Jesus’ parable of the wedding banquet illustrates some very important principles of God’s kingdom. He told it to Jewish people of the first century, but he also intended it to be for us today, as it speaks of the breadth and depth of God's grace and the extent of Christ's atoning sacrifice.
What is the New Covenant the Bible speaks of? And what is the difference between it and the Old Covenant? There is much confusion in the Christian church regarding this, so the goal of this article is to provide simple understandable descriptions for the non-scholar.
What is the Sinai Covenant in the Bible? Who was involved and what was its purpose? Is it the same as the Old Covenant that the Christian apostles allude to? And what is the difference between it and the New Covenant? In this article I provide a simple explanation for the non-scholar.
The early Christian church fathers all acknowledged that some sins were greater than others. But within the last half century a popular belief has developed among Christians, that God sees all sins the same. But is this biblical? And how did this belief come about?
Life is so full of challenges and difficulties, but also many opportunities. How do we make our way through this world and choose the best path with all of the perils and obstacles in our way? God has given us intelligence to solve problems and find answers to our questions. But we need more than intelligence to succeed, flourish, and to live a safe and fruitful life that pleases God. For those, we need wisdom.

Others put it into the "things I will not understand until heaven" category. But predestination is an important Christian doctrine and a great consolation to believers if understood correctly. So, what is predestination in the Bible?
The word elect generates a lot of discussion and debate in the Christian church. Both Jesus and the apostles use the term in their teachings. So, who are the elect in the New Testament? The term “chosen” is used even more in the Bible. Are the elect and the chosen the same?
Prayer is such an important part of our relationship with God. But is there a right way to pray? Can prayer be misguided? If so, what can we use as a guide? Let's look at how Jesus taught his disciples to pray to our Father.
The gospel is the good news to the condemned and sinful. Those who believe it are acquitted of their guilt before God and set free! But how can God set free those who are clearly guilty of sin? There must be a fair and just basis for the acquittal. We learn the answer from the gospel story itself—that Jesus Christ was our substitute.
