Inspiration Of The Bible

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Mar 15, 2022

Is the Bible inspired by a loving God? Some people believe that the Bible is myth or misogynistic or contains hate speech. Have they believed lies about the Bible? The phrase “thus says the Lord” is found over 400 times, so is the Bible an inspired document from a loving God?

Walking Into Hell With Clean Feet

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 21, 2022

The last evening Jesus spent with His disciples (John 13-17) had Him showing the act of service towards others by washing their feet. Judas Iscariot's feet were cleaned as well, but his heart remained dirty and unresponsive to this final outreach of compassion as he planned Jesus' betrayal.

This year (2022) marks the fiftieth anniversary of the premiere of the film "A Thief in the Night", one of the first Christian films to present the subject of the last days and how it would impact life as we know it. The quality of the film is primitive by today's standards, but ...read more

"i Will Proclaim The Truth" Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 24, 2020

The Bible says that both people and society will grow more wicked as the time approaches for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The preacher is to face this with the soul-convicting, life transforming power of the Word and Spirit, no matter the cost.

Anyone who makes the ridiculous statement that the Bible is merely a human book, and nothing more than a collection of inspiring stories has let others do their thinking for them, mimicking someone else's skepticism, or have claimed to have read it to end up condemning what it says about the ...read more
