Just God and Me?
Some thought-provoking thoughts on God’s plan for his body.  Was God’s plan an individualistic relationship with Him or something else?

The New Jerusalem
What is the New Jerusalem as described in the Bible?  Is it something we are still waiting for or is it a present reality to be enjoyed by all believers

By Timothy King

Colossians: The Hope Laid Up for You in Heaven
Many Christians today are taught that the “hope laid up in heaven” is still in your future, still awaiting fulfillment.  Tim examines Colossians 1:3-5 and the idea that it was something the early Christians received and we enjoy today.

Colossians: What Is the Will of God?
Many Christians today think God hides his will to the earnest Christian. Tim looks at Colossians 1:9 to examine this often misunderstood concept, showing that God’s true will has been revealed quite clearly.

Colossians: What Is the Domain of Darkness? 
Is the Domain of Darkness of which Paul speaks in Colossians 1:13 some demonic spiritual realm or is it something more personal, something from which we can know we’ve really been delivered by Christ?

God’s Love as Our Supreme Standard
What’s the difference between someone who says they love their Christian brothers and one who really does?  We must look to God’s love for us to define how we are to love one another.

Hinn-diana Jones and the Temple to Come  Benny Hinn and a host of evangelicals are in support of a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem.  Can this be good for the cause of the gospel?

I Condemnations 13  This rare manuscript was unearthed in the excavation of a fundamentalist church in the south. It gives a glimpse into the mind of the modern legalist, does it not?

No Spiritual Couch Potatoes!  (Romans 12:11a) Paul exhorts his readers to not be lazy when it comes to diligence.  But in what are we to be diligent?

On Glory and Unity
These are some thoughts on the connection between glory and unity, themes found in Jesus’ priestly prayer of John 17.  The notes are from our weekly Restoration Ministry gatherings.

Paul, Barnabas and the Unity of Believers
The “split” between Paul and Barnabas in Acts 15:36-41 has always been portrayed as hostile.  But if we examine the text more closely, does the conflict have to be one of strife?

Questions About Israel  Tim makes his contribution to the Preterist Symposium on the question of modern Israel and it’s significance in biblical history and modern politics.

Red-Hot in the Holy Spirit!  (Romans 12:11b)  What is Paul talking about when he exhorts us to be “fervent in the Spirit?”

Responding to Larry Hall’s “The Preterist Heresy” —

• Eschatology and Salvation  I address Larry’s charges that preterists (I assume that includes me) are not truly Christian.
• “Those Hated Creeds!”  Here, I address Larry’s rather distorted characterization of preterist’s attitude toward the creeds.
• The Date of Revelation I deal with Larry’s arguments that Revelation was written well after the destruction of the temple in A.D. 70.
• Acts 1:11 — A Physical Coming? Here I answer Larry Hall’s claim that this text asserts that Jesus’ second coming will be bodily and physical.
• The Resurrection Body of Jesus  Larry accuses preterists of violating orthodoxy because of their stance on the resurrection.

A Theology of Theology  I examine 1 Corinthians 8 trying to ask the question of why argument and debating over theology too often trump love for one another.

By Roger Lange

Heresy  It is not uncommon for some in Christian circles, when they disagree with another believer, to point the finger at the offending doctrines and cry “heresy!”  But according to Scriptures, what does “heresy” really mean?

By Hal West

A Case for Christian Love  With Christians jumping into the political realm defending their “rights,” Hal ponders whether or not we’ve lost sight of one of the fundamentals of our faith: simple love for others.

Will the Real Ishmael Please Stand Up?   Much of the modern church believe that the modern Arabs are the descendants of Ismael.  But what is the apostolic teaching on this subject?
