Those of us who claim to hold to a natural interpretation of God's Word can expect to face certain criticism. The fact is that many aim to downplay the historical veracity of the Bible in an attempt to make believing in its truth seem either more convenient, or wholly...
The old preacher once said, "I'm glad for the pie in sky when I die, but I'd like some steak on my plate while I wait!" Although this is a lighthearted remark, sadly, it is representative of the way a vast number of people understand classical Christianity. The idea...
The feeling is all too familiar for those who spend a considerable amount of time in witnessing, evangelism, and defense of Christianity. There are times when it seems the fruit is plenteous and abundant, and times when it seems our words are simply not connecting...
