Truth Versus Tradition: Who Was Crucified with Jesus?

Ken Brown | April 2, 2010

The Gospels of Matthew and Mark record that there were two robbers crucified with Jesus. Luke records that there were two malefactors (evildoers) crucified with Jesus. It is the commonly held belief that the robbers of Mathew and Mark were the same individuals as the malefactors of Luke, but there are significant differences between them.

Luke 15 and the Prodigal Son

Ken Brown | October 24, 2009

The parables of the Gospels are interesting from a number of perspectives. Many people have lauded the brilliance of the parables in so clearly and convincingly communicating Jesus’ message in a way easily related to by the masses. I have no doubt that Jesus used parables at times to communicate clearly, though the only recorded time he was ever asked about his purpose for using parables, his response was quite different.

Give Unto Caesar

Ken Brown | April 27, 2009

Having recently come through tax time, I thought a few Biblical considerations about taxes and such might be appropriate.

Jesus’ words, “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s”, have been quoted many times to document the Master’s instructions as pertaining to a believer’s financial responsibility to his government as well as to God. The illuminating context of this statement, however, is usually ignored.
