    You Shall Not Murder Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 21, 2021
     | 2,788 views

    The Bible’s opening plotlines show the firstborn man, Cain, killing his brother Abel. Think of it: the firstborn person in the human race was a murderer.

    Contrary to many people’s thoughts that civilization is more civilized, evidence suggests that murder is on the increase. In 1963, in Scotland, two people were convicted of murder. In 2000, there were 128 reported homicides in Scotland. In 1960, the District of Columbia reported 81 murders. In 1991 ...read more

     | 3,873 views

    Did Jesus resort to using allegory as a clever ruse so as to keep things hidden? On the contrary! Jesus resorted to using parables so that the listener could better understand “the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven” [Matthew 13:11].

     | 3,313 views

    The arguments between holders of the various millennial theories has led not a 1000 years of peace but to 2000 years of strife. Perhaps it shouldn't be so much about the 'whats' as about the meaning.

    “The Great Unveiling: But What About the Rapture?” Revelation 20:1-15 People have given so much attention to the various ‘millennial’ theories, and tried so hard to prove that their positions the only truthful ones, the message of this great chapter has been lost. Instead ...read more

    Let God Do His Thing

    The work ethic is the theory that hard work is virtuous and worthy of reward. We need to replace that thinking by letting God do his thing. How would that look in our relationship with God?

    Let God Do His Thing  INTRODUCTION: The work ethic is the theory that hard work is virtuous and worthy of reward. That work ethic has crept into the Christian viewpoint by thinking that we must do God's work before we can merit his approval and acceptance. We need to replace that ...read more

    In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. There is no mention of galaxies or planets, either in Genesis or any other book of the Bible. Christians should follow the word of God and not the vain imaginations and theories of men.

    Darwinism is based on several assumptions about the origin of life. But its often used by many as a tool to oppose God. Because of that, this theory ultimately enslaves people to sin and despair. Do you know why?.

    God’s kingdom is at work in this world, but many people fail to take advantage of their opportunities. Instead of entering the kingdom, some people only ask questions about it. Salvation is not a theory to discuss; it is a miracle to experience.

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jul 20, 2015
     | 6,872 views

    The disciples asked Jesus why he spoke in parables. A parable is like an allegory or a fable-a practical story that illustrates a moral or spiritual concept. Jesus hadn’t used parables to this extent before now. Let's find out why he used parables.

     | 1,843 views

    This vision is about Zechariah’s nation as God’s chosen people. It also appears to operate like an allegory in the sense that like the nation of Israel, Zechariah represents Israel as a high priest with filthy rag righteousness,. We too, as individuals in every age stand guilty as charged.

    An Analysis Of "Blinded By Might: Can The Religious Right Save America”, Part 1

     | 102 views

    In Blinded By Might: Can The Religious Right Save America, columnist Cal Thomas and pastor Ed Dobson examine what they believe to be the reasons resulting in the disparities between theory and practice in regards to this particular socio-political movement.

    One of the inevitable lessons of history is that political plans and agendas are seldom implemented as initially conceived irrespective of the nobility of intention or even piety motivating such aspirations. Evangelical conservatism, also commonly referred to as “The Religious Right”, would prove ...read more
