Is The Entire Bible Inerrant And Divinely Inspired In Everything It Says?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 14, 2020

One of the foundational pillars of the Christian faith is the claim that the Bible is the inerrant and the divinely inspired Word of God.

Throughout history, people have ridiculed the idea of biblical inerrancy and do not believe it to be free from error or untruths or culturally appropriate today. To the faithless, the Bible is simply another fallible book written by imperfect humans. Within the pages of the Bible, it is written, ...read more

Spiritual Discipline For The Race Of Life

Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 1, 2015

We must learn to lay everything aside and renew our fellowship and communion with God. We must “keep our eyes on the prize.” We must keep our eyes fixed on Christ. We must pace ourselves when we run the race of life. Only then can we survive and win.

Can We Trust The Gospels?

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 16, 2019

There has been a lot of argument about whether we can trust the gospels or not. Just how did they come to be written? Luke opens his gospel with a statement of how he did it. He did it right.

Probably most every one of us has been in on a conversation where one person says something that’s a bit hard to believe. The other person questions it. And the first person raises his hand, as if he is being sworn in to give testimony in court, and says ‘It’s the gospel truth!’ ‘It’s the ...read more
