This page is the gateway to articles of interest for 

the Christian reader

those  new to the faith
readers who enjoy a practical way to understand the Bible
those who may want to delve into the doctrines supported in Scripture

Our starter for "Articles of Interest" is a series on The Ten Commandments from "Studies in the Book of Exodus" by The Rev. David G. Barker. Prelude To The Ten Commandments   is the introduction to the series, with links to each of the Ten Commandments.

What Do You Think Of Jesus?  
Honesty demands a response. Already convinced of the truth of Jesus' claims? Ready to commit yourself to Him, to know Him personally?
Dr James M Boice, The Gospel of John, Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1985, pp 471-76

The Original Geneva Bible 
The Geneva Bible was the Bible of Shakespeare, it was the Bible of the Puritans, it was the Bible carried on their ships by the Jamestown settlers (1607) and the Plymouth Pilgrims (1620).
Dr. Roger Nicole, visiting professor of theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, FL

The History of the Reformation
In our day we have seen a revival of interest in the Bible and a renewed commitment to the authority and trustworthiness of Scripture. The Reformation was sparked by a deep and serious study of the Bible.

Contrasts Between  Milliennial Views

The standard millennial positions taken from R.C. Sproul's book entitled, "The Last Days According to Jesus".

What About Cremation?
When it comes to death, God tells us there is more in view than just "honoring the dead." As in life, so also in death, we are called to honor Him—and that with both our spirits and our bodies.

And Walk Humbly With Thy God (Micah 6:8)
When Luther was asked what was the first step in religion, he replied, "Humility." When asked what was the second, and the third, he answered in the same way.

The Rapture

If the Scripture plainly speaks in a way that denies such a thing as a two-stage coming of Christ and a secretive rapture, where did the idea for such a rapture really come from?
