Made in God’s Image
Just for curiosity, I was reading several articles about imago Dei, the “image of God.” It has long been debated what God actually meant when He said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…” (Genesis 1:26). What does Made in God’s image mean? The conclusion I was forced to come to is…
Who Wrote the Bible?
Is the Bible the word of God? Or is it the words of men? The Bible claims to be the Word of God and the Bible proves to be the Word of God. We’re going to show how this is the only book in the world that really claims to be, and proves to be,…
New Year’s Resolution – Spending Time in Your Bible
Every year thousands, perhaps millions, of Christians resolve to read their Bibles through in the coming year. And if you are like me, you do okay until you get to around Leviticus or Numbers.

He Came from Heaven to Earth
What do you imagine heaven to be like? Maybe you think of it as some kind of glorified Las Vegas or New York City with all the entertainment possibilities imaginable, lots to see and do, buskers on every corner, food choices galore. Oh, of course we read about the streets of gold, the fruit trees…

God Makes Himself Known through Jesus
Every Christmas for many years, Paul Harvey would retell the parable of the Man and the Birds.[1] In brief, it involved a man who saw a flock of birds in distress on a cold snowy morning. He tried to get them to go into a nearby barn for shelter, but they would not go. He…
God Makes Himself Known Through Scripture
In two previous articles we talked in a general sense about what revelation is, and how God has revealed some things about Himself through the things He created. Look’s look at how God makes himself known through scripture. Now we come to the first of two avenues of revelation known as “special revelation.” In this article…
Coming Home Because of Christmas:
How the Exodus Prefigured in Abraham Points to Our Redemption in Christ
I will never forget that snowy December evening as I sat by myself in an empty hotel restaurant. It was two days before Christmas and my flight from Canada back to the States had been canceled. So there I was, in a spacious pink and green booth, eating dinner while Christmas songs played throughout the…
