Lesson 30 – Archaeology and the Early Monarchy

Recently the Internet headlines call out: “Could lead codices prove ‘the major discovery of Christian history?” “Could this be the biggest find since the Dead Sea Scrolls?

Lesson 41- Proverbs – Lessons for Life

Setting aside the Bible for a moment, if there is a Supreme Being, and if he is able to communicate, and if he created humanity, it would seem logical that the Supreme Being would reach out and communicate with humanity. Francis A. Schaeffer expressed the principle that a personal communicating God would certainly want to […]

Earthquake, tsunami, tornado, hurricane, flooding, drought: What do you think of when you see one of these natural events occurring in our world?

Lesson 31- The Divided Kingdom – The Power of Counsel

We all make choices day in and day out. Many times these choices are not made in a vacuum. Frequently advice and counsel are offered, sometimes unsolicited! It would be nice to have a silver-bullet answer that is a definite winner every time a decision is needed. But life is not like that. God has […]

Lesson 42 – Ecclesiastes – All is Vanity?

How does one chart what is good and worthwhile if there is no God to orient our compass and give meaning to our pursuits? Without an adequate measuring rod to define “good,” who is to say? For that matter, if there is no God, then what “virtue” is there in doing well to others when […]

Lesson 51 – Judah’s Fall – Part 1
