By Shawn Lazar Institutions, especially theological ones, tend to change over time. Most of the time they change for the worse. And there is nothing more dangerous than a downward trend in your understanding of the saving message. For example, The Moody Handbook of Theology seems to have repented of its view of salvation. A […]
By Bob Wilkin Most of our readers are not pastors and will never preach in a church. However, all of you teach others about the Lord Jesus Christ in one way or another. Many of you have taught, are teaching, or will teach Sunday school. Some teach home Bible studies. Some speak at the local […]
By Marcia Hornok Raise your hand if you have heard a Proverbs 31 sermon on the second Sunday in May. I see a great many hands. The problem with Mother’s Day is that it marginalizes women who are not mothers. However, Prov 31:10−31 does not. Yes, it mentions a husband and children, but the topic […]
By Zane C. Hodges Regarding the Minister of Christ In 1 Tim 3:14–4:5 the Apostle sets forth the importance of his instructions about the truth itself, while in 4:4–16 he sets forth their importance to Timothy himself. If Timothy is faithful in teaching and charging these things, they will truly make him a good servant […]
By Pam Esteven Did you know there are two Noahs in the Bible? One was a man, the other a woman. There is the Noah who built the ark, and there is the Noah who was a daughter of Zelophehad (Num 27:1). The story of Noah and her sisters—Mahlah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah—is a remarkable […]
By Bill Lee I began my life in Christ back in 1968 when I first heard the gospel. Like most Christians, that opened for me an amazing life I never imagined possible. I met my wife Jeanette while volunteering at the Christian Servicemen’s center in Memphis, TN. I picked up a four-year degree in Biblical […]
By Bill Fiess with Pam Esteven In the book of Revelation there is an impressive number of references to clothing which encompasses a variety of Greek words. Often in Scripture, the believer’s garment represents righteous works done in faithful obedience to God (e.g., Rev 16:15; 19:8). For the sake of brevity, we will examine a […]
I’ve been exploring the debate between annihilationism and eternal conscious torment (ECT) in a series of blog posts. One of the disagreements between the two views is over the meaning of death. Many proponents of annihilationism understand death to mean the cessation of existence, especially conscious existence. They say that when someone dies, the whole […]
The great questions keep on coming. In my mail bag (inbox) today, I had this gem: 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 states, “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together […]
Does the Bible emphasize the eternality of salvation? When OT and NT people thought of salvation, was “living forever” a new idea or a basic one? Is that something they believed in God to provide? To answer those questions, consider Genesis 1-3. You know the story. You know that God created Adam and Eve […]
Over the last few blogs, I have been discussing each of the crowns mentioned in the NT. The reason I have done so is that...
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out (John 6:37). The...
