Boaz: The Redeemer from Bethlehem. Boaz stands as one of the most noble and Christlike figures in Scripture—a man of integrity, mercy, and strength whose redemption of Ruth became a living prophecy of the Gospel itself. His story, unfolding in the fields of Bethlehem, reveals how ordinary obedience can fulfill eternal promises.

The Bronze Snake: Healing by Faith, Not Magic. A bronze serpent lifted high in the wilderness might sound like myth, but it is a vivid moment in Israel’s history and a powerful prophecy of Christ. In Numbers 21 God used a bronze snake to save a rebellious nation. Later Jesus used the same image to explain His cross. Understanding this story—and how it differs from surrounding pagan myths—guards us from superstition and magnifies the gospel.

Do We Pray to the Father or to the Lord? Prayer is intimate communication with God, yet many Christians wonder: should our prayers be addressed to God the Father, to Jesus the Lord, or to the Holy Spirit? The New Testament provides clear guidance, revealing both a pattern and a freedom rooted in the unity of the Trinity.

The People Who Ate with God: Seeing God and Living to Tell (Has Anyone Seen God?) Exodus 24 records a moment both intimate and astonishing: Moses, Aaron, Aaron’s sons, and seventy elders ascended Mount Sinai, saw the God of Israel, and ate a covenant meal in His presence. How could sinful humans survive such an encounter? This episode reveals the mystery of God’s holiness and His desire for fellowship with His people—a mystery fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

Water from the Rock: The Striking Truth Behind God’s Living Water. After miraculous manna and quail, Israel still faced the most basic wilderness crisis: thirst. Twice—first at Rephidim (Exodus 17) and later at Kadesh (Numbers 20)—God brought water from solid rock. These twin miracles reveal both His patient provision and His intolerance of unbelief. They also foreshadow Christ, the true Rock who gives living water.

The Passover: Blood on the Doorposts and the Firstborn Redeemed. The night of the first Passover forever changed the calendar of Israel and the destiny of humanity. God’s final plague on Egypt—the death of the firstborn—brought both terror and salvation. The Passover shows how deliverance requires blood and points straight to Jesus, the true Lamb of God.

The Burning Bush: God’s Holy Ground and the Call of Moses. A shepherd in the wilderness, an unquenchable flame, and a voice from heaven—Exodus 3 presents one of the most defining moments in salvation history. The burning bush is more than a dramatic call; it reveals God’s holiness, His covenant name, and His plan to redeem His people. For every believer, it’s a reminder that God still calls ordinary people to extraordinary obedience.

Meat Sacrificed to Idols: Freedom, Conscience, and the Gospel. In the first-century world, meat often had a backstory. Much of it had been offered in pagan temples before showing up in the marketplace. The question was not merely culinary but spiritual: Could a Christian eat meat sacrificed to idols? The early church faced this head-on, and the way they answered still helps believers navigate moral gray areas today—issues where law and freedom intersect.

Joshua: The Faithful Warrior Who Led Israel. Joshua, Moses’ trusted assistant and successor, is one of the most courageous leaders in Scripture. He guided Israel into the Promised Land, demonstrating unwavering faith in God’s promises. His name and life point powerfully to Jesus, the ultimate Deliverer.

The Death Penalty: A Biblical and Historical Examination. Few issues generate sharper debate among Christians today than the death penalty. Some insist it is commanded by God, citing the Old Testament law. Others argue that it is abolished in Christ, pointing to Jesus’ call for forgiveness. To resolve this, we must examine Scripture carefully, consider how the early church responded, and weigh the theological implications.

Can Christians Practice Martial Arts? From ancient combat to modern fitness, martial arts have become a global phenomenon. Many train for health, self-defense, or sport. Yet for Christians, the question is deeper: can we practice martial arts in a way that honors Christ? The answer requires examining the roots of martial arts, the motivations behind training, and the biblical call to peace, restraint, and purity of heart.

Can Christians Join the Military? War has stained every page of human history, and Christians have often stood at the crossroads of conscience, asking whether they may serve in military ranks. Some point to Scripture to justify Christian participation in war, while others argue the New Testament calls believers to a higher ethic—one that resists the sword. To answer, we must look closely at what Jesus taught, how the apostles lived, and how the early church understood this qu

Are There Many Gods or One? From ancient times to the present, humanity has wrestled with the question: are there many gods or one? The Bible gives a definitive answer: there is only one true God, who alone is worthy of worship. Yet throughout history, polytheism—the belief in many gods—has lured nations and even the people of God themselves into error. This question is not only theological but practical: what we believe about God shapes how we live, worship, and trust.

Should Christians Donate Organs? Organ donation is one of the most pressing moral questions for modern believers. Some Christians hesitate, fearing that altering the body after death might dishonor God or interfere with resurrection. Yet Scripture itself provides an unexpected example: Jacob and Joseph were embalmed in Egypt, their bodies treated in ways far more invasive than modern organ donation. And yet, Jesus later affirmed that they are alive to God.

Forgiving Those Who Are Hard to Forgive. Forgiveness sounds noble until it touches the deepest wounds. It is one thing to forgive small offenses—unkind words, broken promises, or everyday irritations. But what about the unforgivable? What about betrayal by those closest to us, abuse, violence, even murder? The Bible does not shy away from these realities, and it offers a way of forgiveness that is neither shallow nor cheap.

Pentecostal Oneness: Testing the Claims by Scripture. Pentecostal Oneness teaching, sometimes called “Jesus Only,” rejects the historic Christian doctrine of the Trinity. Instead, it insists that God exists only as Jesus, and that true baptism must be “in the name of Jesus” rather than in the triune formula of Matthew 28:19.

Perez: The Breakthrough Son of Judah and Tamar. Perez, the twin son of Judah and Tamar, is one of the most significant figures in the book of Genesis because he became the forefather of King David and ultimately of Jesus Christ. Born in unusual and dramatic circumstances, his name reflects the “breach” or “breakthrough” he made at birth when he came out ahead of his brother Zerah, despite Zerah being marked with the scarlet thread.

The Binding of Isaac: Faith, Provision, and Foreshadowing. The account of Abraham being commanded to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22) is one of the most gripping narratives in the Old Testament. Known in Jewish tradition as the Akedah (the “binding”), this story is central to understanding both Abraham’s faith and God’s plan of redemption. Far from being a story of cruelty or blind obedience, it is a story of faith tested, God’s provision revealed, and Christ fore

Abraham: The Father of Faith and God’s Covenant Promise. With Abraham, the story of Scripture takes a decisive turn. From the genealogies of Noah and Terah, the narrative now focuses on one man through whom God promised to bless all nations. Abraham’s life is a story of faith, covenant, testing, and fulfillment. His journey—from Ur to Canaan, from doubt to trust, from promises to fulfillment—establishes him as one of the most significant figures in the Bible and the foundatio

The Tower of Babel and the Connection to Pentecost: A Reversal. The Tower of Babel is one of the Bible’s most famous stories, often used to explain the origin of different languages and the scattering of nations. But its significance runs deeper than a tale of human pride. When set alongside the New Testament account of Pentecost in Acts 2, Babel and Pentecost form a powerful contrast — one showing the division caused by sin, the other revealing the unity created by the Spiri
