Issues of Truth on Tough Texts published in 2016.

The Wonders of the Bible (Part 2) – Nov./Dec 2015 & Jan./Feb. 2016

In Part 1 of “The Wonders of the Bible,” we looked at the Bible’s unique authorship, complete unity, superior languages, unmatched sales and circulation, and its central theme. While these are magnificent, the six remaining “wonders” possess a certain uniqueness. We hope these will encourage and strengthen your trust in…

The Unequal Yoke – Mar./Apr. 2016

“The Unequal Yoke” of 2 Corinthians 5:14—7:1 is a “tough text” for several reasons. First, there has been some debate about who exactly the “unbelievers” are in the passage. Second, a question has also arisen as to the precise meaning of “unequally yoked.” Third, the application of the text is…

What Are Biblical Missions? – Sept./Oct. 2016

An unknown penman has well said: “The true greatness of any church is not how many it seats but how many it sends!” Indeed, a core characteristic of Christianity is what is commonly called “missions.” Tragically, however, that term has been greatly misunderstood, misapplied, and even misinterpreted. So, what are…

“I Will Build My Parachurch”? – Nov./Dec. 2016

We explored Matthew 16:19 back in TOTT issue 79 (“Upon This Rock,” Sept./Oct. 2012), the main purpose of which was to demonstrate through both Scripture and history that Peter was not “the Rock” on which the Church was built, as is claimed by Roman Catholicism. We revisit this verse, however,…
