They top our trees, adorn our yards, and may even stand proudly in your local department store. But the Bible has a lot to say about angels, and not just in the Christmas story. Who are these angelic ...

The Book of Numbers is really a travel story. Now, if it’s a travel story through the cornfields of Kansas, you can’t fault the editor for thinking “Book of Numbers” might at least hit the math-nerd d...

You may not have grown up lighting an advent candle or know what the word “advent” even means. You can still take part in this centuries-old tradition that teaches us about the central themes of Chris...

What we know is Jesus read from the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament. What we don’t know is which specific Hebrew Bible Jesus used. By the time of Jesus’ birth, the Old Testament Scriptures were avai...
The question you need to ask is: Does God change? It may seem simple, but this question is so important to our future-our peace of mind!...
Joel Ryan
What we ultimately know about Joel, who he was, and when he ministered, are probably less important than his actual ministry and message. According to Macarthur, “the message of Joel is timeless, form...

The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. You can’t have one without the other to come to as full an understanding of Scripture (and Him) a...

There isn’t much in Genesis that points us to the eternity that awaits us. But again, there are little glimpses, like Jacob’s ladder. There is hope even in Joseph’s death and burial in Egypt that the ...

When Jesus corrected Martha, he didn’t condemn her or say her service didn’t matter. Instead, he pointed to the turmoil in her soul. Her restless heart revealed a deeper issue — she was missing the po...

There are some issues that the Bible is a bit quiet on, while there are other topics that God speaks to directly, leaving no room for interpretation or debate. The sin of fornication, or sexual immora...

We messed up and God is working to fix the problem. But is that really the case? Was the fall an unfortunate failure on the part of humanity that God is working to overcome? Or was the fall a necessar...

The Dead Sea Scrolls have been described as one of the most important archaeological finds of the 20th century. While the scrolls do not mention the life of Jesus or the origins of Christianity, they ...

While I’ll still readily acknowledge that those first few chapters of 1 Chronicles are tough sledding, the reality is that the gospel is here as well. It’s far more than a phone book. It isn’t a glori...

The 10 Commandments established the law for Israel, and many if not all of these laws are still accepted by us today. Commands like "do not murder" or "do not lie" seem commonsense. But what about the...

When you think of God in the New Testament, you probably think of Jesus - working miracles and sacrificing of himself for others. But God in the Old Testament is often wrathful. Old Testament tales ar...
