After the Lord’s church began in the city of Jerusalem, it expanded throughout the Roman Empire until it reached the capital city of Rome. The inspired history recorded by Luke ends here (Acts 28:16, 30-31), but the message of the gospel continued to spread throughout the world. Wherever it was preached, and people were converted, […]

Much has been said about the changing religious landscape in our culture over the last several years. Society as a whole is becoming less religious.

If we were to think of potential threats to our local churches, a number of things could be added to the list. Paul made a list like this near the end of his second letter to the church in Corinth. Notice what the apostle wrote: “For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I […]

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7). God created this world, which operates according to the rules He has established.

Peter issued this challenge to all Christians: “But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence” (1 Peter 3:15). However, many Christians feel unprepared to do this; therefore, many conversations that could potentially lead people to the truth never get started.
This book will help equip all Christians to start engaging in spiritual conversations with those around them by providing simple answers to some basic Bible questions. Being ready to give an answer does not mean having an answer to every possible question at the drop of a hat. Instead, it means being able to give a ready answer to questions that are fundamental to our faith that can open the door to further discussions and studies with those who are interested. By studying the material in this book and becoming familiar with the Scriptures cited in each answer, Christians will be better prepared and have more confidence when they discuss their faith with others.
