Question:
With all of the different branches of Christianity and all of the different interpretations of the Bible, where do all of these branches get their different viewpoints?

Greetings Elizabeth,
Excellent question. It gets to the very heart of what is and what is not Truth when it comes to the things of God.
Last I heard, there were over 4,000 different denominations that consider themselves to be Christian. They are obviously not all [...]

Truth Versus Tradition: Were Joseph and Mary Poor?

Ken Brown | December 4, 2009

Tradition can be a subtle thing. We grow up believing something about a Biblical doctrine or event. It might never even occur to us to question where some particular belief came from, especially if that belief happens to be regarding some relatively minor point. I think the financial status of Joseph and Mary is a matter like that for many Christians.

It is a commonly held belief that the mother and “stepfather” of our Lord Jesus Christ were poor, but where does this belief come from?

Creation, Science, and Genesis 1

Ken Brown | November 27, 2009

I was at a wedding reception not long ago, seated next to a man I had not previously met. We exchanged the usual small talk. I learned that he was a retired eighth-grade science teacher. The conversation was pleasant enough until he learned that I am a Bible-believing Christian. Then he launched into an all-out assault. “How can you possibly believe Genesis?” He went on and on about evolution, endeavoring to make a mockery of God’s Word. It takes hundreds of thousands of years for the light from such and such a star to reach the earth. How could God have created the universe only about six thousand years ago? He referred to the Bible as a practical joke.

Trust in the Lord

Ken Brown | November 21, 2009

We as believers are always to trust absolutely in our wonderful heavenly Father. Any “Bible-believing” Christian (and should there be any other kind?) would acknowledge this in a heartbeat. In practice, however, who or what we REALLY trust in can be so subtle that even the most sincere among us might at times be outside of where we want to be.

Video of a group called Go Fish singing “It’s Called Christmas with a Capital C.” I enjoyed it and thought you might too.

Romans 13 and Civil Disobedience

Ken Brown | November 14, 2009

The thirteenth chapter of Romans has been erroneously used to proclaim that all disobedience of one’s government is categorically immoral, contrary to God’s Word, the Bible. Many Bible versions even translate the early verses of this chapter in a manner that clearly conveys this message.

Truth Versus Tradition

Ken Brown | October 31, 2009

God’s Word is truth. In life, one must eventually choose what he holds to be the standard for what is and what is not truth when it comes to the things of God. I choose God’s Word, the Bible (as originally written). Everyone eventually makes a choice. Choose wisely.
