  • Broken Codes

    I recently began reading Dan Brown’s blockbuster novel, The Da Vinci Code. I found it to be a gripping mystery filled with page-turning cliffhangers. No wonder this book has sparked such a reaction. Many novelists have written copycats, hoping to strike similar gold. On the other hand, countless Christian writers and theologians have fought an uphill battle trying to set the historical record straight. Darrell Bock is one of them, and he debunks Brown’s ideas in his book, Breaking the Da Vinci Code. Many have wondered why biblical scholars would take such an interest in fiction, but Brown asserts many spurious claims about Christianity, and his charges must be answered. […]

  • Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit: Reflecting on the Unforgivable Sin

    What Is Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? What is the Unforgivable Sin (also called Unpardonable Sin)? In this article, Al Maxey will be looking at what is called “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit” and making a determination on whether or not that is the so-called “unforgivable sin.” The inimitable Emma Goldman (1869-1940), in her essay titled “Minorities versus Majorities,” made the following very insightful observation: “The most unpardonable sin in society is independence of thought” (Anarchism and Other Essays).

  • What The Bible Says About Sex

    As God made every animal He created a partner of the opposite gender. The partner provided companionship and assistance. The two of them also made the perfect team for raising offspring.

    The central teaching of the Bible is that God wants to reclaim his relationship with us through Jesus Christ (John 3:16 & Romans 3:24-26). Jesus Christ came into the world to be sacrificed as a sin offering so that our sins could be forgiven. And now God will give eternal life to those who place their trust in him (Ephesians 2:9-9).

  • Revisionist History | Revisionism

    The writing of “revisionist history” is not unknown. Persons look back at an event or program and recast it in view of their own purposes. They explain the records and evidence consistent with those purposes. One of the periods most often

  • Are All Sins Equal?

    It is not uncommon to hear or read the statement, “all sins are equal.” In other words, if I drive one mile per hour over the speed limit, I may as well have exterminated millions of people in the eyes of God. If that’s true, we

  • Jumping from Grace: The Mechanics of Apostasy

    Pertaining to our discussion(s) below about “falling” from grace I would like to ask a few questions to clear the matter up for me. An observation first.

  • The Unseen World of Angels

    “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” (Hebrews 1:14).

  • Abortion: Does It Really Matter?

    Within the Christian community there is a subtle but distinct lack of concern for the growth of abortion which finds its roots in apathy. The mentality is one of what other people do with their bodies has no effect on us as individuals.

  • Women in Ministry? Absolutely!

    When I first realized how clear the Bible is concerning women in ministry, I was awe struck. I thought, “How in the world could we have missed this?” I started to understand how simple it is to miss.

  • Our Muslim Neighbors

    Believe it or not, we have a few things in common with our Muslim community. We are all created in the image of God. We all believe in a Supreme Being. They call him Allah. We call him Yahweh.
