Updated Site New Site - Gospel-Link.com

Those who read my blogs and follow me know that I was active with writings at times and became inactive later. I started the Gospel-link.com site in 2005 when there were not many websites with Christian materials. For many years I kept it up to date with many resources from different people. As more websites came up with excellent materials and as I got engaged in church planting and studies, I was not able to keep it up.

Now that I am done with my studies (more details later), I will have revamped the site intending to share the resources I produce by the grace of God. I have the desire to keep it up to date and also have few projects in mind for the benefit of the community at large. I will be sharing details about those projects later.

Feel free to take a look at the updated website and resources available.

Gospel Talk Podcast - Christmas Traditions

The first episode of Gospel Talk Podcast is out. The topic is Christmas Traditions.

Some of the questions answered are: -

• What is the origin of Christmas?
•  One of the most exciting things about Christmas for kids is Santa Claus. Where does Santa Clause come from? I don’t read about Santa in the Bible.  Can you throw some light on it?
• What is the actual meaning of the Christmas tree, is it truly symbolic of Christmas? Was there any particular tree associated with the birth of Jesus? Some people say “Jesus died on a tree” (cross) hence they use the tree as a symbolic reference for Jesus, yet others say it relates to pagan rituals or origins?
• I noticed that at many churches, there are not many decorations up for Christmas, why is that?
• In the biblical manger scenes, we see three Wiseman with gifts, were there actually three Wiseman because there were three gifts?
• Are there biblical references on when Christmas actually is because no one truly knows the date, how does this relate to the advent calendar?
• Why didn’t the early Christians celebrate Jesus birth?  
• What is the best way to teach our children about the true meaning of Christmas, so they do not get confused with what they are taught in schools?
• Why couldn’t God find another way to forgive the human race of their sins instead of sending Jesus down to die for us?

New Podcast – Gospel Talk

During December we did a Christmas program at Church in which two other people took my interview and asked me questions about Christmas and traditions. We felt it went very well and we sat down and came up with this idea to start a new Podcast- Gospel Talk. Our plan is to produce two episodes every month.  I am planning to add more details about each episode ion this blog as we make progress.
