Earlier this week was the annual observance of World AIDS Day. In recent years a lot of attention has been given to dealing with the wide-spread problem of HIV/AIDS in Africa—primarily focusing on prevention, medical advancements and education. While these programs have been successful in lowering the number of cases, they often fall short of dealing with the broad scope of the problem.
This feature reports on what Wycliffe International is doing to reach out to those suffering with HIV/AIDS and how they minister to the whole person in the process.
Guests include:
Robin Rempel, Uganda Literacy and Scripture Use Coordinator, Wycliffe
Lydia Teera, Uganda Missionary for Wycliffe International
Timothy Bandirana, Coordinator of the Bwisi Translation and Literacy Team for Wycliffe
The resource Konde’s Story is available online.

We’re all familiar with the story of the Pilgrims; their journey to America, and the hardships they faced in the first years here. Not many of their names are familiar to us today, yet their legacy lives on. This feature takes a look at the life of one of these pilgrims, William Brewster—through the eyes of Governor William Bradford and his history entitled: Of Plymouth Plantation.
Here are a few select portions of the book.

The book of Acts, like the gospel of Luke, is written to someone referred to as: “most excellent Theophilus.” There are many differing explanations of who this may be—one common suggestion is that he is some sort of Roman official.
This feature is a conversation with John Mauck, a lawyer who believes Theophilus was a legal official in Rome, which leads him to conclude that the book of Acts is actually a legal brief.
Paul on Trial is published by Thomas Nelson and available through Amazon.com.

In 1963 Harry Blamires published his classic book entitled: The Christian Mind. His opening words are memorable, he writes: “There is no longer a Christian Mind.”
In the 46 years since, Christian philosophers, theologians and scholars have fought to recapture lost ground. I recently had an opportunity to sit down with three theology professors from the Moody Bible Institute to talk about the issue of “Christian scholarship.”
Guests include:
Bryan Oneal, Assistant Professor of Theology
Marcus Johnson, Assistant Professor of Theology
Dr. David Finkbeiner, Professor of Theology

James chapter 1 encourages us as Christians to look differently at the trials of life: “knowing that the testing of our faith produces patience.” Almost sounds easy doesn’t it? It’s one thing to say it when life is going well, but a different thing all together when it comes time to live it out.
I recently spoke with Beth Chilcoat about her family’s experience with ALS and how they learned first hand the truth of James 1.
Beth is the editor of a new book entitled: Nobody Tells a Dying Guy to Shut Up, excerpts from her husband’s on-line journal which he kept throughout the disease.

Atheists claim that God doesn’t exist. Many, like Richard Dawkins attempt to use science to support their claim. In response, many Christians have pointed to creation as evidence for design, which infers a designer or ultimate cause. This in turns often leads the Atheist to ask: “So who made God?” It’s a challenging question; Dr. Edgar Andrews helps us answer this question.
Who Made God is published by EP Books and is available through their website or through CBD.

In John chapter 17 Christ prays for his disciples and the future church that “they would be one as He and the Father are one.” The Apostle Paul often prayed that the church would be “humble and like-minded.” Unity is an important mark of a healthy church, both locally and globally.
Pastor Anthony Carter of East Point Church in East Point, GA, helps us think about this issue. He has an article in the upcoming December 2009 edition Table Talk Magazine entitled: “Out of Many, One.”
On two previous occasions we have discussed this basic issue, the features are available below:
