From time to time challengers raise an objection about the claims of Jesus. Namely, they question whether Jesus himself claimed to be God.This kind of claim most often will come from members of non-orthodox (usually cultic) traditions such as Mormons, Jehovah's...
Will God Answer us, and Show us Great and Mighty Things, if We Call Unto Him?
How do we know if a verse from the Old Testament---or even the New Testament---applies to you and me? Consider an example from Jeremiah 33:3. The verse says, "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Is this...
Is the Bible Misogynistic?
As we experience the rise of feminism in our culture, It's become common among critics of the Bible to claim it is misogynistic (that is, demeaning, in some way, of women). Is this true? Does the Bible elevate the intrinsic worth of males to a level higher than that...

I have a confession to make: Genealogy, anthropology, etc., are not my favorite subjects of study. Be honest--you've probably skipped the reading of those ancient genealogies more than once in your regular Bible study. It's unfortunate, but this apathy seems to have...
Are Some Sins Worse Than Others?
Sometimes, it can be difficult to convey the idea of sin to someone in a conversation. The truth is, most people don’t realize what sin is. I’ve heard it asked, is hell hotter for some than it is for others? We explore that question in this video.
Finding God in Natural Evil and Suffering
