The existence of false teachers is a sad reality. Just as there were false prophets in the past, Peter said, “There will also be false teachers among you” (2 Peter 2:1). Our responsibility is to mark them, turn away from them (Romans 16:17), have no fellowship with them (2 John 10-11), and refute their error [...]

The Honest and Good Heart
Posted on October 17, 2011 at 10:31 pm by Andy Sochor
In the previous article we looked at the parable of the sower, noting the four different soils which represented four different types of hearts. Each one responded differently to the word when it was sown among them. Despite these differences, we saw that the message (the seed, the word of God) was not changed. Rather [...]
For The Truth

“For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth” (2 Corinthians 13:8).
Here, Paul is not discussing what is possible or not possible. Rather he is speaking of the determination of faithful disciples of Christ. We must choose one of two sides –we can be for the truth or against the truth. [...]

Paul gave the young evangelist Timothy this charge: “preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction” (2 Timothy 4:2). Why was it so important for Timothy to do this? Paul goes on: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; [...]
What is Truth?

“What is truth?” This was the question Pilate asked Jesus after hearing the Lord’s claim that He came to testify to the truth (John 18:36-37). When we think about truth, we must understand two things: it is unchanging and it is the same message for all. The word of God is truth (John 17:17). His [...]
The Catholic Church’s Search for Aliens
Posted on November 16, 2009 at 10:18 pm by Andy Sochor
Last week the Associated Press reported that the Vatican is looking for signs of alien life. They have called in thirty scientists from several countries to study “whether sentient life forms exist on other worlds.” If extraterrestrial life is possible, there is also the question about “its implications for the Catholic Church.”
The subject of aliens [...]
