We are grateful to the Lord for a tremendous opportunity to spread His Gospel. On March 20-22, The Christian Book Expo will be held in Dallas, Texas. The CBE is open to the public and is a convention where dozens of major publishers and retailers exhibit their latest Christian books and products. Hundreds of the world's leading authors will be present to give workshops, sign books, and interact with the public. God has blessed Aletheia with the opportunity to have Abdu be one of those featured authors!

As a Messianic or “completed” Jew, one who has accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, I am often asked “why the church does not embrace the Jewish Holidays, instead of “Christianizing” them?

A couple days ago, ABC’s Nightline hosted a debate between Christians and atheists. The debate, titled “Does God exist?”, hosted the well known childhood actor Kirk Cameron, now a Christian evangelist, and his colleague in ministry Ray Comfort, squaring off with two individuals from the “Rational Response Squad”, a group dedicated to promoting the atheistic worldview. (Information on the debate, along with video clips, can be found at NBC’s website at http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/story?id=3148940&page=1).

It's getting close to Easter and that means several things. It means that believers, even nominal believers, are enjoying Lent, Churches are putting together their Easter programs, and sincere seekers are carefully considering the credibility of the Gospel message. But it also means one other thing that seems to have become something of a tradition this time every year -- the skeptics champion another controversy that challenges the veracity of the Resurrection of Jesus, the central claim of Christianity.
