“It is impossible to rightly govern without God and the Bible, once affirmed our first President George Washington. In his farewell address, September 19, 1796, Washington said, “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of right and order which Heaven itself has ordained. … Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.” Continue reading

Do We Need To Amend The Bible?
With the activities of the holiday season, I’m a little behind on the news. Did you hear this?
I just read about an interview that CNN host Piers Morgan conducted with author and preacher Rick Warren on Christmas Eve. While discussing the issue of same-sex marriage, Morgan argued that there needs to be an “amendment to the Bible.” “Both the Bible and the Constitution were well-intentioned, Morgan told Warren, “but they are basically inherently flawed. Hence the need to amend it.” Continue reading

Do You Really Understand the Theme of the Bible?
“Why did Jesus die?’ “What does that have to do with sin? “Why is the Bible such a bloody book?” These are some of the questions asked and answered today by Ken Craig on the Florida College lecture program. He also addressed the issue of the relevance of the Old Testament for a 21st century generation that must find relevancy in everything.

His lecture, “The Sacrificial System: The Offering of the Body of Jesus Christ Once and for All,” was a demonstration of his “Big Picture” view of the Bible. It is an excellent approach.
