An explicit statement of Christian experience wrapped in an implicit statement of the doctrine of the Trinity.

HOPE IN THE TRINITY. Romans 5:1-5. This short paragraph gives us an explicit statement of Christian experience wrapped in an implicit statement of the doctrine of the Trinity.

Overtaken In A Fault

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 21, 2022

The greater part of Paul’s letter to the Galatians deals with a doctrinal problem,

but there is a passage near the end, beginning at 5:13, going through 6:10, that deals with spiritual maturity. For example, look at our text, “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, YE WHICH ARE SPIRITUAL, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be ...read more

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 1, 2019

PART ONE When I was young, God called me into ministry, so I went through Catechism and prepared to enter the priesthood.

Practical Christianity Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Oct 11, 2022

The book of James is written by Jesus’ brother. James speaks to the practical side of Christianity. Christianity is doctrine, but it is more than doctrine. His point was to influence believers to a practical Christianity. It is written to Hebrew Christians.

A man leaves his business in the hands of someone to look after things while he is gone. When he returns, he asked the one he left in charge, did you get my letters and read my instructions? Yes, he replied I received them, and I read them. How could it be that this man received the letters and ...read more

Let's Be Practical Series

Contributed by Dan Jackson on Aug 19, 2005

First message on James. James’ letter is more a practical paper on corrrect conduct, than a doctrinal discourse. He assumes a knowledge of doctrine (dangerous assumption today!) and urges us to live out the truth.

“It is a bewildering paradox that one-third of all American adults claim to be born again and yet fail to impact our society which becomes sicker and more corrupt by the day. Religion is up but morality is down,” says Chuck Colson. George Gallup reached the same conclusion when he polled the nation ...read more

Women And Christianity Pt. 1 Series

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Dec 16, 2013

The teachings of Christianity were revolutionary. The ideas and doctrines found in the New Testament were radically different from the ideas and doctrines found in the rest of the world. One area where this was true was the status and rights of women.

The advent of the Feminist Movement in our Country in the late 1960s and early 1970s promoted the assertion that women were oppressed, being deprived of their equal rights and equal opportunities in society. They attacked Christianity as being patriarchal by denying women the opportunity to be in ...read more

1 Timothy 3:16 The Son Became Flesh

Contributed by William D. Brown on Dec 23, 2010

Recently I brought a few thoughts on what I consider to be the # 1 Bible doctrine, and that is the INCARNATION. If Jesus was not God in flesh then none of the rest of the numerous Bible doctrines are important, if the incarnation is not real then we can
