The Trinity and the One and the Many
The history of the Medal of Honor is the history of men and women who have acted bravely on the belief that the need of the many outweighed the need of the one. They sacrificed themselves to save the

Before we existed, was God lonely and needing someone with whom to fellowship? Of course not! Because He has always existed as a trinity of persons who share the one, undivided essence of deity, the

How would you demonstrate that your love is perfect? If you’re all by yourself it is pretty hard to prove that you have love. But if you are in relationship with someone, experiencing the rough and

There is no other view of God like that of Christianity! The concept of God as a triune being, the Trinity, has been a source of stumbling for many. Islam, which was created about 600 years after Christ,

If there is one thing we know clearly from Scripture it is that there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 44:6; 1 Corinthians 8:6). But the other thing we know clearly from Scripture is that Jesus

How do you “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17)? It is, of course, physically and mentally impossible to pray every minute of the day, and it would leave little room for doing the many other

It is the common practice for us to begin or end our prayers “in Jesus’ name.” This is because Jesus instructed us on several occasions to pray in His name. And I will do whatever you ask in my

“If we ask anything according to His will, he hears us” (1 John 5:14). If we know the will of God in a matter, then we can pray with the confidence Jesus talked about when he said, “Whatever you

Prayer is a concession from God to man to take the place of face to face conversation. Before Adam and Eve’s fall into sin and rebellion God met face to face with humans. He walked in the garden

There is something distinctively different about the tenth commandment which sets it apart from all the rest. And this distinction gives a key to the interpretation of all the rest. Whereas the other

Actually, the stated setting of the ninth commandment is the legal trial. It says, “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor” (Exodus 20:16). Some applications of this law are found

God does not endorse the abolition of private property or ownership. If there were no private ownership, there could be no stealing, but “You shall not steal” (Exodus 20:15) stands as an endorsement

“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you” (Exodus 20:12). This is the commandment for little kids, right? Wrong! It is for grown

All the commandments are repeated in some form by the New Testament as applicable to believers today except for one – the Sabbath. Nowhere in the New Testament is a believer commanded to observe the
