Maybe you’ve seen them in a political speech. Maybe you’ve seen them in news interviews. Perhaps you’ve seen them on signs. Very likely, you see them every day in your social media. It seems like you just can’t get aways from them. I’m talking about “buzzwords.” According to Miriam Webster, a buzzword is “an important-sounding usually technical word or phrase often of…

Every first day of the week, members of the Lord’s church assemble to worship their heavenly Father according to the Scriptures (cf. Acts 20:6-7; 1 Cor. 11:18-32; 1 Cor. 16:1-2).

Because, if God entrusted the gift of His word…

It is often the case that we find issues facing the church where the Bible does not seem to provide any commandments. If the Bible makes us “…thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16) and “…has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness…” (2 Pet. 1:3), how can it be that we are left in the dark…

After a little break, we are continuing this series of articles looking at principles of interpretation that will help you understand the Bible.
