The State of TrueLifeChristianity

Through much prayer, I have decided to close TrueLifeChristianity. The website is dedicated to those lost Christians who have need to gather hope, encouragement and inspiration through Jesus Christ. However, due to a variety of reasons, I feel led to move on from this site and concentrate on what the Lord Jesus Christ has next for me. I am going to keep this site open until March 31, 2024. ~…

131. “Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates The Claims of the Gospels” by J. Warner Wallace

131. “. . . Once he knew he had been caught in a lie, his alibi and confidence began to crumble. Jason was ultimately convicted of 1st degree murder. The jury was convinced that the original murder and said that the original notes of the detective were authentic and well preserved. . . .” ~ J. Warner Wallace

248. “The Insanity of God: A True Story of Faith Resurrected” by Nik Ripken

248. “. . . By the time of my visiting in 1998, after 50 years of governmental oppression to Christianity, no one for sure about how many believers there really were. Many experts estimated the number might be higher than 100 million. . . .” ~ Nik Ripken

247. “The Insanity of God: A True Story of Faith Resurrected” by Nik Ripken

247. “. . . By the time of Mao’s cultural revolution after 25 years of Communist persecution, there were millions of Chinese believers worshipping secretly in house churches throughout the land. By 1983, estimates suggested there were 10 million believers in China. . . .” ~ Nik Ripken

130. “. . . When I presented him with the original story, he not only failed to recognize it as his own, but he, also, admittedly denied ever making such a statement. Jason couldn’t remember or repeat his original lie. The more I talked to him, the more he exposed the fact that the original story was a piece of fiction. . . .” ~ J. Warner Wallace

(22) “FEAR NOT” - DAVID, KING SAUL, THE HIGH PRIEST ABIMELECH, HIS SON ABIATHAR, AND DOEG THE EDOMITE ~ 1 SAMUEL 22:23

“Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.”‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭22‬:‭23‬ ‭KJV‬‬ The picture up above is the High Priest’s garment the High Priest use to wear in the Old Testament, for determining God’s will. It is called the (click on) Ephod. It is interesting that Abiathar (the son of the high priest Ahimilech) he would choose…

129. “Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates The Claims of the Gospels” by J. Warner Wallace

129. . . The story he, now, gave to me was completely different from the story he first gave the detective. Gone was his claim that he was driving to a friend’s house. Gone was his claim that he suffered a flat tire. Jason now said that he was charging the oil in his garage at the time of the meeting murder. . . .” ~ J. Warner Wallace

128. “. . . I next arranged an in-prompto meeting with Jason. While the original detective was careful to take notes on the interview he conducted in 1988, Jason made no such record. With the passage of time, Jason forgot what he told the detective. The story he now gave to me was completely different from the story he first gave the detectives. . . “ ~ J. Warner Wallace

246. “The Insanity of God: A True Story of Faith Resurrected” by Nik Ripken

246. “. . . When Christianity was outlawed following WW2, the number of Chinese believers was estimated to be in hundreds of thousands. This was fruit of nearly a century of western workers who had not allowed into China until the last half of the 19 century. . . . ~ Nik Ripken

(21) “FEAR NOT”- Samuel’s Retirement Speech

“And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;”‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭12‬:‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Can you name some of the great judges over Israel in the Old Testament? Perhaps the names of Gideon (Jerubbaal meaning “let Baal deal with him since Gideon has torn down the alter of Baal), Deborah, and…

127. “. . . They had been carefully preserved in our department’s record’s division where they were originally copied and stored on micro-fish. I saw Jason’s original statement in the first detective’s notes and asked this investigator to meet with me. He told me about his interview with Jason. And without prompting him from notes, he told me what Jason said with great accuracy. When I showed him…

245. “The Insanity of God: A True Story of Faith Resurrected” by Nik Ripken

245. “. . . That strategy proved to be too little and too late. By the early 1960’s, illegal house church movement had spread so far and so fast that there was no containing the Holy Spirit. Even the re-arrest and re-imprisonment of the most influential leaders, like Pastor Chang, failed to quench the quickening flame of faith. . . .” ~ Nik Ripken

244. The Insanity of God: A True Story of Faith Resurrected” by Nik Ripken

244. “. . . Pastor Chang not only survived the government’s relentless campaign to wipe out the Gospel’s gains, he had also watched the number of Chinese believers multiply dramatically during his ministry. At a certain point, when there were to many pastors to imprison, the communist party changed its strategy and created the officially recognized and approved “free self church” as a means of…

243. “. . . These house churches spread like wildfire across China. David Chin had already given me an excellent overview of the church’s history and impact in China, and I had done additional research on my own. I felt that I had a good grasp of the major historical trends and milestones. Hearing the story fleshed out of the first person narrative of an active participant in the fastest…

(20) “FEAR NOT” - Using The LORD As A ‘Good Luck’ Charm ~ 1 Samuel 4

“And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it. And she named the child I-chabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband. And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is…
