BIBLE COMMENTARY

By The Berean

A commentary on Revelation 1:3

In James 1:22, the apostle admonishes us to be obedient doers, not just hearers, of the Word. In the context of this subject, it means acting and doing the commands so often embedded in the prophetic word. James’ command to act, rather than just to hear, [...]

CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD

 

By Rich Deem

Introduction 

Evolutionary biology proposes that humans evolved from ape-like ancestors. If this is true then we are nothing more than glorified apes.

ARE YOU LOST?

 

By Charles Swindoll

Being lost is a terrifying experience. A person’s head spins as panic creeps up, shouting threats like, “You’ll never find your way!” or “It’s impossible!” Fear clutches at you.
