In an effort to exhort his readers to obey God and not neglect the great salvation of which they had tasted, the inspired writer of Hebrews drew a lesson from the past, making a compelling argument from the lesser to the greater. The “lesser”:  “For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward”…

A gas pipe line near the Turnpike in Stuart exploded this morning and a car accident happened about the same time.  Which came first? Initially, it was believed that the car ran into the pipe line (accident first, then explosion), but later it was determined that the pipe line must have exploded first, then flying debris caused the car accident. An elderly…

It is intriguing to read the Bible and read the accommodative language and terms that are used for God, in order that His care, activity and awareness of those things on this earth might be abundantly clear to us.  While “a spirit does not have flesh and bones” (Luke 24:39), such are ascribed to God in Scripture repeatedly to make Him more…
