What is the purpose of the church? Not entertainment. Not prestige. Not wealth. The church exists to carry out the purpose of Christ: seeking and saving the lost, teaching the truth, serving others, and glorifying God.

If Jesus is not divine, He cannot be the Savior He claimed to be. But the evidence is clear: He was with God, He was God, He created all things, and He is worthy of worship.

Is Jesus Divine? This question is of utmost importance. If Jesus is not Divine, then He and the Inspired writers of the Bible are liars and cannot be the source of absolute truth that the Bible is regarded to be. If Jesus is not Divine, then He cannot be the Messiah that He claimed to be. If Jesus i

The church doesn’t need fundraising gimmicks when God has already given His people a way to give. The question isn’t, “Can we raise money this way?” but, “Has God authorized it?”

As with any other topic, subjects like this can get complicated because it seems so inconsequential compared to some of the other major problems we face in the modern world. Some might say, “Don’t you know that there are wars and religious conflicts, etc and this is what you want to focus on?”...

The question isn’t, “Can I do this?” but, “Does this help me remain sober, self-controlled, and ready to serve the Lord?”

Scriptural worship is not determined by what is popular, cultural, or what “I think.” The question is simple: What has God said, and what has He authorized?

When discussing whether or not something is scriptural, it can often be debated and argued. “But the Bible doesn’t say…” “I don’t think…” All of these comments begin to rise to the surface and dominate the conversation. The reality is that matters of scripture leave no room for opini...

It is often presented as a problem for Scripture, but the real problem is the assumptions brought to Scripture. The Word of God doesn't need man's theories to make it trustworthy.

Upon review of the preceding theories, the student of God’s Word must see their shortcomings and antagonistic origins. H. Leo Boles wrote, “It will be observed that these theories must be largely destructive of one another. It does not matter which wrote first, as all wrote as they were guided b...

The Synoptic Problem isn’t solved by speculation—it’s settled by inspiration. Similarities in Matthew, Mark, and Luke don’t demand copying; they reflect one divine Author guiding multiple inspired writers. Trust God’s Word over man’s theories.

It is unquestionable that the Gospel accounts are similar in some ways and different in others. The similarities and differences have led many to question and become troubled by their existence. The adage, “Never let a crisis go to waste,” comes to mind as any perceived problem with the Biblical...

Grace saves. Faith trusts. Obedience responds. Noah's life shows these aren't competing ideas—they're God's pattern for salvation. What does the Bible really teach?

The fact of the worldwide flood is instrumental to our understanding of God’s desire to save man. We often study it in Bible classes and sermons. Have you considered Noah and how the circumstances of his life are but one example of how grace, faith, and obedient works are critical in salvation? Ma...

Miracles confirmed the message. Today, we have the confirmed message. God’s completed Word is sufficient for faith and godliness. (Mark 16:20; 2 Pet. 1:3)

One of the common views in the current climate of religion is the idea that there are supernatural miracles occurring even in our current world. The claim is that spiritual warfare and miraculous events are still being performed to show that God still has power in the world today. Is this true? Are

Who can win souls? The biblical answer is simple: every faithful Christian. God hasn't called only a few to reach the lost—He's called all of us. Read the full article:

Who can win souls? The answer is a Christian. Yes, every Christian is a soul winner. This is our duty as the redeemed. The Great Commission teaches as much Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teach
