I received this excellent email from B in California: I find it interesting that so many churches or denominations do not see the many references to rewards in the Bible. As a result, sometimes it affects their interpretation of a passage of Scripture. My initial thoughts go like this: the New Testament writers understood the

Here’s a great question from T in Minnesota: I was reading I Samuel 15:29 where it says God does not change his mind. I find this confusing. Did he not change his mind about Saul being king? How about the destruction on the city of Nineveh? God seems to change his plans alot based on

This question leapt at me from my Inbox: Greetings, I had a question concerning the rebellion of Korah in Numbers 16.

On January 31st I wrote a blog about why Dr. Earl Radmacher was right when he said that for the believer this life is “training time for reigning time.” In my blog I discussed the fact that while all believers will be in the kingdom, not all will rule with Him and of those who

  Several preliminary observations before we answer the question of this article. First, unbelievers can learn about Jesus. That is, they can be involved in following Jesus. Unbelievers can go to church, Sunday school, home Bible studies. They can even go to Bible college or seminary. We would be foolish to require that someone be

Recently I received this email suggestion: The Gospel of John says that many of his disciples went back and walked with Him no more (John 6:66). I find it informative that these people walked with Him no more. You would almost consider them apostates, those who never were really saved to begin with. But John
