An Introduction to Biblical Ethics

Apologetics, Book Reviews, Christian Living, Featured / Mike Boling / November 10, 2014

We all make ethical decisions all throughout the day. If I leave work early surely the boss won’t mind if I don’t note that early departure as vacation time. After all, I work hard for the company and they owe me. Only 45 mph in a construction zone? There is nobody around and I need

Christian Living, Featured / Dave Jenkins / November 7, 2014

If you talk much about prayer chances are some people will feel guilty. At least this is my experience. Regular prayer is part and parcel of what a healthy Christian is. Churches that equip people to pray well are one’s that are growing. Charles Spurgeon once took several visitors around his church. During the course

Book Reviews, Church History, Featured / Dave Jenkins / October 31, 2014

Few issues are as important and as neglected as church history. God’s people need to understand how their faith is not something new but rather something old, and rooted in the history of God’s redeeming purposes. Church history helps God’s people not only understand what they believe and why it matters but also what the

The Storytelling God: Seeing the Glory of Jesus in His Parables

Book Reviews, Christian Living, Featured, Theology / Mike Boling / October 30, 2014

The parables of Jesus have long been beloved portions of Scripture. From the Parable of the Good Samaritan to the Parable of the Prodigal Son, these stories have provided believers with object lessons on the Kingdom of God and the Christian life. Unfortunately, many have viewed the parables as little more than moral stories with

Life in Christ: Studies in 1 John

Apologetics, Book Reviews, Christian Living, Featured / Mike Boling / October 29, 2014
