I would clarify that, in asking what kind of car should I drive, I am not suggesting that God has a specific car that I must purchase in order to be within His will. However, since Paul says, "Whatever you do, whether you eat or drink, do all to the glory of God," it seems clear that choices in the ...

Sam, Why are you so concerned to show that no one in the church ever taught that seizures are caused by demon possession? We know that many in the church taught that the earth is flat, and that spontaneous generation produces maggots. Why should we be concerned about the errors that were made by ear...

I have a lecture called "The Grace of Contentment," that can be heard at http://www.digitalministries.us/steve_gregg/mp3/topical/the_grace_of_contentment.mp3 What does contentment look like? It looks like resignation to the will of God, and fulfillment in it. This is not compatible with passivity, b...

The Narrow Path in Las Vegas?
This just kind of fell into our lap. The manager at KKMC, Salinas, knew of an hour open at another station in Las Vegas (KKVV, AM 1060), managed by a friend of his. Right now, the hour of our live broadcast is available on this station, but only on Wednesdays. "The Bible Answer Man" is carried on th...

As both JC and TK point out at the other thread that he has linked above, my view is that the most important and controlling phrase in Jesus' statement is "for yourselves." Nothing we own is ours, and the early Christians did not claim that anything they possessed was their own (Acts 4:32). It all b...

There is no sin in being prosperous, and, if the money really served to provide legitimate provisions for the family, even increasing, in some respects, their standard of living, I would see no problem with receiving the inheritance as a blessing from God. Especially, if you have been faithful with ...

The man who sowed good seeds is the Son of Man—who is the King of the kingdom. The good seed He sowed are the children of the kingdom—who are His subjects. This is the kingdom of God (or of heaven)—King Jesus and His subjects. The fact that an enemy intrudes into the story does not take away from th...

My view has always been that, since the field is the world, Jesus is not discussing the composition of the church but of the human race—some are children of the kingdom, and others are children of the evil one. That some of the latter might creep into the formal church assembly does not seem to be a...

When people already hold a particular view, it is natural enough for them to find verses or arguments from scripture to bolster their presuppositions, whether the Bible really supports them or not. Belief in a flat earth has been in vogue at various times in history. The error cannot be blamed on th...
