“WHAT IS TRUTH?’” (2)
Truth is one of the most interesting studies a person may engage in! However, many stand with Pilate, and continue to ask: “What is truth,” as though there is no such thing as “truth.” Like one plus one, may at some time not equal two! Cut it up anyway you like; such as: one half …

MOTHER
There is one word that speaks more than most other words; and we each have one. Mother is the most beautiful; no, we are not talking about her looks but her character. If you desire to show love, just show a mother; if you want to explain kindness, just bring on a mother; if you …

“WHAT IS TRUTH?’” (1)
To the person who reads the New Testament, the words which serve as the subject of this article, will be identified immediately, as the question which Pontius Pilate asked Jesus. Truth is the desire of all honest people, no matter the field. Whether the subject is justice, science, math, or religion, the honest person is …

HERMENEUTICS (8)
In this last article dealing with “hermeneutics,” and really just looking at what we have called: “Hermeneutics 101;” we will undertake to reach an understanding of Peter’s words at the house of Cornelius. Of course, this means our attention will be directed to Acts chapter ten. Here we will answer those questions which fall within …

HERMENEUTICS (7)
In this seventh article on “Hermeneutics,” we are calling attention to basic Hermeneutics. For instance, if you were to read a letter with these words: “I will give you a million dollars;” does it mean that “you” will receive from “me” a million dollars? Sounds simple, does it not? The first thing “you” need to …

HERMENEUTICS (6)
Is it laziness on our part that we take a passage (verse) out of its context; or is it an honest mistake? Without being able to read the mind of another, I am unable to answer, but we sure have reason to question; why do preachers and others keep on taking the same verse out …

HERMENEUTICS (5)
Hermeneutics, as in “Hermeneutics 101,” now takes another step in determining the truth being taught in a verse. Basic to Hermeneutics as noted in the first four articles has for the most part, answered the questions: 1) Who is speaking; 2) To whom was it said; and 3) When was it said? In this article, …

HERMENEUTICS (4)
How many times have you read or heard the words, “house to house,” as it related to evangelism? Before going any further, let it be known that it is my opinion that the best way to do evangelism is in someone’s house, “sitting at the kitchen table!” We generally call this action, “personal evangelism.” It …

HERMENEUTICS (3)
So many who desire to study the Bible, yet dislike even the word, “hermeneutics!” Therefore, let us recall the meaning of the word; it means: “1. The science of interpretation, especially of the Scriptures. 2. The branch of theology that deals with the principles of Biblical exegesis” (Dictionary.Com). Therefore, no matter how you read and …

HERMENEUTICS (2)
As we continue to study the subject of Hermeneutics; we can look at the first article as Hermeneutics 101! The reason for this is that we looked at the subject in the simplest manner possible! Yet, if we will ask those basic questions as we study the Bible, they will clear up a lot of …
