CONTENTS


Christian Literature & Living is a monthly online journal devoted to the worship of the Lord Jesus Christ through literature, and through living according to His Word. We wish to introduce our readers to the best Christian literature, Christian devotionals, counseling, and to the understanding of the relevance of the Word of God in our daily life, in popular language. Christian Literature & Living is a cross-cultural journal, focusing on Christian literature written in all the languages, and Christian living around the world. We learn by listening to and reading our brothers and sisters in Christ from all around the world. We believe that any creative writing with literary sensibilities that focuses on the presence and life-changing ministry of Jesus Christ is Christian literature. We believe that we all need the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ in order to live a life according to His Word. Christian literature and other writings anointed by the Holy Spirit help us to develop a personal relationship with Jesus as the Lord and Savior.

WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
MAY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BLESS YOU!!

  • THE CHRISTIAN DETECTIVE NOVEL by ... David Brollier
    Writers make one of two mistakes. They either cater to the publisher to sell the book and end up with a very nice Sunday School story, or they water the Christianity down so much that the whole purpose of writing it in the first place is lost. Believe it or not the Bible tells us how to write. ... Through our characters we have the unique opportunity to display the ups and downs Christians go through.
  • DEALING WITH THE DEVIL by ... Pastor Dave Strem.
    The devil, despite popular fiction, is not an impish character that's half goat and half man with horns, a pointy tail, and a pitchfork. He is not simply a force for evil. He is not simply the dark side of humanity. He is not simply something in each one of us that wants to do the wrong thing. Satan has never been to hell. It is guaranteed he is going there, but he is not there now. In fact, Peter tells us clearly that Satan is roaming the earth as a roaring lion looking for someone whom he can devour.
  • THE KOREAN CHURCH, HOW IT CAME ABOUT, AND HOW IS IT ABUNDANTLY BLESSED! by ... Mark Waters.
    In my visits to Korea I saw that even today many non-Christians believe in the same traditions, such as paying someone to ask the spirits about their future and about relationships with family and friends. Still today, on certain memorial days, they set a table of food for the spirits of their dead ancestors, and they bow down to these spirits and the table of food. In the late 1800's, there was a calling and desire for missionaries in Korea. Some, with the help of the Korean government, built hospitals, and some help to bring modern education. As early as 1883, a school for interpreters had been opened by the government.
  • SATAN, THE ADVERSARY by ... James W. Skeen
    Why is Satan still free? Ezekiel 28:17b-19 give us a strong clue. God had a choice at this point. He could either destroy all who opposed Him or He could use this situation as a teaching tool for all His other creatures, as well as a means to show the world, all in the universe, who He really was deep in His core. I am inclined to think that angels understood little of the depths and quality of God's love. Just as God allowed rebellion in heaven, so He allows it on earth. The angels of heaven chose sides. The people of earth also must choose sides.
  • A PROPHETIC WORD CONFIRMED! As a Lamp That Shines in a Dark Place by ... Pastor Harold Brokke
    A great change of mind is going to sweep the Jewish people. Will it begin mainly in Palestine! No! It will be activated among the Jews all over the world. Several times the prophets speak about the events that will occur when the Jews repent in the last days. It is important that we listen to what the prophets tell us. They give light to the timing and the extent of that repentance. The reason for this article-the important issue is this: The repentance of the Jews will take place, not in Palestine, but among the nations wherever the Jews are scattered. Let's consider five witnesses ...
