The Uniqueness of Christ

Jesus is the only way to God; this message compares Christianity with other religions.

September 21, 2003 • D. James Kennedy, Ph.D

Jesus Christ has no peers. You cannot put all the founders of religions in a line and worship them all. He is the solitary One who rises higher above all of the rest, higher than Mount Everest rises above an anthill. He is the unique figure. There are many religions, but only one Gospel; there are many teachers, but only one Savior of the world—Jesus Christ. Sadly, in our day of multi-culturalism, where one religion is as good as the next, it sounds like heresy to say these things.

Life: An Inalienable Right

January 19, 1992 • D. James Kennedy, Ph.D

Our Declaration of Independence declares, “…all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Dr. Francis Schaeffer said in one of his last messages that the right of life is more fundamental and basic than the right even of liberty or the pursuit of happiness, or any other right, for that matter. Indeed, if you are lying in your coffin, you do not care how many shackles and chains have been wrapped around you. Nor do you care how much money you have in your bank account. Without life, nothing else means anything. Tragically, this right to life is being denied to millions of unborn Americans through abortion.

Salt and Light

March 19, 1995 • D. James Kennedy, Ph.D

When someone is the "salt of the earth," that means they are valuable. However, salt also stings. Are you willing to "sting" as you stand up for Christ? Dr. Kennedy explains how Christians are both to evangelize (being light in this dark world) and to fulfill the cultural mandate (being salt). Vance Havner said, “Humanity is a decaying carcass awaiting the vultures of judgment.” So, my friends, it really comes down to this: We are either the carcass or the salt. Which are you today?

Will the Church Forget?

May 25, 1997

Will the Church forget that it plays an important role in society by speaking out on the moral issues? Long Description: Dr. Kennedy encourages pastors to speak out on the important moral issues of our day in his message, "Will the Church Forget." Down through the centuries churches have been the ones who have moved to get rid of most of the great evils of our world, like slavery, cannibalism, prison reform, child labor laws, to name a few. We are involved in a great conflict for the soul of this nation. Let us not be mere spectators on the sidelines.
