I would think that anyone who values straight talk has a hard time of it during national election years. Now, more than ever, politicians are looking for the right buzz word or the right connection to the latest polling data which will up his/her chances of being elected. Every sentence, even every word, is scrutinized […]

The Archaeological Study Bible
Understanding a work of literature by determining the author’s intent and perspective is a critical element in the study of all primary literature. Any worthwhile teacher would fail a student who assumed the theme or intent of a literary work on his own terms without delving into the author’s purpose in writing the work. We […]
Dead Sea Scrolls CD
Because some of the actual Dead Sea Scrolls are on exhibit in Kansas City for three months, our church bought as many tickets as possible and will be going to see them. I then pulled out this CD which I have had for quite a few years. We will be viewing the CD for a […]

Baptists and the Bible

The authors’ purpose was to show how Baptists have believed in the verbal inspiration and authority of the Scripture.

This book emphasized three truths especially: The Lord Jesus Christ in the believer’s life; the Bible as God’s inspired Word equal to the very words of […]
Essentials and Nonessentials
Most things in life could be categorized into essential or nonessential, depending on the priorities at hand. The basic necessities of life are essential if we want to stay alive.

Breaking the DaVinci Code
After reading and reviewing (see our web site) The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, I have been reading various reviews and many refutations of the book.

In the last few years we have been inundated with information from within political circles that has been crafted by certain individuals but is intended to be heard by the general public. Sometimes this is a “trial balloon” of information, floated in public conversation to evaluate its effect. Often it is a specific piece of […]
