This monthly publication is
intended to address Scriptures that have historically
been debated, are particularly difficult to understand,
or have generated questions among believers. We hope it
will be an encouragement and challenge to Gods people
to carefully examine and discern Truth. We also offer
other items that emphasize the authority and sufficiency
of Scripture alone. While the positions presented here
are based on years of careful Biblical research, we
recognize that other respected men of God
differ.
If you have a question
that perplexes you, please send it along so that we
might address it either in an
article or in our Q & A section. Other comments
are also warmly welcomed. Letters to the editor will
also be published
.
This publication is sent
FREE of charge to
anyone who requests it. You can receive it either in
hardcopy or, to save money and time, you can receive it by e-mail attachment in
PDF format. To aid in the ministry, tax-deductible
donations will be greatly appreciated, but never
demanded.
