What is acceptable worship? This article is the second in a two-part series.

Did the prophet Daniel foretell the general resurrection of the dead at the end of time (12:2), or was this a mere figure of speech pertaining to some local event?

In a previous article, I inadvertently mischaracterized Professor Daniel Wallace’s religious affiliation. He kindly corrected the matter. Here is my response.

In the final book of the Old Testament there is a stunning prophecy that deals with the mission of John the Baptizer and the Lord Jesus—who was the object of John’s preparatory work. A study of this text pays rich dividends.

Was the death of Jesus Christ a part of God’s eternal plan for human salvation? Amazingly, some have contended it was not—contrary to the explicit testimony of Peter (see 1 Peter 1:19-20).

Perhaps the most amazing thing about this procedure is the floodlight it casts upon the “person” inside the womb.

Neale Walsch is but another oddity in the modern “Ripley’s Museum” of religious freaks.

Thanksgiving in prayer is a common theme in the Bible. This article focuses upon three “tenses” of prayers of thanksgiving.

It is a stunning phenomenon that many who profess faith in Jesus Christ actually entertain a theological belief system that fails to rise to the level of the “demonic.” Reflect upon the fascinating issue with us in this article.

The doctrine of the virgin birth of Jesus is one of the lines of evidence establishing the Lord’s identity as the Son of God. 

The angel Gabriel said to Mary, a “virgin” (Lk. 1:27): "The holy thin...

Mel Gibson’s motion picture, “The Passion of the Christ,” has ignited a storm of controversy, once again raising the question, “Who was responsible for the death of Jesus of Nazareth?” This week’s Penpoints explores this “hot” topic.

A former college professor has recently disputed the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. His comments are a good example of the weakness of skepticism’s case. In this article, Wayne Jackson reviews his assertions.

The apostle John affirms that Jesus functions as an “advocate” on behalf of his people (1 Jn. 2:1). The Greek word for advocate is parakletos, literally suggesting the sense "to call to one’s side....

Each year, the ancient Hebrews would offer the “firstfruits” of their crops to God as a token of their thanksgiving for the bounty to come (Lev 2:12, 23; 23:17, 39).

In his initial letter to the s...

In his first letter to Timothy, Paul uses the expression, “lifting up holy hands” (1 Tim. 2:8). Does this suggest that one should hold up his hands when praying? Wayne Jackson addresses this question.

Jesus once said: “If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true” (John 5:31). What did the Lord mean by this puzzling statement? Certainly not what some critics allege.

Both the Bible and ancient documents refer to demons. But was demonic possession an historical reality or merely a superstition from unenlightened days?

Why are there four gospel accounts that cover so much of the same material? Are the records harmonious or do they conflict?

Does any man have the right to forgive sins? Some suggest that Jesus granted this authority to the apostles, and then, through them, to others (see John 20:23). Can you explain this passage?
