    "Grace is giving or receiving something that is needed but not deserved." That definition fits beautifully into many places where the word "grace" is used in the New Testament.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK There is a very interesting Greek word in the Bible that we translate into the English word "grace." And this word "grace" is used time & time again throughout the New Testament. In fact, let's turn to the ...read more

    Paul declares we have been redeemed through the blood of Christ. The word redemption is a commercial term borrowed from the marketplace where human beings were offered for sale. Our only hope of redemption is in Christ Jesus. Updated July 2018.

     | 3,303 views

    Slowly, ever so slowly, the papacy emerges. Attitudes change. The church looks strangely different. When she lashes out at the Jews who were her first members, and her Savior, we know things have evolved the wrong way...

    Biblical Predestination Predestination is a Biblical subject but many readers of the New Testament find the doctrine of predestination confusing. Differing views as to what is meant by predestination began as early as the 5th Century as can be gleaned from the debates between Augustine and ...read more

    Are we patterned on Rome, on America, or on the Bible in our church? Who is in charge?

    CHURCH GOVERNMENT If Paul were to visit other American congregations, he might be just as appalled at the male leadership as at the female.
