• NAMASTE! What Does This Hindu Greeting Mean? (328)
    Jun 30 2026

    Hindus and New Agers often greet each other with a respectful gesture of folded hands and a slight bow as they utter the word “Namaste” (pronounced Nah-ma-stay’). Many yoga classes open with participants making this affirming statement toward their teacher and each other. Is this just an ordinary greeting like “Hello” or is there a deeper, spiritual connotation? Is it acceptable for a Christian?

  • Catholicism and the Second Commandment (325)
    Jun 9 2026

    In the abbreviated Protestant form of “The Ten Commandments,” the second reads, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image.” However, that statement is omitted in the abbreviated list that Catholics use. Was this an intentional omission so that the Catholic use of statues would not be questioned? Or is there a different explanation?

  • Is the Practice of “Mindfulness” Beneficial or Detrimental? (324)
    Jun 3 2026

    What is “mindfulness”? Is it an acceptable practice? Is it helpful? This spiritual discipline is pervading our culture, though usually, in a watered-down form. The descriptive terms may seem inviting, but this approach to spirituality is primarily based on a Buddhist worldview. Is that compatible with Christianity? Let’s dig deep and get answers.

  • Is It Wrong To Believe In Sola Scriptura (The Bible Alone)? (323)
    May 27 2026

    Catholic apologists often insist, “Jesus Did Not Leave Us a Bible; He Left Us a Church.” Such assertions are intended to cancel sole dependency on the Bible as the standard of acceptable Christian doctrines, practices, and traditions. Such a claim is also intended to increase trust in church traditions and the rulings of church hierarchy, even if they are not found in the Bible. Is this view right? Is it safe? Is it pleasing to God?

    May 19 2026

    Jesus compared events surrounding His Second Coming to the biblical stories of Noah and Lot, paralleling certain important details. Do these well-known Bible characters foreshadow a pre-tribulation or post-tribulation resurrection and “catching up” of believers? Exploring the prophetic.

  • The Rapture Controversy / Matthew 24 Revelations (321)
    May 14 2026

    Last day events dominate Jesus’ Mount of Olives discourse in Matthew 24. However, differences in interpretation are many. Will the church be here in this world during these climactic events? Who are “the elect” mentioned in verses 22, 24, and 31? What is the “abomination of desolation”? In this teaching, we will unveil mysteries.
