A Charge Of Being A Rabble-Rouser Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 23, 2023

The fourth reaction to Jesus’ claims comes from the religious and civil authorities. It paints a clear picture of men in every generation who reject or oppose Jesus. That’s because what Jesus says is tragic for all unbelievers.

Alternate Theory Of Creation No. 3 - The "day/Age" Theory

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 24, 2023

Another theory of the creation of the universe in opposition to the record given in Genesis 1 is the "Day/Age" Theory, and like the previous two we looked at, has neither the science or Scriptural foundation to verify its claim.

We have looked at two of four "theories of creation" used to explain our origins apart from what is clearly and unapologetically presented in the first chapter of Genesis. The first theory is known as "theistic evolution", which teaches that God used evolution as part of the ...read more

Introduction: This episode took place after Paul had begun a healing ministry, sending aprons or handkerchiefs to people who needed them (Acts 19:11-12).

Living A Godly Life In A Godless World Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 16, 2005

Joseph was stuck as a slave, then a prisoner in Egypt. He could have claimed God had forgotten him, but Joseph remained faithful and a man of character on the inside and outside. It gives us many lessons on how to live our lives in Christ.

The story of Joseph reminds me of someone else later on in the Old Testament - Daniel. Like Joseph, Daniel was carried off to a foreign land but because of his God given talent and integrity, he was given broad trust and responsibility. Also like Joseph, that character got him enemies who sought to ...read more

Four Witnesses Series
