Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 23, 2021

We've seen many improvements in modern day Christianity in the past twenty years, but it still seems like overall Christians in our day and age struggle with Bible knowledge, putting theory into practice, and taking effective action against problems of the times.

Jesus Christ: Our Divine Teacher, Part 1

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 30, 2021

John 3 introduces us to Nicodemus, a religious man who seemed sincere in wanting to know more about Jesus. He received the greatest lesson in that a real relationship with God is made possible only by the finished work of Christ on the cross and His resurrection.

The third chapter of John's Gospel gives us a portrait of the Lord Jesus as the Divine Teacher. He has already been presented as the Light, The Word of God, the Lamb of God, and the Messiah. Now He gives His attention to teach us how to flee the darkness of this world and come to the Light, ...read more

Are You On The Way Or In The Way?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 5, 2022

Early Jewish Christians referred to themselves as "The Way," which some have surmised comes from the book of Isaiah, where it was prophesied, "prepare the way of the Lord" (Isaiah 40:3).

The Craftsman At God’s Side Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 12, 2018

The Man Behind The Manger

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 18, 2019

Joseph is underestimated in his role in the Christmas story – he was especially chosen by God, had many internal battles to fight to obey God, had a unique relationship with God, and played a formative role in the development of the personality of the Son of God.
