By Bob Wilkin Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new (NKJV). Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (NIV). So if any one [be] in Christ, [there is] […]
By Bob Wilkin Have you ever said, “Praise the Lord”? If so, what did you mean? There is a lot of confusion in Christianity about what the expression means. Most people think that we praise the Lord when we 1) say the words Praise the Lord, or 2) have happy feelings during worship. But neither […]
By Philippe R. Sterling The virginal conception of Jesus was one of the signs that confirmed Him as the messianic son of David. God enabled a young Jewish virgin to have a baby in accordance with what He had revealed to the eighth-century BC prophet Isaiah. The messianic prophecy of Isa 7:13-15 continued the thread […]
By Kathryn Wright A MEAN MAN Over the Christmas holiday I heard an interesting story about the ill-tempered character Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens’s novella A Christmas Carol. According to some historians, Dickens was visiting Edinburgh, Scotland, in the early 1840s when he stumbled across a tombstone in Canongate Kirkyard. The stone read “Ebenezer Lennox […]
By Geoff Stevens Another school shooting. This time a Christian school. Many people are asking where God was. Why doesn’t God do something about all the tragedy in the world? Doesn’t He care? Psalm 110 answers this question. Surprisingly, King David was invited to hear God the Father conversing with the Son, which is so […]
By Mike Lii Have you ever heard someone who professes to know NT Greek teach that the Greek verb pisteuō, translated as “believe” in the Gospel of John, is in the Greek present tense, indicating continual action? According to these teachers, believe should really be understood as “continue to believe” throughout John’s Gospel. For them, […]
By John H. Niemelä John 3:16 is the most famous quotation from Jesus. Some would take issue with that statement. Some think the idea that Jesus said those words is an urban legend of the New Testament.1 Actually, that charge itself is fake news. A veritable war exists between Bible translations (which generally treat John […]
By Ken Pierce Few would rank the book of Job as one of the Bible’s top ten books, yet it is a book that has much to say about real life challenges that pepper the believer’s experience today. Circumstances and cultures change, but the trials, tragedies, and traumas afflicting believers remain very much the same. […]
Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. I’m teaching a second-year Greek course. We are using Galatians as our text. Each week we translate and exegete around ten verses. […]
Agur, a man of whom we know very little, wrote Proverbs 30. Most students of the Bible will recognize one of the characteristics of his writing. He likes to enumerate several things that have something in common, then up the number by one. Proverbs 30:21-23 is an example. Agur says that there are “three things” […]
In the 1970s, British philosopher Antony Flew coined the phrase, “No true Scotsman.” This expression stands for a well-known logical fallacy: A proponent of a position attempts to protect that position from...
