Andrew Drapper three of his daughters and one son, (Deborah Kirsty, Amy and Conna), where speaking at Deeper Life Bible Church, Portsmouth, Last Sunday (25th July 2010).
Andrew taught on Biblical Evangelism and Deborah and Kirsty helped with acting out a practical example of how to talk with people about the Gospel.
Andrew addressed the current trend to use things like “Friendship Evangelism” and the “Do not mention SIN, Guilt or Judgement” approaches that many people favour today. He showed how we can use the tools that God has given us to lead people to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Read the rest of this entry »
Hi all,
I have not posted to Bible Matters for a while as I have not had much news to post and there has not been much in the news, that I did not feel that others where not covering well already. There may bee some news about an outreach in Portsmouth coming up soon and may be a trip to India to do some teaching, but more of that latter.
Today, however I had an email from creation.com, and just wanted to share it with you all. Many people keep saying that science will prove the Bible wrong, but little by little it does the opposite. The email says.
About ten years ago, the human genome was sequenced and published. It cost about 3 billion dollars and took a decade to finish. Genetics studies have advanced considerably since then, and we are now able to sequence DNA thousands of times faster for much less money. This has ushered in an age of ancient DNA studies that was unimaginable just a few short years ago. Ancient DNA is highly degraded and in old bones it is invariably broken into millions of short pieces. We can now sequence this DNA and on the forefront of this new wave was the recent publication of the Neandertal genome. Read the rest of this entry »
I have just received this new video from Eric Hovind.
It is amazing just how much you can fit into 60 seconds. In just 60 seconds Eric raises some very interesting questions about just how old the Earth can be. There are many limiting factors to the Earth being very old.
People who argue for an old Earth often answer these questions with unsupported statement like comets come form the Oort Cloud. An un-observed invention of the Dutch astronomer, Jan Hendrik Oort.

I hope you enjoy it.
An Anglican priest in the northern English city of York told his parishioners that poor people struggling to survive should steal food and other essentials from shops, rather than raise money through prostitution, burglary or mugging.
Best-selling author and evangelist, Ray Comfort, said, “What may sound like compassion is actually pulpit betrayal. Rather than a sermon telling his hearers to steal from businesses, he should be telling them to Read the rest of this entry »
I was sent this interesting quote today.
“Any possibility that intelligent life on earth or elsewhere evolved by chance can be quickly dismissed. Eminent British astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle points out that “even if the whole universe consisted of organic soup” from which life is made, the chance of producing the basic enzymes of life by random processes without intelligent direction would be approximately one in 10 with 40,000 zeros after it. The impossibility of that number can be seen in the following illustration. Read the rest of this entry »
Ray Comforts new edition
We have been given the great privilege of joining with Ray Comfort and Living Waters and many, many volunteers to help distribute over 170,000 copies of Origin of Species.
I know you might be confused – “What? The Drappers are giving out Charles Darwin’s ‘Origin of Species’! You are joking?”
Well, I think it is only fair to give both sides of an argument. Ray Comfort, of Living Waters, has taken Charles Darwin’s original book and added a 50 page special introduction. This includes the History of evolution, Timelines of Darwin’s life, Intelligent Design vs. Evolution, as well as a clear gospel message.
Yesterday, Joel, Kirsty, Deborah, and I joined a team of around 20 others, organised by Paul Taylor of Answers in Genesis, to take the 150th Anniversary Special Edition “Origin of Species” book into Oxford to give out to University Students.
If you want to buy some copies to donate to your library or local school then you can buy them here.
You can see how God blessed us in Oxford in the video below. Read the rest of this entry »
You know the way you find one thing on the internet and it leads you to another, and another? Well I was sent this line to a great little video called “Richard Dawkins – Maria Von Trapp has seven words for you…” I have put it up on BibTags.com. But one of the links from that was the video below.
The Title is “Ray Comfort apologises for banana illustration”. It is something of a challenging apology. Ray not only apologizes for the illustration, he also offers Richard Dawkins $20,000 to debate him on the existence of God. I hope Ray Never apologizes to me like this… hehe!
Hope you enjoy the video.
I have put all the tweets from our trip to the USA into this post.
Last year I began to write about the fact that I could see a progression toward a time coming when the Bible will be declared illegal in the UK. Believe you me, I will be only too happy to be proved wrong on this, but what I see is that the evidence actually supports the idea that we are moving toward the time when the Bible will be illegal.
Just this week, (15th August 2009), The Telegraph carried a report about a street preacher being threatened with arrest for reading the Bible in public.
Miguel Hayworth and his Father were reading out the Bible and handing out tracts in Manchester, when he says that:
“I was approached on more than one occasion by several police officers who falsely accused me, stating that I was inciting hatred with homophobic and racial comments,”
He continued… Read the rest of this entry »
