2 Peter 2:5 “And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;” We know that Noah’s selection to be preserved was not a random accident. On the contrary – in Genesis 6:8, we read that “Noah found grace […]

A New Testament published by the Danish Bible Society has removed the name Israel, except in one place. Called Bible 2020, it replaces Israel with “Jews,” “the land of the Jews,” or an alternative generic term. Reviewer Jan Frost says that “the publishers justified the change by claiming that the ‘Israel’ referred to in the Bible is

Genesis 4:17 “And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.” The subject of Cain’s wife is often used as an excuse for not believing the account in Genesis. The problem is stated thus.

Bible teacher, educator, Bible conference speaker, editor of The Fundamentals, and one of the most prominent evangelists in the heyday of America’s revivals, said that he believed that only 10% of those who professed to be believers were really converted (cited from William Ashbrook, Evangelicalism The New Neutralism, p. 118).

“Free speech is the foundation upon which a free society is built and when freedom of speech is taken away, society is no longer actually free.

Genesis 1:25 “And God made … every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.” I thought I would entitle this Creation Moment “Invasion of the Spiders” just to get arachnophobes worked up! Don’t worry – I am one of those arachnophobes! I am really not keen

Isaiah 59:5 “They hatch cockatrice’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.” Spiders are unpleasant enough without seeing them jump. But there is a whole family of jumping spiders, which is enough to terrify even the mildest arachnophobe. But

Speaking at a papal mass on April 8, Pope Francis said, “Something that calls my attention is that Jesus never calls him ‘traitor’: Jesus says he will be betrayed, but he doesn’t say to Judas, ‘traitor.’ He never says, ‘Go away, traitor.’ Never. In fact, he calls him, ‘Friend,’ and he kisses him. How did

Psalm 8:3-4 “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?” When I was in primary school, my teacher came out with a weird scientific fact about Saturn.

“On February 2018 Dr. Steve Pettit, president of Bob Jones University, praised Dr. Billy Graham’s ministry and his legacy. During a chapel message on November 7th of 2019, Dr. Pettit praised the ministry of Dr. Billy Kim. Dr. Kim has always been a lover of the Graham ministry. It is a well-documented fact that Graham
