This is copied from an article by Chuck Norris, but I believe it presents something we need to think about. The Most Underrated Part of the Inauguration by Chuck Norris 01/27/2009 I know inaugural news and commentary are already passé.

The church is: (a) a body (b) of baptized believers (c) called out from the world (d) over which Christ is the head (e) directed by the Holy Spirit through the Word of truth. This is the real meaning of the word Jesus used in Matthew 16:18. When the word is used in this manner, [...]

The Minor Prophets are a set of twelve books of the Old Testament that we too seldom visit. When we do study them, they prove depressing. They are too descriptive of America today, with the things they tell us were wrong in Israel and Judah. We can see that we are on a slippery slope [...]

Or should we pray for him to fail? If that sounds like a heretical question, hear me out… I’m not suggesting whether we should or shouldn’t, mind you. I’m just wanting you to think about the question, and answer it according to Scripture. We often cite Romans 13:1-4 as proof that we should pray for [...]

Have you ever thought about that? Indeed, what about animal sacrifice? Why don’t we observe it today? Isn’t the God we serve, the God of the Israelites — the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Don’t the same things please Him now that pleased Him in the days of the prophets? Yes, we do serve [...]

Can you believe in both evolution and the Bible? I don’t think you can, and this is a good place to show that. Those who claim to believe the Genesis account of creation and yet cling to evolution often claim that the “days” of Genesis 1 were actually long geological ages, and not days of [...]
