Biblical Essays

These Biblical Essays are presented in the hope of stimulating thought and encouraging Bible reading and study. Some were written in response to questions received from students, but most were writen attempting to study the Bible with an open mind – trying to find what the Bible actually teaches instead of seeking to make the Bible prove something; trying to stay focused on one face: the Gospel is God’s power to save. The people of Berea, “received the word with all readiness of mind and searched the scriptures daily” (Acts 17:11). If these early disciples were encouraged to check the teachings of the apostles, should not Bible students today be zealous studying the Bible, avoiding false teaching?
