not your net income (meaning the amount left over after paying your taxes)! :-)

"Will a man rob God?  Yet you are robbing Me!  But you say, 'How have we robbed Thee?'  In tithes and offerings." ~  Malachi 3:8

Oh Lord, today is the first day of the rest of my life.  In order to make it through today, I ask for strength, courage, wisdom and most of all… love. 

In Jesus' name, I humbly ask that you bless my life today, dear God, according to Thy perfect will for me. 

And, in His name I thank you.  Amen!

Are you, your family and friends, Rapture Ready?

If not, we strongly urge you to get that way in a big hurry, please! ;-)

From the beginning, God gave both the angels and man an extremely volatile asset, freedom of choice.  Nothing has changed since the original working model, Adam, took his first breath.  The design specifications included not only a brain, but the inherent ability to use it.  God designed man to live forever.  That being the case, where do you plan to spend your forever (as in eternity)?

 Up, or Down?

As it was then, and always will be, the choice is yours... choose wisely!

If you haven't yet chosen to secure the "Up" option for your eternity (accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior), may we suggest that you do so... ASAP!  To find out what you must do to be saved, please go here!

And, yes, in case you hadn't already figured it out, Christian Konnections is solidly in the the Pre-Tribulation Rapture camp!

Hopefully, we'll see all y'all topside! :-)
