Biblical Silence
The Scriptures do not address everything that exists, yet the Scriptures are not silent about how
we are to interpret the "silence of the Scriptures." This study analyzes some faulty hermeneutics
and examines what the Scriptures say when the Scriptures are silent. PDF
The Lament of a non-Christian
"I do not do the good that I want to do, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do." When Paul
wrote this (Rom 7:19), was he talking about the Christian life? Or was he talking about something else?
This study focuses on Rom 7:4-25 in order to show that Paul is not talking about the Christian life in
this context. Instead, Paul is talking about the struggle of a non-Christian trying to be righteous without
God. Paul is lamenting what it is like not having God's Spirit. PDF
Political Slander
Slander is one of those sins that is largely ignored. This study examines the seriousness of this sin
with a strong focus on the slander against those in government--one of the more popular objects
of slander today. ...PDF
