1 Timothy 2:13-15 (ESV)
For Adam was formed first, then Eve;
And Adam was not deceived
but the woman was deceived
and became a transgressor
Yet she will be saved through childbearing
if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control
“Yet she will be saved through childbearing” makes the most sense in light of the woman becoming a transgressor [...]

Matthew 8:23-27:
23 And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. 24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. 25 And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” 26 And he [...]

At the Duke Socratic Club’s Two Views dialogue on the atonement entitled “How Does Jesus Save Us?” (Feb. 26, 2008) the question was asked of the proponent of penal substitution where the life of Jesus fit in on his view, for it seemed that in this view all that mattered was the death of Jesus, [...]

Can someone recommend a book for children (age 9-12) that seem keen on learning about the reasonableness of faith in God and the firm foundation laid therefor in his excellent word? This is the reason why.

I am pleased that the Southern Baptist Convention has organized the Building Bridges Conference that is to take place at the end of this month to discuss Calvinism. Moreover, it’s right that Nathan Finn should be giving an address on the misconceptions of Calvinism because of his irenic, Christ-like demeanor. I would like to contribute [...]

If everything in creation has been created for a purpose by God, then it is a gross error to be angry (”sass”) creatures.

Look no further than 1 Corinthians 15:19 for proof that you should never read a Bible verse:
If in this life we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
Oh, no! What did Paul say? How are we supposed to make sense of this? Read the verse in context and especially [...]

[Food for thought from Steve Turner:]

Theology I (Dr. Keathley)
The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy
New Testament I (Dr. Black)
Dr. & Mrs. Black share stories, pictures, and video from their work in the far away land of Ethiopia. I watched a blind man recite a large chunk of Matthew’s gospel in Amharic which he was able to memorize from cassette. Younger [...]
