What is the relationship between leaders and laity? Their job, and our job.

Over the years, I've read my fair share of commentaries and academic journal articles on the Bible. I have never, ever, read more passionate-- and even angry-- scholars on any other subject, than I have on today's verses. At first, I was surprised by this-- amused, really, if I'm ...read more

Witnesses Of The Light

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 15, 2021

In John's prologue of his gospel, he refers to the person and work of the forerunner of God's Messiah. John the Baptist had the honor of being that individual and was one of a long line of biblical witnesses to the promise of the coming Redeemer.

John the Baptist is described in the opening verse of John's Gospel as a man who was sent from God to bear witness of the Light that is the Lord Jesus Christ. John made it clear, however, that the Baptist was not that light. There had been disciples of John the Baptist who had carried his ...read more

When Critics Are Your Best Friend

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 30, 2021

Four hundred prophets told the king everything he wanted to hear and prophesied victory. Then along came Jeremiah, who said the four hundred were ...read more
