Sheep Without a Shepherd

BY MATT NOBLE: "When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things." - Mark 6:34 Turkish shepherds watched in horror as hundreds of their sheep followed each other over a cliff, say Turkish reports. First, one sheep went over the cliff edge, only to be followed by the whole flock, according to the reports. More than 400 sheep…

Pardoned and Glorified

BY BURK PARSONS: If you've read Victor Hugo's classic work Les Miserables, or if you've seen the stage production or film, you'll recall the scene wherein the bitter criminal Jean Valjean has been released from prison and finds safe harbor at a bishop's home. Instead of returning the bishop's kindness, Valjean steals his silver, strikes him, and flees in the night. After Valjean is caught by the arresting officer, who represents the law, he brings Valjean before the bruised bishop…

Introducing Jesus: Where Do You Start?

BY DR. JOE ALLOTTA: The life of Jesus is recorded in the 4 Gospels, and they each reminisce about Him in a slightly different light. The first time Jesus is introduced actually illuminates quite a bit about how he will be presented. Let's get started: Mateo 1:1 The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham. So Matt wastes no time introducing Jesus. Verse 1, the first sentence establishes Jesus as human…

The Surprising Return of Elijah

BY DR. STUART PARSONS: Outside of college duties, I assist an outside ministry named GotQuestions.org, by answering questions that readers pose. A reader recently asked, In Matthew 17:12, when Jesus said that Elijah has come already, then in verse 13 when it says that the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist, were the disciples mistaken in their assumption that Jesus was referring to John the Baptist? This question calls us to see an insight that…

Why Christian Education?

BY JONATHAN REYES: Why Christian Education? That is a good question, and if I can admit, I will be biased because I am a product of Christian Education. I must admit that on the surface Christian Education sounds like Bible study, but I can attest that Christian education is simply education that stems from a Christian worldview. Before I discuss my reasoning on why Christian Education is important, I would like for you to understand my background. Growing up I…

Why Pastors Should Never Touch Church Money

BY DR. JOE ALLOTTA: There are only 2 ways for a Pastor to get on the evening news, a sex scandal or a money scandal. (If you feed 100,000 homeless people or cure cancer you might make the religious section of your town's second-biggest newspaper.) I'll deal with avoiding sex scandals some other time. Oh wait, I can do it in one sentence. Just sleep with your wife. Hmm, that was easy. (Well, I'll still dig deeper into some other…

Celiac, Servitude and Sovereignty

Celiac, Servitude, and Sovereignty By Dr. Krista Mallo What I believe about Creation matters I am constantly amazed at God's handiwork. When I see a sunset I am reminded that the heavens declare the glory of God. I hear the birds chirping in the morning, and I am amazed that God created so many similar creatures, but they are all different enough to know the sounds of their own kind. I understand that God is perfect in every possible way,…

Why Do Good Things Happen to Bad People?

Why Do Bad Thing Happen to Good People? Most people ask, Why do bad things happen to good people? I'll give you my answer, too, just for kicks and giggles. But I think the tougher question is in the title. It seems counter-productive for God to allow good things to happen to people who want nothing to do with Him. Don't people usually turn to God when in crisis? Scripture is filled with passages that essentially say that it rains…
