Top 5 Lies Christians Believe

Posted on Wed, 29 Apr, 2015Sun, 20 Aug, 2017 by Zheluo Cai

Contrary to what we may think and believe, the Bible addresses quite a number of issues that go against the logic of human belief on what it means to follow Jesus and obey God. Often, these principles are not articulated with academic clarity, but couched in stories and parables in both the Testaments. Hence, the constant phrase ‘let those who have eyes see and ears hear…’ delineate the true seeker of God from the one whose disinterest runs deeper than matters concerning his soul. According to Nicole Cottrell, the top five lies Christians embrace are: church is not necessary; all Christians need to be good and act nice; God does not care about your small things; we believe that only pastors or those in leadership can, in fact, lead; and, God wants us to be happy.

Sunflowers (Tournesols) is the name of two series of still life paintings by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. The first series, executed in Paris in 1887, depicts the flowers lying on the ground, while the second set, executed a year later in Arles, shows a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase. In the artist's mind, both sets were linked by the name of his friend Paul Gauguin, who acquired two of the Paris versions. On March 30, 1987, Japanese insurance magnate, Yasuo Goto, paid the equivalent of US $39,921,750 for van Gogh's Still Life: Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers at auction at Christie's London. The painting currently resides at Seiji Togo Yasuda Memorial Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo.
