Heaven is a place prepared for a prepared people.

The literary unity of the Bible is evidence of Divine inspiration.

The life of Abraham abounds with lessons from which the sincere child of God can profit.

Is it appropriate to sing some of the songs from the book of Psalms in the Old Testament? An interested reader wants to know.

Sometimes the Bible condemns hate. Sometimes it seems to encourage it.

We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Often we deceive ourselves, thinking that we can escape immediate consequences.

Human beings generally are concerned about the benefits package associated with their employment. God’s “benefits package” is marvelous beyond description, as Psalm 103 reveals. This study considers the marvelous benefits bestowed upon the children of God.

Does the fact that God did not require water baptism for the remission of sins under the Mosaic system indicate that baptism must not be obligatory under the New Covenant? Does this compromise the Lord’s “immutability”? Study the question with us.

Was Jesus absolutely sinless? What does the evidence actually reveal? If he was sinless, was this necessary in the divine scheme of things? If so, why?

A failure to understand the real distinction between the Old and New Covenants underlies a host of religious errors.

The writer of the book of Hebrews says that Abel, the first murder victim, is yet speaking. What is he saying? Are we listening?

Homosexuality is not the fun and free lifestyle that the media images we see everyday portray. It is a destructive and damnable pattern of behavior that is characterized as sinful rebellion against our Creator. But it can be overcome.

Does the Bible say that little babies are by nature born in sin?
