This week we’re talking about the dangers of preachers attending a Bible college. Many brethren rightly point out that there is no requirement in the New Testament that preachers attend a “Bible college” or receive some formal education before they can preach. Yet even with that disclaimer, many assume that attending a Bible college is unquestionably good. However, there are some dangers inherent in these “Bible colleges” that we would be foolish to ignore. So we’re going to discuss some of these today.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about the first “pride” march in recorded history. These marches have become all too common in our society. As the practice of homosexuality has become normalized, we see people around the country accept, celebrate, and promote it (especially during “pride” month). Yet long before the push to accept homosexuality in this country, there was another “march” in the city of Sodom that led to God destroying the city and its inhabitants.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about the decision by the United Methodist Church to lift the ban on ordaining clergy who are “self-avowed practicing homosexuals.” Not only did they decide to allow this, but they did so by an overwhelming majority with a 692-51 vote (93%). There are a few points for us to discuss about this today.Continue Reading
What does “propitiation” mean? How is “justification” connected to salvation? What does “sanctification” look like in our day-to-day lives? The Bible uses some powerful words to describe God’s plan to save mankind. However, these words are not always easy to understand, especially when they are not part of our everyday vocabulary. This book explores key Bible terms that unlock the message of the gospel.
Big Words in the Bible examines five important words – Propitiation, Reconciliation, Sanctification, Justification, and Resurrection – using plain language to see how the Scriptures describe these concepts and how the apostle Paul employs them in his letter to the Romans. This book also contains an appendix with eleven additional articles to explore these topics further.
Whether you are new to the Bible and want to grow in your understanding or want a simple way to explain these core gospel doctrines to others, this book will be helpful. With a focus on the Scriptures, Big Words in the Bible helps break down these fundamental topics to shed light on the life-changing message of the gospel and the salvation found in it.
