We all have the same mother although we have never met her. She apparently lived for many years on the earth but has been gone a long, long time. She never had a mother but she became the mother of all. Her husband named her Eve (Genesis 3:20) meaning, “the mother of all living.” How amazing God was in creation. Out of the Lord God came the earth, out of the earth came man, out of the man came woman

I had a wonderful opportunity to spend two weeks at the new Word of Life Bible Institute on Jeju Island in South Korea. I was able to teach the book of Jonah at their missions conference and teach the book of Ezra to the student body. Most of the 33 students were Korean or Japanese, as well as some from the USA and Canada. Steve Nichols is the Word of Life director for Asia. He and his team have been

The book of Ezekiel has been a special blessing to me over these last few weeks, and in Dr. Beebe’s absence, I would like to share with you some of those blessings. 1. Ezekiel was a young prophet during the Babylonian siege of Judah and Jerusalem. In the first three chapters of the book, God displays for Ezekiel angels and wheels in order to get his attention and to show him His glory. I was challenged to consider this: does

Only in the Word of God can we hope to know and understand the essence of true love. We often allow the world’s philosophy of love (just an emotion, attraction, or a physical relationship) to cloud our estimation of love’s true quality. Love is a Person – 1 John 4:7-12, 16-19 – God Himself is the essence, the personification of love.

The year of our Lord 2011. We are now entering a new year given by our Lord Jesus Christ and a new year for our Lord Jesus Christ. The designation of the years of human history as B.C. (before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini – in the year of our Lord) did not begin until A.D. 525. Some have wrongly assumed that A.D. refers to “after His death.” This would result in the 33 years of His life being undated

Have you ever wondered what Jesus said when He came into the world for His miraculous conception? As we think of the wonderful incarnation of Christ, we are often reminded about what the angels said, what Mary and Joseph said, what Zacharias and Elizabeth said, what the shepherds and wise men said and what Herod, Anna and Simeon said, but what did Jesus say? In Hebrews 10:5-9, these words are recorded. Jesus was quoting Psalm 40:6-8 as He came to

Our theme for the 2010-2011 school year is “the Christian Soldier, the Armour of God and the Fight for Faith.” Paul speaks to Timothy about a good war (1 Timothy 1:18); a good fight (1 Timothy 6:12, 2 Timothy 4:7) and a good soldier (2 Timothy 2:3-4). Some would wonder what is good about warring, soldiering and fighting? However, when it is a soldier of Christ, warring and fighting against sin, self, Satan, evil spirits and an evil society it
