<h3>[[God|Who is God?]] and [[The essence of ChristianityImage:Love-Of-God-Heart-800px.png|right|250px]]</h3>
*[[Christianity]] is the world's most widely practiced religion and although it has many [[denominationsGod]] and great diversity, all Christians are united in | [[Jesus Christ]]. At the heart of Christianity is a loving creator [[God]] who is also our redeemer. Also see | [[Coming to ChristHoly Spirit]] and | [[Important Christian doctrines and beliefsEssence of Christianity]] and | [[Christian CalendarTrinity]].
[[Image:Biblewithlight.jpg|left|150px]]<h3>[[The Bible]]</h3>The Bible is a collection of documents compiled into one book almost 2,000 years ago. Although it was men who put pen to paper, the Bible itself tells us that it is ''God-breathed'Current Projects'''. It is the most widely read book in the world and has been translated into hundreds of languages. In English alone there are dozens of translations in common use, including the [[King James Version]] and [[Bible, English, World English|The World English Bible]].
*[[Matthew Henry's Concise Bible Commentary]]
<h3>*[[Christian art, literature and musicIn the News]] and [[Christian Classics Wiki Library|Christian Classics]]</h3>

The [[Christian Classics]] library is a collection of public domain Christian writings, with works like *[[The Confessions Video of St. Augustine]], [[Pilgrim's Progress]] and [[In His Steps]].

There seems to be a bewildering array of [[denominations]]. Some of the larger ones include [[Roman Catholicism]], the [[Eastern Orthodoxy|Greek and Russian Orthodox churches]] and the wide variety of [[Protestant churches]]. Since the church was formed, [[Major events and important movements in church history|major events and conflict]], often over matters of doctrine has resulted in significant rifts in the church. }
<h3>[[Christian doctrine and debates|Christian doctrine and debates]]</h3>}
Various [[Creeds and catechisms]] have been written as statements of the beliefs of different Christians. Today there is still considerable differences in understanding on major themes in Christianity like [[Justification, salvation and grace]]. For indexes of all themes see <!-- DAILY'S DEVOTION -->[[Christian Topics]] and [[Sermons]]. See also [[Christian eschatology]]{| id="mp-lower" style="margin:4px 0 0 0; width:100%; background:none; border-spacing: 0px;"| class="MainPageBG" style="width:100%; border:1px solid #ddcef2; background:#faf5ff; vertical-align:top; color:#000;" |[[Image{| id="mp-bottom" style="width:100px100%; vertical-Ioannes_Paulus_PP._II.jpgalign:top; background:#faf5ff; color:#000;"|leftstyle="padding:2px;" |120px]] <h3h2 id="mp-tfp-h2" style="margin:3px; background:#ddcef2; font-family:inherit; font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; border:1px solid #afa3bf; text-align:left; color:#000; padding:0.2em 0.4em">[[Famous Christians]]Devotion Of The Day</h3h2>Some of the more well known Christians have included [[Paul the apostle]], [[Augustine]], [[Martin Luther]] and [[C.S. Lewis]]. Yet every person impacts on the world in some way. We may not remember who the man was that led [[Billy Graham]] to Christ, but he certainly has changed the world.  '''[[Testimonies]]''' of how we came to Christ (or perhaps how he came to us) can remind us that Christianity is about a personal relationship. It isn't ultimately about knowing things or doctrine. It's about knowing the person who can save you. See also [[Reflections]] and [[Daily Devotions]]. |-| style="color:#000; padding:2px;" |<h3div id="mp-tfp">[[Current issues|Current issues]] and [[News]]{{Template:DOD protected}}</h3div>|}Today, the Christian church faces many issues. There is a mass of people who have not heard the good news of Jesus. Christians around the world are involved in missionary work to bring men and women to Christ as commanded by Jesus in the [[Great Commission]]. At the same time, billions of people live in terrible poverty without clean water or the opportunity for good health. If we are to truly follow in the footsteps of Jesus, then these are issues that should be close to our heart too.

<h3>[[Cults and other religions|Cults and other religions]]</h3> The world is a mixing pot of religions. Some of the larger ones include [[Islam]], [[Buddhism]] and [[Hinduism]]. Other ones with origins linked to Christianity include [[Mormonism]] and [[Jehovah's Witnesses]]. What are the common threads? What are the differences? How is Christianity unique?
