Was the church of Christ established on the day of Pentecost? Or was it established at some earlier time in human history?

Jesus declared that “worship” must be consistent with revealed “truth” (John 4:24), namely God’s word (John 17:17). This includes the musical engagement of the church.

The Roman Catholic Church teaches the dogma of the “primacy of Peter.” Does the Gospel of Mark hold a key piece of evidence pertaining to this controversy?

Known as a traitor, Judas also was counted among the apostles before his notorious betrayal of Christ.

In the final book of the Old Testament there is a stunning prophecy that deals with the mission of John the Baptizer and the Lord Jesus—who was the object of John’s preparatory work. A study of this text pays rich dividends.

Scholarly sources may be helpful, but good Bible students recognize any human source can be biased or flawed. God’s Word is the ultimate standard of faith and practice.

Answer a fool. Don’t answer a fool. What is the right thing to do?

Does this passage prove the Calvanistic doctrine of hereditary total depravity? Not in the least.

Do Christians today receive the Comforter as promised by Christ in the gospel of John?

Many have been deceived into believing that grace by definition excludes obedience. Nothing could be further from the truth.

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.
