Authority Made Simple There are (only) three possible answers to the question of whether an action is pleasing to God: 1. Scripture says you can. 2. Scripture says you can’t 3.

Years ago, it was common to hear arguments concerning the difference between aids and additions in worshiping God. This involved hermeneutics.

Let’s Pretend We Are Noah Here’s an old story with old lessons that needs to be learned anew again. For the sake of effect, let’s pretend we are Noah.

Anyone who claims not to believe in “necessary inference” is not married, or doesn’t know how women communicate. They will claim if God wanted us to do something, He would just say it plainly.

Red Light, Green Light, Yellow Light. Sounds like a Dr. Seus book. Instead it is an oversimplification that will hopefully make a memorable and valid point.Red Light – These are the “thou shalt not” commands. The Bible is filled with them, including in the new covenant of Christ: “put away lying” (Ephesians 4:25).Green Light – […]
