Maybe because it's uncomfortable, or maybe because it's inconvenient, Christians and non-Christians alike are overlooking the fierceness of the Savior, His passionate mission to make the Gospel clear and bring people into the Kingdom of God.

Although the thoughts and ideas of Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud have no doubt greatly impacted modern civilization, still many of their central doctrines remain shrouded in ambiguity, imprecision, and lack of evidence. The fact that they all shamelessly engaged in continuous revisions, denials, and withdrawals of multiple aspects and even key features of their core doctrines during their lifetimes makes concise and authentic descriptions of these doctrines exceedingly difficult, if not untenable. Yet bounteous homage, fervent respect, and near-sacred reverence of these ...

Though Christians affirm that the Old Testament bears witness to Christ, how the Old Testament writers did this is a matter of extensive debate.

The defining reality of the eternal destiny of the lost, the unforgiven and unredeemed, is also the last words given in Scripture for that topic – the second death. The second death involves the separation of the unrepentant, recalcitrant sinner from God and all His blessings. In contrast, the defining reality of the saved, the forgiven and redeemed, is the eternal intimate presence and blessings of God Himself. Hell’s curse is the divine departure of God. Heaven’s blessing is the unprecedented presence of God with His people.

To attempt to study Scripture without studying its law is to deny it. To attempt to understand Western civilization apart from the impact of biblical law within it and upon it is to seek a fictitious history and to reject 20 centuries and their progress. The Institutes of Biblical Law has as its purpose a reversal of the present trend. it is called "Institutes" in the older meaning of that word--i.e., fundamental principles, here of law, because it is intended as a beginning, as an instituting consideration of that law that must govern society.

Today in the West, many consider the church to be dead or dying. Christianity is seen as outdated, bigoted, and responsible for many of society’s problems. This leaves many believers embarrassed about their faith and many outsiders wary of religion. But what if the Christian message is not the enemy of our modern Western values, but the very thing that makes sense of them? In this fascinating book, Glen Scrivener takes listeners on a journey to discover how the teachings of Jesus not only turned the ancient world upside down, but continue to underpin the way we think.

The so-called ‘New Perspective on Paul’, herein called the New Pauline Perspective (NPP), has been significantly impacting and re-shaping Christian doctrine in earnest in varied ways for nearly fifty years, yet for a much longer period of time when the historical development of its central precepts, tenets, and philosophical assumptions and presuppositions is brought into consideration. It began its particularly modern rendition with the audacious claim that Western churches, especially Protestants since the Reformation, have gotten Paul all wrong for the past 2,000 years mainly because...
