Theological “liberalism” has no regard for the plain testimony of Scripture. With the “liberal,” all biblical events must be measured in the light of “modern” knowledge. In this week’s Penpoints, Wayne Jackson provides a shocking example of this kind of perversion of Bible history.

At the dawning of the day, your body is as rested as it will be all day, your mind is the sharpest it will be all day—as yet uncluttered with numerous distractions. Why not take advantage of this quiet time?

Who is this “Gog and Magog” that threatens God’s people in Revelation 20:8?

What the Bible doesn’t tell us is an indication of its supernatural origin.

As Jesus prayed on the mount of Olives, “his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground” (Lk. 22:44). Did blood actually come from the Lord’s skin, or is the language merely a figure of speech emphasizing the Savior’s agony?

Study this context with us.

Predicting the return of Jesus Christ is a full-time hobby for some. Does Matthew 24 contain the signs needed to predict Christ’s return?

The case of Eutychus in Acts chapter 20 is a testament to the authenticity of the Christian religion and an assurance that death is not the end of existence.

Some allege that the church of Christ, as established on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2), has not existed in an unbroken line since that time. The allegation is false if the testimony of Scripture is dependable.

Many atheists proclaim themselves to be intellectuals. In fact, they are fools.

Every life is a sacred gift from heaven intended to honor the Creator and prepare us for eternity.

Human writers often make careless errors, however, the Bible does not. The precision of God’s word is evidence of its divine origin.

The commands found in the Bible may be classified in several ways to help our understanding.
