Does God Just Wink When Our Sins Hurt Others?
By Jim Myers
Our religious belief systems play a major role in creating our realities, what we believe about God and how we treat others. How we answer the above question depends on what our religious beliefs are. Finding the answer begins with how we define sin. Religions have very different definitions for this very familiar word. It must be noted that even groups or denominations of one religion may have significant differences, too.

Letting the Bible Tell Its Own Story
By Jim Myers
The Bible is the most famous book in the history of the world and there are many different beliefs about it. Some believe that the words of their Bible are the inerrant and infallible word of God. Others say they are inspired by God, but are not to be taken literally. And, still others view them as traditions, legends and myths. What people believe about the Bible makes a big difference in the way its words affect their lives.

How & What Did Jesus Teach His Disciples?
By Jim Myers
The Jewish Jesus was a teacher and the men he called to be the apostles were called “disciples,” which means they were students. The Jesus Movement was a movement built upon an educational model.  The definition of the word “teach” is “to cause to know,” so what did Jesus want his disciples to know? Click Here

Carrying the Teachings
By Dr. Ike Tennison
“If any one comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into the house or give him any greeting.” (2 John 10)

The first time I really studied (not just read!) this passage, I came away somewhat puzzled. The reason I was puzzled had to do with the words “…does not bring this doctrine….”  How would the person who goes to answer the door know whether or not the person at the door was bringing this doctrine with him or her?  Click Here

The Greatest Commandments

It is clear that the leaders of the Pharisees and Sadducees were very interested in Jesus’ position on issues that were important to them. It was in an encounter with a lawyer, who was also a Pharisee, that Jesus that was asked a question that members of other Jewish sects would have been very interested in knowing his answer. The question was this – “Which commandment is the greatest commandment?”

The End Didn't Come -- Again! 
In case you haven’t heard, the end of the world was supposed to have taken place on May 21, 2011according to Reverend Harold Camping -- and it didn’t. He is a man with a track record, because he also predicted the end would take place on  September 6, 1994 . You have to admit that he sticks to his guns though – he is now predicting that the “end of the world” will take place on  October 21, 2011 . Why does he keep doing it?
