The Teacher
The Gospels present the life of Jesus. Acts gives us a history of the earliest church. The letters offer us insight into the early church problems and challenges. Revelation gives hope for the future. But what about the Old Testament? If you look carefully at the pages of your favorite Bible you may find the […]
Understanding Bible Covenants
You must understand covenants in the Bible if you want to understand the Bible. Although God himself never changes (Hebrews 6:17; Hebrews 13:8) he does change the way he deals with man. God does not deal with us today the same as he dealt with Adam and Eve. He did not deal with the Israelites […]
Originality and Scripture
Originality is valued in our society but not when it comes to Scripture. Timothy Archer offers some thoughts on Biblical originality at his blog. It’s worth a read.
Read The Bible Daily
