Jesus says: “Come to me all who are weary and heavy-laden,
and I will give you rest. . . and you will find rest for your souls."

Vivid English Translation Of The New Testament
The Goal For This Translation: The goal was to produce a faithful rendering of the original Greek text in a smooth flowing up-to-date English that is simple, clear, pleasant to read and to hear, and that brings out the vividness of the original Greek text for its English-speaking readers and listeners especially in the United States.
The Nature of This Translation: It is essentially a literal translation that emphasizes a word-for-word correspondence with the original Greek text. In translating there were times, however, when there was a tension between rendering a literal word-for-word translation of the Greek text and the concern for readability and the need for a sense-for-sense translation. When the wording of a verse was less than an idiomatic English that would have been difficult for the reader to understand, the verse was translated sense-for-sense in a readily understandable idiomatic English. In many cases the literal wording of the Greek text was then shown in the footnotes. The attempt was made to maintain a literal word-for-word translation to bring the reader and the student studying the New Testament as close as possible to the original Greek text, while providing a clear, simple, pleasant to read English text.

Jesus' Last Week And Words 
|
Four hundred years passed from the end of the Prophet Malachi's ministry to the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What happened during those four hundred years of God's silence? What important events occurred, and when, during those centuries leading up to the coming of Christ and the start of the New Testament era? When Jesus did come, what did he do and what did he teach when? Then, what occurred, and when, during those very special days of Holy Week? And what took place, and when, during the hours of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday? What happened during the time that has come to be called Jesus' Passion? And after Jesus' resurrection and ascension into heaven, when his apostles went out preaching his name and proclaiming his gospel, what important events took place during that first Christian century? And when did the apostles write the various books of the New Testament? What are the historical details behind the Apostle's Paul's prison letters (epistles) and pastoral letters? You can quickly learn the answers to all of these questions on Christian Inconnect. See the New Testament History page.

The Apostle Paul said in Romans 10:14, "How, then, will they call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without one preaching?" To believe in Jesus Christ that we may be saved, we need to hear about him. And to hear about him, we need to have someone tell us about him. Yes, we need a preacher, whose scriptural sermons we can hear by which the Holy Spirit can enlighten us and build us up in our faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Bible Studies
Only our Lord knows how many times during my years of serving in the public ministry someone asked me, "Pastor, what does the Bible say about . . .?" And during those same years whenever a question arose about what was the right decision or choice regarding this or that matter, I asked the congregational leaders, "Well, what does the Bible say about that?" And then we began to search the Scriptures for the answer(s).
I think it is pretty safe to say every Christian has questions of one kind or another, including you. The best course of action for you to follow is to search the Scriptures also. On the Bible Study page of Christian Inconnect is an assortment of Bible studies. Why not take a look at them and stnart searching the Scriptures?

Prayer
Of the four gospels Luke's gospel especially tells us Jesus was a man of prayer, who taught his disciples about prayer. Luke 11:1 informs us that after Jesus finished praying, one of his disciples asked him to teach them how to pray. Jesus then taught them the Lord's Prayer.
Prayer is the living breath of the Christian. Prayer reflects the faith within the Christian. Jesus teaches us to pray. In Luke 11:9 & 10 he says, "I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given to you; keep seeking, and you will find; keep knocking, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it is opened." Being Christians, we also will want to know about prayer and how to pray. On the Prayer page of Christian Incorrect you will find documents on our Lord's teachings about prayer. Why not look at them and learn how to pray.
