How Do We Know That Seraphim and Cherubim Are Angels?

article January 18, 2021

They are generally considered angels just because there are a limited number of intelligent sentient beings. The general categories are God himself, angels, and human beings, and some would also include higher animals. 

What Do You Mean When You Refer to the Curse with a Capital C?

article January 13, 2021

Simply put, the Curse is the effects of sin on both humans and the earth. For humans, “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23).

Is It Inappropriate to Cite John 8:44 in Connection to Suicide?

article January 6, 2021

As I have dealt with people who are suicidal, which of course can involve many issues besides what the devil is doing, it has seemed clear to me that the devil is in favor of suicide and tempts people toward it.

Alisa Childers on Doubt, Progressive Christianity, and Rediscovering the Solid Rock

video December 30, 2020

It’s become increasingly popular for people to share their “de-conversion stories,” talking about how they moved from belief in Christ and the Bible to a design-it-yourself type of spirituality, or even out right atheism.

What Is the Meaning of 1 Timothy 2:15, “But Women Will Be Saved through Childbearing”?

article December 17, 2020

"Much of the history of Christianity has been devoted to domesticating Jesus—to reducing that elusive, enigmatic, paradoxical person to dimensions we can comprehend, understand, and convert to our own purposes. So far it hasn’t worked." —Andrew Greeley

Will Only the Saved Go to Heaven and the Unsaved Go to Hell Forever? Or Will All People End Up in Heaven?

article September 23, 2020

Question from a Reader:

Do you believe that Jesus taught immortal earthly life for the saved, universal salvation, or something else? What passages can you cite as proof of Heaven as the eternal destination for the saved, and Hell as an eternal existence for the ungodly?

article September 23, 2020

Question from a Reader:

I’m a deep thinker, and like to research and understand things. My friend tells me I shouldn’t rely on only my intellect as my ultimate authority, but if not, then what should I rely on? At the end of the day aren’t we all kind of stuck in terms of relying on whatever intellect is available to us? 

If God Enables People to Believe, Should We Use Wording Calling Sinners to Receive the Gift of Salvation?
