How Should Christians Respond to Paul
Christians have diverse opinions regarding what Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 11:1–15. For example, Paul could have been writing that it is a sin for men to wear long hair like women and women to wear short hair like men. Paul’s counsel to the church at Corinth was based on Old Testament principles that superficial […]
Man’s Beliefs Have No Impact on Reality
Shortly before His death, Jesus had a private talk with His disciples. They wanted to know about the end of the world and the establishment of the kingdom of God. This discussion is recorded in Matthew 24 and 25 (portions are also found in Mark 13 and Luke 21). Please examine four statements given by […]
Laws Can Have Unintended Consequences
The Bible predicts a day is coming when God will send a sequence of judgments on the world. The Bible also predicts that mankind will respond to God’s wrath with a series of “well-intentioned laws” and unintended consequences will follow.

The Cadillac Prayer
Several years ago I met a man who was angry with God. Jesus had refused to answer his prayer. Curious, I asked the man about his unanswered prayer. He said, “I prayed for five years that Jesus would give me a new Cadillac and He didn’t.” He wasn’t joking. Seeing that he was rather bitter, […]

The seven bowls are not discussed very often because people do not think they will be affected by them. Of course, the […]
Warning! Don’t Drink the Wine of Babylon
“Mr. Wilson: Revelation 14:8 indicates that all of the nations will drink the maddening wine of Babylon’s adulteries. Who is Babylon? What is the wine of Babylon? What is Babylon’s adultery? Sincerely, Sherri” Thank you for your questions. I hope my response will be helpful because the future has a sequence of events that few […]
Why Does God Put the Ark of the Covenant on Display
God’s Ten Commandments were inscribed on two tablets of stone by His own finger, and they are called “covenant” or “testimony.”
The Sacrificial Harley
Have you ever wondered why Jesus lived thirty years on Earth before He was crucified? He could have descended from the sky on Thursday, been captured and put to death on Friday, and resurrected and taken to Heaven on Sunday, but the Father had a much bigger plan! He willed that Jesus should come to […]
