Old Testament Chronology
[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”] [et_pb_row admin_label=”row”] [et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] The dating of the Old Testament is not left to chance, nor is it undecipherable for the competent Bible student. Seven passages in the Bible help us pinpoint several important events in the Old Testament. First, Genesis 15:13, 16: “And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety […]
“In Season and Out of Season”
Paul, writing in 2 Timothy 4:2-4, clearly indicates that there are times when gospel preaching is “in season, out of season.” History indicates that in the first century in most places it was in season; in the middle ages it was out of season. There was a great season for the gospel in America in […]
Are You a Christian?
How can a person know that he or she is a Christian? Is there any way someone can really know? These are questions that are often asked. I am happy to tell you that God doesn’t leave us standing on the quicksand of feelings and experiences. Without a doubt it’s possible for one to know […]
Jeremiah and His Prophecies
Like Moses before him, Jeremiah was a reluctant prophet of Jehovah. God called him by saying, “Before I formed you in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations” (Jer. 1:5).

Galatians 5:4 says, “You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.” They […]
Watchdogs or Hushpuppies?
Often those who find themselves in indefensible positions resort to “invective” for justification. One of the more popular invectives for those who speak out against error and criticize false teaching is “watchdog.” The usual criticism of “watchdogs” is that they are not kind in the way they deal with problems. But “watchdog” is intended as […]
Are You Extreme?
The New Testament is clear about my relationship with evil (Ephesians 5:11). When I give encouragement to the man who teaches contrary to the doctrine of Christ, I become a partaker with him in his evil works (Romans 16:17-18; 2 John 9-11). It is an evil work to teach error and it is likewise an […]
Caleb Claims a Promise
In Joshua 14:6-15, Israel had come into the promised land of Canaan and had conquered much of it. It was time to divide the land among the tribes. Caleb, who with Joshua were the only two men who entered the land from the older generation, looks to claim a promise that had been given him […]
