The Prophet’s Proof “Russel’s Teapot” is an argument advanced by the atheist, Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), which states that the burden of proof lies upon the individual who makes a claim which cannot be disproven. He said, for instance, if he … Read More

Notice the topics Moses and Jethro discussed in Exodus 18. They first asked how each other were doing (18:7), much like we would today when we see friends we haven't seen in years.

Shepherds must work diligently to instill a love for the Lord and for one another. Paul's instruction for the members is found in (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13) But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge…

This topic covers such a broad spectrum because every real problem we have is related to sin, so we’ll just briefly look at two obvious facts pertaining to the problem of sin. Sin deceives. Sin separates.
Paul opens the book of Galatians stating that he was amazed at how quickly they were being deceived by false teachers distorting the gospel. He says in verse 6, “deserting Him who called you, by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel”. In chapter 3 he asks, “O…
