I would guess that many Bible students would think of Peter as a great example of faithfulness and service. However, it is good to be reminded that such a great man was just that, a man. That means at times, Peter sinned. That also means that he needed forgiveness. When we accept that he could

Marriage

In the recent past of mankind, there have been some who have worked to change the way man thinks about marriage.

What Are We Seeking?

Faith That Would Not Burn (Part Two)

At the appointed time, the Chaldeans followed the order of Nebuchadnezzar (Dan. 3:7). However, what about the Jewish young men?

There are many different occasions in which the Bible records details of our Savior. Each of those references is worthy of our attention and study. After all, Christians should be striving to be more like Jesus on a regular basis. The writer of Hebrews stated, “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower
