When Was Jesus Born? - Dec 5, 2007
Let me begin by saying right up front that no one knows exactly when Jesus was born because the Bible does not clearly answer this question. That doesn't mean the question is unimportant, only that it is not essential to our Christian faith. As we approach Christmas this year, it is good to remind o ... More
Can I Lose My Salvation? - Philippians 1:6 - Nov 2, 1997 - 525
I would like to begin with the observation that this is a controversial question in Christian circles. It would be difficult to find a subject about which believers are more deeply divided.

Christ B.C. Part IV: Born of a Virgin - Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23 - Dec 24, 1995 - 68
Christmas is an amazing time of year. Yesterday I ran across a statement that sums it up: "Isn't it amazing that a baby born in a stable 2,000 years ago can cause traffic jams this week?" I am thankful for this season. We Christians ought to enjoy Christmas more than anyone. Don't be a Scrooge ... More
