Our churches face all kinds of circumstances. Let's look at four churches, each with a unique challenge. Let's look at a church dilemma of the letter versus the spirit of the law. That church was in Galatia. Let's look at a church learning that our foundation is the apostles and prophets, with Jesus the cornerstone. That foundation defines what are the essentials of our faith. Anything else is a non-essential doctrine. That church was in Ephesus. Let's look at a church learning to be steadfast and joyful in Christ Jesus. That church was in Philippi. Let's look at a reminder of what is the perfect bond of unity, lives touched by Christ's liberating love. That message was to the saints in Colossae. Let's begin.

Are there churches today that are divided and promote immorality? Of course there are. This is not a new problem. We can learn much by looking at the church in ancient Corinth. Let's look at this center of commerce in ancient Greece, see how Christians there were facing similar problems to ours, and God's advice given by inspiration through the Apostle Paul.

Let's continue our attempt to let the Bible answer for itself some of life's most important questions. Please be a Berean. Check things out for yourself both in the Bible, and commentaries on the Bible, and feel free to disagree agreeably.

This volume focuses on the topics of some more about the Bible, salvation, the Church, the Church's Mission and the Bible books: Deuteronomy, Samuel and Romans.

This is an attempt to let the Bible answer for itself some of life's most important questions. Does God exist? Can we trust the Bible? Is it even relevant? This is organized to consider both whole books of scripture and important topics interspersed throughout.
