Acts

Are You Ready?

There are many places in the world today where it is dangerous to be a Christian. But how did Paul respond to danger? There were instances, like when Paul was in Ephesus, where he had to flee for his life. But in this story his response was different.

The Importance of Accuracy

In Acts 18 we get introduced to a man named Apollos. He was a well educated man and he knew about Jesus, but his information was incomplete. Fortunately for him, there were people listening to his message and willing to share more about Jesus.

The Unknown God

I was recently in Asia and there were several instances when I saw people bringing sacrifices and incense to lay before their idols. When I saw that I could not help but think of Paul in Athens as he looked on the idols of that city.

Doctrine
Rev. Scott Elliott
The Inerrancy of Scripture

To say that the Bible is inerrant is to say that there are no errors or mistakes in the Bible. The doctrine of inerrancy is inseparable from the doctrine of inspiration. It’s quite simple actually. If God told Moses to write something down and God is the author, then there can be no mistake because God is perfect.

The Inspiration of Scripture

2 Timothy 3:16 tells us that “all scripture is breathed out by God” and therefore God is the ultimate author and source of every word in scripture. There were over forty authors writing with their own unique styles and yet every one of them was guided by the Holy Spirit.

The Gospel in Genesis

Many people, in their efforts to embrace evolution and the big bang have abandoned Genesis 1-11. We have established in previous emails that the early chapters of Genesis are the inspired Word of God. Everything recorded actually happened as it is described.

The First Death Ever

The First Death Ever

It's plain and simple. Death is a result of sin. Death is the punishment for sin. Before Adam and Eve had sinned there was no death. I think we can all agree that we don't like thinking about the pain and suffering associated with death.

Is your Christmas list ready?

The decorations, the music and the lights remind us each day that we are in the Christmas season. Many people spend a lot of time this season in preparation for Christmas. Maybe you decorate your house to get it ready for guests.

How old is the Earth?

Scientists have all kinds of dating methods to try and determine the age of the earth, but all of their methods produce different answers. So how do we know how old it really is? We can calculate it pretty easily using the Bible.

Light Before Sun?

How could there be light before God created the sun? This is a great question and also a common one. Let's dive into scripture to find the answer. First let's look at the account of what happened on the first day:

Thankfulness

I sit across from people all of the time who are trying to figure out God's secret will. They want to know God's plans and the things that he has kept for himself. All the while they ignore the fact that many of the things in God's will he has already revealed to us in scripture.

The Value of Life

For Christians, life is a gift from God. Every person on the face of the earth was made by him and for him. The value we place on life comes from the fact that each person has been made in the image of God.

Living for God's Glory

Many people like to ask the question, "what is the meaning of life?" For Christians, the answer is not a mystery. The meaning of my life and the meaning of yours is to bring God glory. In fact, everything that exists was created for this singular purpose.

Is Jesus enough?

Jesus is very clear that he is the only way to salvation. There is nothing you can do to perform your way into heaven. There is no other person that you can turn to and there's no other path that can lead you there.

What is faith?

What is faith?

Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us that, "by grace you have been saved through faith." Not only is it grace alone, but it's also faith alone, or Sola Fide, as the reformers put it. But what does it mean to be saved by faith? What exactly is faith?

Do good people go to heaven?

The short answer is no. Why? Because no one is good. In Psalm 53:3, David said this about humanity: “They have all fallen away; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.”

What is a worldview?

What is a worldview? Simply put, it’s the way we look at the world. It’s the lens we use to interpret what’s happening all around us. As Christians, our lens is the Word of God. The Bible has something to say about every aspect of life.

Does everyone pray to the same God?

Do Americans all believe in the same God? A popular idea in our culture is that “all people pray to the same god or spirit, no matter what name they use for that god.” But is that true? Are we all talking about the same God?

One Truth

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard someone say, “What’s true for you is not what’s true for me.” This statement perfectly depicts the most influential worldview that our students are facing today… postmodernism.

The Presence of God

Mordecai became someone who the Jews both respected and loved. The reason why is amazing. Verse three of the passage said, "he sought the welfare of his people and spoke peace." The reason the people like him was because he truly cared for them.

Jewish Halloween?

Jewish Halloween? Yes... You read that right... I should probably mention that one of my friends is a Jewish Rabbi. To this day the Jews still celebrate the holiday of Purim. My Rabbi friend once invited me and my buddy to come to the synagog for their Purim festivities and well... It felt like Halloween...

Passion for People

What I love most about Esther here is that we see her pleading and weeping over the lives of her people. How much do we do that? We have been granted the privilege of bowing before the throne of the King of Kings! How often do we approach him to plead for the lives of others?

Everything Made Right

The moment has finally come for Esther to make her request to the king. She reveals Haman's plot and Haman is executed on the very gallows he built to hang Mordecai. It's not only the ultimate irony of the story, but it's also the moment where everything is made right.

This has to be one of the best ironies in the whole story so far. Right before Haman tells the king about the gallows built for Mordecai the king decides to honor Mordecai. Haman is forced to honor the man that he is planning on executing!

I have a feeling that if Esther had decided to walk up to the king and tell him her concerns immediately, that it probably wouldn't have gone well. As you already know, timing is everything! Let's admit it, you've probably wanted something from your parents before but decided to wait until the right moment to ask them.
