Serious Christian Bible Study

There is nothing like the crispness of an early Fall morning. When the skies are clear and the only sound in the neighborhood is an occasional, distant, bark of a dog, I can enjoy the few sweet moments of solitude before the day gets going. At this time of the year, the great constellation Orion [...]

I’m sitting in the middle of nowhere right now. I’m in the woods and a long way from the busy world. I’m sitting under an old water oak and just noticing God. A few minutes ago a single orange butterfly came by. Soon it was joined by two more. Now the three are happily frolicking [...]

It’s over. The battle has been fought. We lost. It’s true, science has finally beaten the Bible. New Age spiritualist Deepak Chopra, a friend of Michael Jackson, Oprah Winfrey and an author of many self-help books has offered two pronouncements: Science has won over Genesis and organized religion is unnecessary. The Indian born American educated [...]

The Minor Prophets are one of five subsets of the Old Testament. The other four being the Pentateuch, History, Wisdom Literature and the Major Prophets. The grouping includes the books of Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi. Far from being a collection of obscure prophecies from people with [...]

God hears prayers. Do we hear God? When God speaks He speaks loudly. But sometimes He seems so far away. We have real and immediate problems and we pray for his guidance yet it never seems to come. If God really cares then he shouldn’t seem so far away. God loves us deeply and cares [...]

The first verse of the Bible says a lot. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” God marks the beginning and ending of all we know. He was present at the first sunrise and will be the one to bring everything to an end. It’s hard to think about but God came [...]

Have you ever heard someone say, “I just can’t understand the Bible!” Or maybe this one, “Well, that’s just your interpretation. Ask 10 people what a verse means and you will get 10 different answers.” I’m sure you have either heard these comments or maybe even made them yourself. Truthfully, they are bogus. That’s right, [...]

Eastern Shore profited greatly last night from a lesson from Dr. Randall Bailey of Faulkner University. In fact, Bailey knocked it out of the park with a lesson primarily from the Old Testament but with major New Testament implications. He demonstrated God’s holiness through his tabernacle instructions and his demand for holiness and purity through [...]

Have you ever though of what you expect from God? Some people see God as a magical genie just waiting to grant some wish to his “master.” They expect God to be at their beckon and call. Of course others expect God to be an angry old man just waiting for you to step out [...]

Hell helps. Strange as it may seem, Hell really does help the Christian understand much about God. People are often so disgusted by the thought of a place of eternal punishment that they try to discard the idea or block it out of their minds. Some go so far as to declare Christianity morally bankrupt [...]

The wrath of God is real. It is not something to trifle with or make light of. God is angry over man’s sin. Not until we understand just how awful sin is, we will never understand God’s righteous indignation. I am a Christian in part because of that wrath. Oddly enough, many non-believers use the [...]

I am a Christian. I am a believer in an almighty God who sent his son to die for my sins. My reasons for being a Christian are many and varied but I plan to offer the top 20 here. I’ll list them today and then expand upon them in coming weeks. This list is [...]

Valentine’s Day in the United States is a busy day for people in love. Greeting card manufacturers peg it as the second largest card giving day behind Christmas. It’s a busy time for the candy business and the restaurant industry too. For what it’s worth, experts note that men spend about twice as much on [...]

(What follows is a question from a student in our Bible Correspondence Courses. We post it here for anyone else who may have wondered the same thing.) Why is God a jealous God when jealousy is a sin? This is an excellent question which shows that you are looking deeper into God’s word. Let me [...]
