What Should We Make of the Discrepancies Found in the Bible?
1 Chronicles 2:13-15
Skeptics often charge that the Bible’s historical books hopelessly contradict each other. And if that’s the case, they charge, then the Bible cannot be trusted in anything it says. Take, for example, 1 Chronicles 2:13-15, which states that Jesse had seven sons, while 1 Samuel 17:12 indicates Jesse had...

Building Past Failure
Building Past Failure
by Mel Lawrenz
The single sentence that came crackling through the radio signal from almost a quarter-million miles from Earth sounded simple, even routine. “Houston, we’ve had a problem.” The three crew members of the Apollo 13 spacecraft circling the moon knew that something had gone terribly wrong with their spacecraft after hearing the sound of...

“But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.” — Psalm 73:2-3 If you have ever looked around at the world and the child in you screamed “it’s not fair,” then Psalm 73 is for you!

You Must Be Born Again
You Must Be Born Again
John 3:1-3 ”Jesus answered him, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God’” (v. 3).
Many of the passages that we will study this month are occupied with the condition of the heart and the planting of the Gospel in ready soil (Matt. 13:18-30, 36-43; 15:1-20 ). The Bible, of course, has much to say on this...
