Christ taught much about sin, and we would profit from a humble reflection on some of the sayings of Jesus about sin.

A popular Christian teacher recently stated that sincere people, regardless of their religious affiliation, should not be discouraged from praying for miracles. In this week’s Penpoints, Wayne Jackson respectfully challenges this assertion.

“Jehovah’s Witnesses” contend that the term “Hell,” as used in the Bible, is a “symbol of annihilation or everlasting death in unconsciousness” from which there is to be no awakening (Make Sure of All Things, p. 155). Does this represent the truth of biblical teaching regarding Hell?

When the conditions God are happily met, one may be assured of the merciful pardon of Heaven.

Peter’s recognition of fulfilled prophecies in Acts chapter 1 affirms the inspiration of Scripture.

A study of brotherhood educational institutions regarding creation reveals startling deficiencies.

Critics often criticize figurative language in the Bible as being scientifically inaccurate. But even “scientists” use figurative language from time to time. In spite of poetic language, Psalm 19 does contain some descriptions of the sun that are scientifically precise.

Is the antichrist a character soon to be revealed on the stage of world events? Who is this person?

Will we recognize friends and loved ones in Heaven?

Does the Bible contradict itself? Skeptics frequently claim it does. But a careful consideration of the law of contradiction demonstrates otherwise.

Is there a valid connection between evidence and faith? Or is “faith” a wispy, feel-good emotion that simply “leaps” into the dark, and believes based upon a sort of “holy hunch”?

Troubled souls often raise such questions: If all parts of the Bible are equally inspired, how do you explain passages like Psalms 69:22-28, which call for punishment upon one’s enemies?

The language of this passage affirms that the human body is a work of intricate design and therefore could not have arisen by mere accident.

This striking passage clarifies the connection between one’s knowledge of the truth and his salvation.

What happens to the “soul” at the point of death? Is it conscious, or does it exist in a state of “sleep,” totally oblivious to its environment?

The account of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead helps us to understand the significance of agape love.

Mark 2:5 relates an account in which faith in Jesus is “seen.” Of what significance is this passage to the age-old “faith vs. works” discussion?

The Bible explicitly teaches that immersion is “for the remission of sins” (Acts 2:38).

For those who have any respect for the testimony of Scripture at all, the issue is clear. Moses was the author of the first five books of the Old Testament.

When the Gospel writers cite the words of Jesus, they frequently vary their terminology. This is troubling to some. Is this circumstance cause for concern?
