Apologetics

Leadership

Marriage & Divorce

Prayer & Spiritual Life

  • “But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth and the waters receded.” Genesis 8:1
  • How can you know God's will? How is it possible for a man to know the mind of God? If God has a plan for your life, how does He reveal it to you? How can you find that plan? How does a sinful, finite human being come to know what a holy and infinite God desires?
  • We are not loved because we are lovable, for we are not.

Salvation

  • If ever there was a man with a one-track mind, it was the apostle Paul.
  • May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Galatians 6:14)

  • The first greeting with which Paul begins each of his epistles is grace, and he uses it with its full Christian meaning.
  • The book of Jonah may be studied for many reasons, but a chief reason is for what it teaches about God's sovereignty.

Sin

  • Some time ago, in a question-and-answer period, someone asked, "Dr. Boice, is it possible for a Christian to commit murder?"

Study The Bible

Featured Offer from The Bible Study Hour

from Dr. James Boice

Creation or Evolution?
Creation or Evolution?

What should a Christian think about evolution—or say, or do? Dr. Boice has given us a thorough study of the question in this DVD series. After viewing and discussing this series you’ll be much better equipped. You’ll understand more clearly five major views on the question: secular (atheistic) evolution, theistic evolution, the gap theory, six day creationism, and progressive creationism.

You’ll discover that you accepted one of these views all along. You may change your mind somewhat—or just know better why you believe what you do. In any case, you’ll be able to talk with anyone about the subject calmly, biblically, and with a view to sharing your faith in Jesus, the one through whom and for whom all things were made.
