New Testament Accuracy
In my last article, I started to explore some reasons for accepting the validity of the Old Testament. We briefly discussed the historical, archeological, and prophetic evidence, and saw a solid basis for accepting them as fact. Today, I want to move to the New Testament to examine some of the credentials for its acceptance. It is the New Testament, after all, that contains the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Why Are You A Christian?
I often hear the question, “So, why are you a Christian, anyway?” I can honestly say that one reason is that I am truly confident that what the New Testament teaches is accurate, reliable, and true.

Jesus wants the Church to be one Church – His Church, His Bride. Yet, division, lack of support, and infighting prevail in many Christian circles today. Such actions between the brethren are a slap in the face of Christ [...]
