The Bible is Consistent – Household Words:

The Bible is the Story of Human History. Hebrews 4:12.

The Bible is not some dusty, ancient book about some forgotten land, none of which is relevant today. The Bible is a cross-section of human history, a cross-section of humanity. When we get to heaven and look back on all of human history, we will see the Bible differently: it is a detailed record ofContinue reading “The Bible is the Story of Human History. Hebrews 4:12.”

Is There Tension Between Law and Grace? Titus 2:14.

God Does Not Change.

Have you heard people say that God is full of wrath in the Old Testament but forgiving in the New? God says He does not change: “I am the Lord and I do not change” Malachi 3:6.
