  • 51. Torah

    John Garr The nature and extent of Torah’s ongoing relationship with the people of God has been the subject of intense debate in the Christian community since the first century C.E. From the earliest apostolic statements to the most recent ecclesiastical pronouncements, Torah (the law) has been relegated to varying positions in the economy of […]

  • 50. Torah

    Clifford Denton In every area of life we ask the question, “What shall we do in this situation?” There is often a right way and a wrong way, a safe way or an unsafe way. Decisions are part of life and we base our decisions on the philosophy of life we adopt. We can be […]

  • 49. A Biblical Hermeneutic – “Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth”

    Dr. John A. Looper Introduction: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15 KJV);. The apostle Paul (Saul), the ever vigilant Jewish apostle who was sent of the Lord to the gentiles, conveys in his prison letters to his […]

  • 48. Education Begins at Home

    Karl D Coke There is a worldwide exodus of Christians from organised religion. This current trend is not rebellion against. “authority.” God is bringing His people to Biblical awareness. Involved directly in this fresh awareness is the restoration of the family. The restored family is a portion of Acts 3:21, which says, “He must remain […]

  • 47. Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge

    Karl D Coke Proverbs 3:19-20 says, “By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.’, This passage reveals a truth most impressive. That is, by observing God’s wisdom in action, we gain understanding. Then, […]

  • 46. Education

    Clifford Denton The First Century Church in Jerusalem was not complicated by video recorders, telephones, televisions, computers, micro-wave cookers, cars, supermarkets, and Internet. The education of children was in a simpler setting. It was a responsibility for the family. It began at home. Practical trades were valued. Torah was at the heart of all the […]

  • 45. The Subtle Anti-Semitism of the New Age Movement

    Clifford Denton There can be no more contemporary issue than the rise of the New Age Movement. Indeed, the scope of this movement is so wide that it raises up a multitude of contemporary issues. Over the last twenty or thirty years it has emerged out of the hippie movement into a ‘respectable’ alternative religion […]

  • 44. The Solidarity of Man

    Tom Hamilton The idea of a first and therefore last Adam is very ancient in Hebrew thought. They believed in a last Adam which was to come in as much as they believed in the first. Paul, therefore, in writing to the church at Corinth, used these precise terms to show, on the one hand, […]

  • 43. The Melchizedekian Priesthood of Yeshua and the Priesthood of all Believers

    Arnold G Fruchtenbaum There is recognition on the part of believers that the Messiah has three offices: Prophet, Priest and king. While many passages in the New Testament do develop both the prophetic office and the kingship of Yeshua, only one book elaborates in any way on the priesthood of The Messiah, and that is […]

  • 42. From Theatre to the Home

    Karl D Coke Millions of Christians have left the Church since 1960. Why? Today’s Church behaves more like a “Greek theatre” than a living organism. Its members “go to” church when they should “be” the church. These spectators are wearied from fighting, wasting money and trying to fulfil a pastor’s “vision.” Most Christians just want […]
