SUNDAY STUDY: Why?
By Henry M. Morris, Ph.D. @ICR.org
“Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?” (Romans 9:20)
In this scientific age, it is essential for us to remember that “science” can never answer any question beginning with “why.” Scientific research seeks to answer questions of “what” and “how” and sometimes “where…
SUNDAY STUDY: Why The Tribulation?
By W. Livingston @versebyverseministry.org
We speak of Christ’s return as a second coming because it will be the second time Christ resides on the earth.
The Bible does teach another type of appearance of Jesus, which is fundamentally different than either His first or His second comings. This other appearance is a kind of return but only to “the clouds” (i.e., in the sky) to retrieve the Churc…
SUNDAY STUDY: Does God Call Everyone?
A Bible Study by Jack Kelley @gracethrufaith.com
I’ve received several variations of the question in the title of this study, so I assume it’s on the minds of many more. Here’s a representative question and my response.
Q. In a recent article you said, “Romans 8:29-30 tells us that God foreknew every person from throughout the age of man who would choose to accept Him as their Savior. He predes…
SUNDAY STUDY: Abortion: Is It a Woman’s Choice?
By Ken Ham, from Answers with Ken Ham radio program.
Those who argue for abortion tell us it’s a woman’s choice whether to have a baby. They argue that it is her body and her choice. After all, it is her body . . . right?
We know that an appendix or kidney is part of your body and has no separate consciousness. When someone has an emergency appendectomy or a kidney transplant, there are no mor…
SUNDAY STUDY: God of Jacob, God of Israel
Excerpted from Dave Hunt’s TheBereanCall.org
The true God who created us for a purpose holds mankind responsible for creation’s witness to His existence and for obedience to the moral laws He has implanted in every conscience (Rom 1:18-25; 2:14-16). He will not be used. Furthermore, just as human beings are jealous of their individual identities, obviously the true God would insist on being pro…
SUNDAY STUDY: Atonement and Redemption, Same or Different?
By Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum of Ariel.org
Atonement is universal whereas, redemption is individual. Atonement therefore is the foundation of redemption, and not redemption itself. The work of atonement is already finished. Christ is the living bread, the bread of atonement, which, if a man eats, he shall live forever. But he who eats not of this bread shall die, being destitute of wisdom, righteo…
SUNDAY STUDY: Creation and the New Year
By Henry M. Morris, Ph.D. @icr.org
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)
It is appropriate for Christians to begin the New Year by referring back to the beginning of the very first year. The first verse of God’s Word is also its most important verse, since it is the foundation on which everything else is built. Even God’s great work of salvation is irrelevant an…
Happy New Year 2025!
By Oswald Chambers @utmost.org
Security From Yesterday “…God requires an account of what is past” (Ecclesiastes 3:15). At the end of the year we turn with eagerness to all that God has for the future, and yet anxiety is apt to arise when we remember our yesterdays. Our present enjoyment of God’s grace tends to be lessened by the memory of yesterday’s sins and blunders. But God is the God of our…
SUNDAY STUDY: After Christmas
Excerpted from Focus on the Family
Christmas day has passed. Jesus was born in a manger, as promised. All the promises of Jesus’s coming have passed, including His death and resurrection.
In the season of advent, we prepare our hearts for the coming King. Christmas day we get to rejoice for the King has come. Jesus gave us new life through His sacrifice, “the Word became flesh.”
Why did Jesus …
SUNDAY STUDY #2: Signs of Christmas
From Henry M. Morris, Ph.D. @ Days of Praise; Institute for Creation Research
“Moreover the LORD spoke again unto Ahaz, saying, Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.” (Isaiah 7:10-11)
Although “the Jews require a sign” (1 Corinthians 1:22), and this attitude was rebuked by Christ when He said that “an evil and adulterous generation seeketh afte…
SUNDAY STUDY #1: Hanukkah and Christmas on the Same Day, a Rare Occurrence
Two holidays will be celebrated across the country, as the first night of Hanukkah falls on the same day as Christmas.
The Jewish celebration of the festival of lights begins at sundown Wednesday, just as Christians are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
Christmas and Hanukkah on the same day is rare. The Hebrew calendar not aligning with the Gregorian calendar, causes the start of the Han…
SUNDAY STUDY: Rapture and Revelation
By William E. Blackstone. “Jesus Is Coming”, Chapter 9: Rapture and Revelation.
Two things are of vital importance, in order to the right understanding of this subject, and these are:
First. The distinction between the Rapture and the Revelation.
Rapture means to be caught up, or away.
Revelation (apokalypsis) means Appearing or shining forth or manifestation.
The Rapture occurs when the Church…
