Let Me Remind You

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 8, 2021

Reminders, we all need them. The main reason we need reminders is because we're forgetful. A synonym for remind is to jog the memory. That's what we need at times. Reminders were given in the bible. Let's take a look.

Walking With Christ In Turbulent Times. Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 19, 2024

Peter wrote to the scattered and persecuted Christians throughout a vast area. Peter is writing as a fellow sufferer. Peter probably wrote this book from Roman imprisonment.

The sixties were very turbulent times. I was born in 1961, but I am not talking about those sixties. I am talking about AD 61 to AD 70. It is the context, and it sets the stage for what Peter wrote and to whom Peter wrote in his books. Peter wrote his first book 1 Peter in about 63AD and this book ...read more

If all the translations, versions, revisions, and paraphrases taught the same thing, there would be no controversy, BUT THEY DO NOT! ...read more

Preach The Word -- Which One? 2 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
