Johnson, is our guest to discuss and highlight the importance of women and to introduce you to his book, A Virtuous Women.Throughout history, woman have often been marginalized. Yet this has never been God's design. In today's modern society, the woman who seeks to balance career, family, community service, and self fulfillment can find it all a bit overwhelming. This book, following the passages of Scripture found in Proverbs 31, reveals how God can help a woman excel in all of these areas in a productive and peaceful way.This book is both inspiring and practical. It encourages women to excel in all phases of life and even provides a "How-to" section that offers helpful recommendations for a woman who wishes to improve her life as a wife, mother and spiritual example of Christian character.In a world that often points out our failures and flaws, take this opportunity to celebrate the worth of womenThis richly illustrated, hardback book is the perfect way to honor and encourage the woman in your life.

I have spent my life for the cause of Christ reaching and teaching people to both embrace and live according to the truth of God's Word. I have explained the truth in Jacksonville, Florida for more than two decades. Over 300 teaching videos are available on our website and our YouTube channel. My teachings are known for being tough with truth but gentle with people. I have spent most of my life developing “Life Management Systems” for individuals from many walks of life. I believe that life lived properly can only be done when we understand the Creator has made us with divine intention and purpose. No matter what challenging, hurtful or difficult circumstances we may have faced, no matter how many poor choices we've made, everyone has the potential to experience and achieve a higher purpose. I have no agenda but your highest good.After graduating from seminary, I entered an itinerant ministry going from town to town and church to church. For five years, I spoke in high schools, university campuses, churches and open-air events. I served as a national youth director for 1,200 churches and published a youth magazine that was sent to about 10,000 teens.I've done mission work from the Arctic Circle to Central America. In addition, I spent three years in the former Soviet Union establishing new churches.I now teach at King of Kings Christian Church. I am married to Judith, a gifted interior designer, have two grown daughters and six grandchildren all of whom I love dearly. https://nothingbutthetruth.org/virtuous-woman/Be sure to follow, like and subscribe to Ann Beal's social media pages.https://www.facebook.com/annbealgettingbetter/https://www.facebook.com/livingwellwithannbeal/https://twitter.com/ablivingwellhttps://www.instagram.com/annbeal/https://www.youtube.com/annbealVisit Ann Beal's websites at:https://www.gettingbettershow.com/https://www.lifesolutionscoachingandcounseling.com/

I.    Truth and Religion  A.    Framing the great debate on religion and spiritualityTaking objective truth seriously in a pluralistic, postmodern setting B.    The appeal of the oneness claim (all religions teach basically the same thing): religious strife is eliminated. But this must be logically tested. II.    What are Truth Claims in Religion? A.     Defining the nature of truth: that which corresponds to  objective reality. For more on this, see Douglas Groothuis, Truth Decay (InterVarsity Press, 2000), chapter four. B.    Defining a truth-claim: a statement that claims to describe objective reality C.    The logic of truth-claims—rules of the intellectual system, rational analysis 1.    The law of noncontradiction: A is not non-A (contradictory statements cannot both be true; nothing possesses contradictory properties) 2.    Examples of the law of noncontradiction in religious  truth-claims a.    Buddha cannot be enlightened and not enlightened at the same time; the claim is that he became enlightened. b.    Jesus cannot be the Christ (Messiah) and not be the Christ (Messiah). The claim is he always was the Messiah. c.    If what Buddha affirms about reality contradicts what Jesus affirms about reality, then both Buddha's and Jesus' view of reality cannot be true. They could both be false if some other worldview is true. A.    This fundamental law of logic is a necessary assumption for all rational discourse. III.    Similarities Between Jesus and Buddha A.    Both are world-historical founders of major religions B.    Their lives are enshrined in sacred texts C.    Both exhibited profound compassion and gathered followers D.    Both emphasized the need to find enduring peace E.    Both taught basic ethical teachings on love and respect, versions of the Golden Rule IV.     Jesus and Buddha: Key Differences of Worldview A.    Do two major religions agree on core issues or disagree?  If they disagree, they cannot be one in essence; cannot both true B.    Documents on Jesus and Buddha 1.    Buddha: Large body of texts far removed in history from life of Buddha. Miracles are not central to the message (dharma) of Buddha. 2.    Jesus: Four Gospels (and the rest of the New Testament) are written a few decades after Jesus' time on earth by eyewitnesses or those who consulted them. Miracles are central to the message of Jesus. See Douglas Groothuis, On Jesus, chapter two. C.    The worldview of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha (ca. 566-486 BCE) 1.    Ultimate reality or the sacred—atheistic or agnostic on God; but nirvana exists 2.    The human condition—suffering is due to craving and ignorance 3.    Spiritual liberation/salvation a.    “Four noble truths”—freedom from craving through insight into the cause of suffering  1.    Life is suffering2.    Suffering is caused by craving3.    The cessation of craving leads to liberation4.    The way of liberation is through the Eightfold path b.    The Eightfold path—wisdom, ethical conduct, mental discipline c.    The afterlife: reincarnation/karma or nirvana (release from reincarnation) D.    The worldview of Jesus, the Christ (Messiah) 1.    Ultimate reality—a personal and moral Creator God (Matthew 22:37-39) 2.    Human condition—image bearers of God estranged from God (Mark 7:21-23; See Romans 3:14-26 also) 3.    Spiritual liberation/salvation a.    Repentance; turning from self-centeredness (sin) to God's authority (Matthew 4:1: Luke 24:45-47) b.    Belief and trust in Jesus himself for eternal life (John    1:12-13; 3:16; 14:6; Romans 10:9). You have to do something with Jesus c.    The redemptive power of the suffering death (Cross) of   Jesus Christ (Matthew 20:28; 25-28; Romans 5:6-8) 4.    The afterlife: Either fellowship with God and the redeemed or eternal punishment (Matthew 25:31-46) E.    Two momentous lives compared    1.    Buddha—a sage, teacher, and reformer. Sought          enlightenment through knowledge and experience;         shared this with others 2.    Jesus—claimed to be God in human form (unrepeatable) a.    Never sought enlightenment, but began ministry in power and confidence (Matthew 4) b.    Offered to provide forgiveness for sin against a holy God (Mark 2:1-12; John 3:16-18) c.    Claimed to be one with a personal God (John 8:58; John 10:22-31) IV.    Conclusion: Between Jesus and Buddha— Gospel or Dharma? A.    Buddhism and Christianity cannot both be true; they contradict each other on crucial matters of worldview and spirituality: A cannot be non-A (the law of noncontradiction) B.    Objective truth and spiritual reality should be the overriding concern for spiritual seekers C.    Final reflection on suffering and hope (crucial test for any worldview) 1.    Buddha: transcend suffering through mental discipline and dehumanization (nirvana) 2.    Jesus: embrace redemptive suffering because of the fallen nature of the world. Jesus' own suffering on the Cross provides the way of liberation for individuals. a.    Jesus and the death of Lazarus (John 11) b.    Jesus on the Cross: “My God, my God. Why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34) c.    Resurrection of the body and the afterlife (1 Corinthians 15) D.    Jesus offers meaning in suffering and purpose in life through his life, death, and resurrection Recommended Reading 1.    Douglas Groothuis, On Jesus.
