From where we came

"Do not settle for a Christianity that Jesus is the only one who has to die" Oswald Chambers

Just consider some of the every-day things, which have been inspired by the Bible. The word "breakfast" comes from the concept of breaking the fast.

The word "restaurant" comes from Jesus' promise in Matthew 11:28 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." The first restaurant founded in Paris in 1766 placed that verse from Matthew 11:28 in bold letters outside this first public establishment dedicated to providing meals in a pleasant atmosphere.

The very word "goodbye" comes from a parting prayer: God be with ye.

The word "holiday" comes from holy day.

The greatest invention in the field of learning, the printing press, by Johannes Gutenberg, was also a fruit of the Christian faith. The first book to be printed was the Bible.

The very name "university" testifies to its Christian origins. University means "One Truth". Isn't it time that teachers, lecturers and professors took an in depth look at the greatest Teacher the world has ever known, the greatest Book ever produced and the Faith which inspired and pioneered every major branch of education and science?. "Every school you see - public or private, religious or secular - is a visible reminder of the religion of Jesus Christ. So is every college and university." Dr. James Kennedy.
