“Terrorist” is a word with which we are quite familiar these days—at least in a political sense. What about “terrorists” in the church? They were present in the early church, and they are today as well. We must learn to identify them if the church is to be kept pure.

Do public school officials have the right to force students to read materials that they or their parents deem to be morally offensive?

What does Jesus expect from his disciples?

Does baptism come before or after the salvation contemplated in 1 Peter 3:21?

Why don’t most Christians practice church “feet-washing” today, since Jesus did say, “you ought to do this”? We are responding to this sincere question in this week’s Question period.

Why is there so much religious diversity in the world—or even in the community of “Christendom”? Surely such is not the ideal will of God. Let us consider this theme most carefully.

A recently-published book, Rescuing Jesus from the Christians, seeks to throw the spotlight on some of the alleged “errors” in the beliefs and teaching of Jesus Christ. The fact is, Clayton Sullivan, the author, has revealed how very little he knows about Gospel history. Wayne Jackson briefly reviews this new volume.

I frequently see writers refer to what they call “modernism.” Exactly what do they mean by this term?

Is the gospel still sufficient for church growth? Are modern gimmicks necessary to attract bigger crowds?

Were those disciples who were immersed by John the Baptizer required to be re-immersed on the day of Pentecost or thereafter? Some sincere Bible students maintain they were, but will the evidence really support that view?

Those who teach that salvation is solely by faith, without further acts of obedience, have a difficult time reconciling Paul with himself. Study this matter with us.

Why the Apocryphal books don’t belong in the inspired canon of Scripture.

Jerry Falwell is calling for a more charitable view, he says, towards the “gay” community.
