In my many years of living, it seems like instead of an evolutionist proclaiming hard scientific evidence in favor of the theory of evolution, they seem to be more intent on telling creationists they should not hold on to creationism. Although, if you look at it with proper objectivity, creationism deserves at least the common respect given to any theory.

If the name Westboro Baptist Church doesn’t ring a bell, I’ll give you a few clues. Westboro Baptist protest the funerals of American soldiers who have been killed in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. They hold up signs that say things like “Thank God for Dead Soldiers” and “God, America‘s Terror.”

When we talk about success in the kingdom of God, I often ask myself these very questions: What is success? How do I know when I've reached success? How do I measure success? There seems to be a couple of categories that are often talked about. But, let's look at what I believe to be the most important area that this is often looked at. This is church growth through evangelism. If I have success in business, it usually means that I made a lot of money and that sales are up. But when working in the church of Jesus Christ, we must be careful which model we use.

The story of Jesus with the Women at the Well is probably one of the most read (as well as the most taught) Scriptures I believe in the New Testament. Some believe this Scripture shows how we the believer the need to develop relationships with those whom we wish to evangelize.

If you were to ask a great deal of people “What is a Christian”, they would say something like:

1. It’s a person who believes in Jesus Christ as the Savior of Mankind.
2. It’s a person who has been forgiven of all their sins and transgression.
3. It’s a person who now reads the Bible and goes to Church.
