God’s Jealousy
(What follows is a question from a student in our Bible Correspondence Courses. We post it here for anyone else who may have wondered the same thing.) Why is God a jealous God when jealousy is a sin? This is an excellent question which shows that you are looking deeper into God’s word. Let me […]
Presumptuousness
“going beyond what is right or proper; excessively forward.” The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 4th God’s people have always struggled with presumptuousness. It has plagued them since Eden and shows no sign of slowing itself. Today it marks the nature of much of the religious world and even many within the Lord’s […]

Uselessness of Riches

To The Point
Sometimes, it’s hard to boil down an Biblical concept into simple terms. In fact it seems that some people have made the Bible so complicated that others find nothing but confusion as they turn to Scripture.
