Ecclesia Reformata, Semper Reformanda: The Church Reformed and Always to be Reformed

A Concise Explanation of What Christianity Is

From the Main Page of Theopedia:

jesus-christ-iconThe message of Christianity is that the God who created the heavens and the earth identified himself with the people of Israel and related to them in a way that pointed to the needed coming of the Messiah. This Messiah would atone for our transgressions, conquer the power of sin and death, empower us by the Spirit to obey from the heart, and gather his people unto everlasting joy. The Messiah came, was born of a virgin, lived and talked and worked in a way that identified him as the Only Begotten Son of God, and died on a cross. After three days Jesus triumphantly resurrected from the dead. He appeared to the apostles and over 500 other disciples. All who will turn in their hearts from sin and call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, trusting in him for forgiveness and eternal life, will be saved from hell and enjoy personal fellowship with God and his people.

The Changing Face of Christianity

From Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary:

Albert Hickman, Research Associate at the Center for the Study of Global Christianity, was interviewed on Faith 900 KTIS-AM about the “Changing Face of Christianity.”

The Center for the Study of Global Christianity collates and analyzes data on church membership and evangelistic activities collected around the world by Christian denominations. Combining this with other relevant data, the center provides an authoritative view of global Christianity available to various constituents for research and strategic planning.

This radio interview revolves around the changing demographics of the “average” Christian and its rapid growth in other continents.  To listen to this broadcast go here.
