September-October/2011 - The Most Terrifying
Words in the Bible - Matthew
7:21-23 PDF
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
God’s 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 in a future
issue. Other comments are also warmly
welcomed.
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.
