We’re in the middle of Lent, preparing our hearts and our lives to appreciate and receive what our Lord Jesus did for us, gave for the whole world, on the Cross of Good Friday and the Resurrection of Easter. And a key factor in this preparation has always been, since the beginning of the celebration of Lent in the history of the church, the practice of fasting. In fact, prayer and fasting has always been a central part of the Judeo-Christian religion. But today, many if not most Christians do no...

Communion, Lord’s Supper, Eucharist are titles given to a sacrament, ordinance, or rite celebrated by Christians around the world. The origin of this act of worship comes from the institution of Jesus Christ, but the meaning and practice have a long and broad history, leading to, as we all know, a wide breadth of opinions and consequent division. The best place to begin to understand this great sacrament is with the witness of the earliest Christians, which is what we will do today on Deep In Sc...

From the very beginning of time, throughout the biblical record, and on into the writing of the Early Church Fathers we encounter the idea of two ways that we can chose to live our lives. Throughout Church history this has always been the foundation of our faith. From the beginning of time, however, there has always been a counter voice, either denying or downplaying the distinction of these two ways, and in today’s world this distinction has become so blurred that to even mention it is to reap ...

There are at least four different kinds of verses in the Bible. Certainly there are many different kinds and genre of books in the Bible, written by many authors, over hundreds of years, and all inspired by the Holy Spirit, but throughout this Canon of Scripture there are at least four different kinds of verses: those that are clear, those that are cloudy, and those that are stormy. But maybe the most important are those verses that we have never seen. This is what we will discuss today on Deep ...

Saint Paul wrote in his first letter to Timothy that God our savior “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth”. That the man Christ Jesus “gave himself as a ransom for all men”. What does this mean for all those people who have never heard the Gospel message? Or what about those who have heard – our friends and family – but who have rejected the gospel, rejected God? But there is another topic in this passage as well: How did Saint Paul understand the relationship be...

In 1 Timothy 2:3-6, St. Paul wrote that there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. But how do we understand the relationship between this “one God” and this “one man Christ Jesus”? Must of us automatically hear this relationship through the doctrine of the Trinity, one God in three persons, but this doctrine itself is not found in Scripture, and not all Christians today, basing their faith on Scripture alone, believe in the doctrine of the Trinity. So how shoul...

The Apostle Paul once wrote to his fellow bishop and son in the faith Timothy, that “all scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching for reproof for correction and for training in righteousness that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” This verse from 2 Timothy is the primary verse used to defend the doctrine of Sola Scriptura. This is precisely what my guest and I did for many years. But does this verse teach Sola Scriptura? What does it say about the Bibl...
