Christ Our Pattern in Suffering
By Cyprian Antwi Awuah Suffering Is Real Christian suffering is real. It is one of those tools that God uses to facilitate the believer’s spiritual growth.

How Do We Deal with Conflicting Truth Claims?
By Chuck Deveau In our postmodern world, the concept of truth is subjective. I can have my own truth, and others can have their own truth. So, what happens when my truth conflicts or collides with your truth? Theoretically, we are to accept both as true. But in practice, we are to accept that which […]
In What Sense Do Unbelievers Die in Their Sins? (John 8:24)
By Bob Wilkin David from Mississippi writes: I see in The Grace New Testament Commentary where John 8:24 has been addressed.

Report on GES Overseas
By Kathryn Wright Over the last year and a half, our overseas work has been limited by our inability to go in person.

How Rare Are Virtuous Women?

A New Song (Revelation 14:3)
By Kathryn Wright An Intimate Setting A few years ago, my husband and I got the chance to visit Nashville, Tennessee.

How Do We Know That Saving Faith Requires No Works on Our Part?

J. H. read that blog and […]
Cancer: A Holy Experience
By Marcia Hornok Alone with God I have a Holy of Holies in my home. A place where nothing interrupts my solitude with God. Neither phone calls, media messages, nor family members intrude when I enter it. Only God and I meet there daily in this Holy Place. Now I’m not an especially disciplined Christian, […]
Is “Continuous” Believing Required for the New Birth?
By Steve Elkins I really enjoyed Dan Wallace when I had him for Greek grammar. I thought he was one of the best teachers at my seminary.
