False Faith Teachers Failing to Read the Bible for All Its Worth

One of the things we say at the Christian Research Institute without equivocation is that the Bible is divine as opposed to being merely human in origin; that God has spoken, that these are His Words, and that the Bible is the infallible repository of redemptive revelation. If God has spoken, what has God said? [...]

The Myth of the “Dark Ages of Christianity” is No Laughing Matter

Most of you listening to my voice right now can remember exactly where you were when you first heard the tale of Christopher Columbus and his raw courage in the face of mutinous sailors who were in mortal terror of sailing over the edge of a flat earth. Who among us is not familiar with [...]

Is God a Racist? Using Context to Untangling Ezra’s Prohibition of Intermarriage

If you are following the Legacy Reading Plan, do remember that we are now in the book of Ezra. It is critically important that as you read through the book of Ezra that you are imbued with the ability to read the Bible for all its worth. In Ezra, of course, we see God fulfilling [...]

The Legacy Altar

This month in the Legacy Reading Plan we’re in the book of Joshua, which is such an exhilarating book. We so often talk about the time the Israelites left Egyptian captivity, and crossed over the Red Sea with God parting the waters to make way for them upon dry ground (Exodus); yet, so often we [...]

John Griffith, the Bridge Operator

Welcome to a special Good Friday edition of the Bible Answer Man Broadcast. As we remember the atonement of Jesus Christ for the complete remission of our sins, I want to begin today’s broadcast with a story that I included in part four of Christianity in Crisis – 21st Century. It’s a story that takes [...]

Loving God’s Word

I can tell you, I am falling in love with the Bible all over again this year as I’m reading through the Word of God. The one thing that I love in particular is the instruction that I get from the Word of God.   “To know wisdom and instruction,” writes Solomon, “To discern the [...]

Why Did the First Christians Survive Pagan Persecution?

I am so delighted to be in the studio today to talk about the cornerstone of the historic Christian faith. Just today I was studying Plinius the Younger, also known as Pliny the Younger. He was a contemporary and employer of Seutonius, the author of The Lives of the Twelve Caesars, and also a friend [...]

Trusting A Sovereign God in Our Deepest Darkest Travels

I hope all of you are following the Legacy Reading Plan. If you are we’re right now in Hebrew poetry, reading Job, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon.   Of course, today is day 15, which means you’re in Proverbs chapter 15. A proverb a day keeps the Devil away (i.e. a chapter from the proverbs). [...]

Make Bible Reading a Priority!

All this year we are urging and exhorting you to get into the Word of God and get the Word of God into you!   If you’re following the Legacy Bible Reading Plan, you are getting very close to the book of Ecclesiastes, since this month we are reading Job, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of [...]

The Significance of the Resurrection

I want to say just a word about the celebration of Easter. If you’re like me, you probably spent a good deal more time preparing for Christmas than preparing for the celebration of Easter. But think about this for a moment? Apart from the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there is little point in even discussing [...]
