The Hardest Commandment | Jack P. Lewis
A Lawyer, probably interested both in learning Jesus’ position and in getting support for his side of a discussion which was currently going on, asked Jesus what the greatest commandment of the Law was.

Blessings in Christ (Ephesians 1)
October 1, 2013
Much of the New Testament speaks to the blessings of God’s divine goodness and mercy. When God is in covenant He blesses those who are His in a uniquely different fashion. Instead of the everyday blessing such as are fitting in His providential care of all humanity (Matthew 5.44-45), to those who are His through […]
Ways People Read the Bible | Dr. Sam E. Hester*
May 25, 2013
Almost everyone approaches the Bible in a way that he has been taught or in a way which he thinks is right, or both. What the majority does, however, is not the certain way toward truth.

Mistakes in the Bible? | Kevin L. Moore
November 5, 2012
A frequently heard assertion is that the Bible is replete with inconsistencies, contradictions, and factual mistakes. To substantiate this charge, biblical texts are sometimes pitted against each other or indiscriminately viewed as suspect when compared to other ancient sources whose accuracy is taken for granted. Many, it seems, have rejected the Bible based on second- […]
Did Christ “Destroy the Law”? | Hugo McCord
October 22, 2012
Moses’ law allowed divorce, “if she find no favor in his eyes,” and remarriage (Deuteronomy 24:1-4). An Oregon church says that is God’s law today because Christ came not to “destroy the law” (Matthew 5:17). Truly Christ came not to destroy the law, not “one jot or one tittle” of it, “till all be fulfilled” […]
