A Theology of Martyrdom
The greatest privilege of the Christian Life
Here in America, the church of Jesus Christ has for the most part enjoyed a peaceful Christendom.

Best Biblical/Theological books of 2009
Andreas Köstenberger on his blog listed the “Best of 2009,” his opinion of the most significant works in the area of biblical and theological studies.

Why Is The Bible Inspired?
The Scriptures, both Old and New Testament, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:21).
The Bible is a book like none other. The Holy Spirit inspired holy men, giving them both the truth [...]
The Resurrection
What is the significance of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ?
“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” (Acts 2:36)

The Way, the Truth, and the Life
“No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” (John 14:5, 6)
What makes a Christian different from [...]
Aspects of John’s Gospel
Why Is It considered the most Jewish of the four gospels?
Question:
It is often said that John is the Gospel to the world (Matthew to the Jew, Mark to the Roman, Luke to the Greek). However, in 1924 Israel Abrahams said, “To us Jews, the Fourth Gospel is the most Jewish of the four!” How is that so? If it is so, why do so many [...]
“The Seven Togethers”
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new, 2 Corinthians 5:17
