When God told Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice, Abraham faced a dilemma. On the one hand, he loved his son. On the other, God told him to do it. So he worked out away in his mind to fit these seemingly incongruent elements together. He concluded that after he offered his son, God would raise him back to life again. That's what we read …

Those who don’t respect the dead are unlikely to respect the living. On Memorial Day, we owe gratitude to those who came before us—family members who worked hard for our future, and soldiers who died defending our freedoms. Like Abraham who honored his family with a proper burial, we too should show respect. As one veteran said, even during holiday…

We do strange things when we’re desperate. Pain can cause us to deny the obvious if we convince ourselves it will give relief. This is why some turn to atheism. The thought of an all-powerful, all-loving God is a heavy weight to bear in a world of suffering and sin. For these atheists, the only way to live with this problem is to deny that such a G…

What’s guiding your faith—tradition, opinion, or truth? Many today are led by family, friends, or popular trends, but God calls us to follow His Word alone. Man-made teachings fall short, while the Bible reveals God’s will and the path to eternal life. From the archives: A powerful word from Brother Malcolm Hill, the founding president of Tennessee…

Much of the trouble we have in living the Christian life comes from not looking at ourselves. We examine and cross examine others and even God Himself but fail to ask ourselves the same questions. This is true of the problem of evil. We want to know why when that same question is staring at us in the mirror. In this episode we find God turning the …

“The world’s not the same without Mother.” God designed women to nurture and guide the home, and many owe their faith to a godly mom. Even Jesus was raised by Mary, chosen for her purity and devotion. The world deeply needs faithful Christian mothers—and that, too, is the Gospel. Read about this subject Scriptures: Genesis 2, Matthew 19:5, Luke 3 “…

We need to tread carefully when we ask questions like this. After all, we are talking about God’s intentions, and we must not be guilty of putting words in God’s mouth. Thankfully, there is a passage in the Bible that talks about why God made the world and placed us in it. There is a reason why we are here. Many live their lives not knowing what th…

Are you hitting the mark in your walk with Christ? The Bible shows that sin is missing the mark—choosing the wide, easy road instead of the narrow path Jesus calls us to follow. We can’t guide ourselves; we need God’s direction. His Word is clear, true, and leads to real peace and faithful living. If you want to stay on target, Jesus is the only wa…

“Why, Lord?”Series When you're dealing with a difficult problem, it helps to go back to the basics. That's true with the problem of evil which is the most perplexing question man can ever consider. In this lesson, we will look at two different kinds of evil in the world. One is moral evil which is sin. The other is sometimes called natural evil. Th…

The Bible lists seven things God hates, including pride, lying, murder, wicked schemes, eagerness to do evil, bearing false witness, and causing division among believers (Proverbs 6:16-19). These sins are serious in God’s eyes, even if the world overlooks some of them. Christians are called to avoid these behaviors, love God wholeheartedly, and liv…

The Mother of All Questions: Why? You're not the only one who has asked this question. In fact, many great prophets and holy men in the Bible struggled with it. That's one of the benefits of reading the Bible. We are not alone facing hardships and not being able to understand why they happen. As we begin this study of the problem of evil, we will n…

It’s always good to hear people talk about Jesus — especially His resurrection. But Easter isn’t a Biblical celebration. In Acts 12:4, the word “Easter” was a mistranslation — it should read “Passover.” The Gospel is simple: Christ died, was buried, and rose again the third day (I Cor. 15:3-4). God didn’t authorize Easter — He gave us a weekly memo…

G. Campbell Morgan said no man is an accurate interpreter of his own generation. We are too busy trying to get through the challenges of the day to be able to see the overall picture, to connect the dots and to determine what caused the situation and where it will end. We have to wait until the smoke clears, and that takes time. Still there are ind…

Prayer is not just words spoken into the air — it’s the faithful reaching out to the Creator who holds all power. God hears. God responds. And when His people pray with trusting hearts, incredible things can happen. Healing, restoration, forgiveness — all flow from His hand. Whether it’s a hurting soul, a broken body, or even a troubled world, God …

Did you know that God wants all Christians to be united? Jesus Himself prayed for that unity in John 17:20-21. The Bible speaks clearly against division among believers (1 Corinthians 1:10-12) and urges us to strive for unity in Christ (Ephesians 4:3-6). That kind of oneness isn’t just a dream—it’s possible when we follow the Bible alone (Galatians…

Sometimes people ask what will happen to those who have never heard the gospel. Sometimes they need to think about the reverse. What will happen to those who have heard but don’t obey? That’s what Jesus talks about at the end of the famous Sermon on the Mount. He began early in this sermon saying that the Jews had heard much teaching from the scrib…

“Talk is cheap.” There's a lot of empty chatter today. We hear it in politics. We hear it in business. Most tragically, we hear it in religion. In an age of bells and whistles, we long to see Christians who back up what they say with how they live—not for show, but out of love and faith. Jesus said it will take more than talk to enter heaven. As He…

Spring term is here at Tennessee Bible College, and there’s never been a better time to grow in God’s Word! With flexible class options and the upcoming Truth Bible Camp, there’s something for everyone. Christian workers and gospel preachers are needed—why not take that next step? Like Ezra, prepare your heart to seek and follow God’s law (Ezra 7:1…

What do you think of when you hear the words “false teacher”? Jim Jones? Joseph Smith? Muhammad? Jesus said false prophets are not as obvious as people might assume. They appear to be just the opposite of what they are. But if they are that deceptive, how can we know what they really are? In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus explains this. There is a w…

The wise men showed true wisdom—they followed God’s direction, journeyed far, and worshiped Jesus with their best gifts. They didn’t let Herod’s threats sway them; they listened to God. Real wisdom is the same today—seeking Jesus, following His guidance, and offering Him our best. That’s the gospel. Read about this subject Scriptures: Matthew 2, He…

We often talk about the path life takes us on. It’s true that there are unexpected things on life’s journey, but the truth is that, in regard to eternity, we choose the path we’re on. Jesus talks about these two roads in the Sermon on the Mount and utters some startling words to modern ears about how many choose the wrong road. These are roads that…

Spring is a time of renewal and life, with birds singing, flowers blooming, and nature bustling with energy. God has promised that the seasons will continue as long as the earth remains (Gen. 8:22). Despite claims that seasons may disappear, believers can trust that God is in control. His promises are sure, so enjoy the beauty of spring with confid…

Those who serve in the military talk about having a code. Businesses have standards they expect employees to follow. Communities have rules and customs they want everyone to respect. Anywhere you go, you will find basic beliefs about how you should treat others. Jesus said one rule of life summarizes the Old Testament. We call it the Golden Rule. I…

"Why did my Savior come to Earth?” You may recognize this beautiful old hymn. The Bible answers this question clearly—Jesus came to fulfill the Law, establish His church, free believers from sin, reveal God’s love, bring comfort, and save the lost. His coming is the defining moment in history, shaping the course of the world. That’s the Gospel. Rea…

Knowing the truth will set you free. Some say it's unknowable, but it is. To be saved, you must love the truth. Do you love all the truth? Malcolm Hill, the late founder of Tennessee Bible College, was the original voice of One Gospel Minute on radio, sharing powerful, Bible-centered messages. In this Throwback Thursday episode, we honor his legacy…

God blesses, but we must seek those blessings. God will do His part if we do ours. The Creator put mankind here “so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us” (Acts 17:27). When we find Him by becoming Christians, we still seek His blessings. We strive to do bett…

There are some people you can't teach. Even Jesus was not successful every time He taught people. This is a hard lesson to learn when you love others and try to help them to be saved. After all, Jesus said to go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation in Mark 16:15–16. But it is a fact that some people are so hardened against…

Tennessee Bible College is celebrating 50 years of Christian higher education with its annual RENEW program on February 22-23, 2025. This year’s theme, Earthen Vessels (II Corinthians 4), reminds us that God has entrusted us with His Word to carry and share with the world. The weekend will be filled with gospel preaching, fellowship, singing, and g…

How do you feel when someone criticizes you? We don’t like it, especially if the criticism is unfair and harsh. That is understandable. But not all criticism is bad. Sometimes it is for our good. Today there is an idea among Bible readers that is not scriptural. It is the belief that any and all types of judging are wrong. One of the reasons this h…

Christians bear the Gospel in earthly bodies, just as Jesus did when He came in human form to declare God's glory (II Corinthians 4:7). Paul encouraged the Corinthians to live for Christ, reminding them that God's plan is entrusted to those who follow Him. As His followers, we are His hands, feet, and voice, spreading His message. The true value li…

One of the most common problems anywhere in the world is worry. Some have a harder time dealing with it than others. But at different stages of life, and in certain circumstances, we all wrestle with this challenge. Anxiety is not a problem that is unique to our modern age. Some stress may be due to advances we have made in communication and travel…

Belief and baptism are necessary for the remission of sins, as outlined in Mark 16:16 and Acts 2:38. Genuine faith involves obedience and complete adherence to the New Testament, staying true to God's Word without alteration. Embracing the Gospel means following the Bible alone. Read about this subject Scriptures: Mark 16:16; Acts 8:36; Acts 2:38; …

The number one issue on the minds of Americans for years has been the economy. In other words, money. Part of this concern is understandable because we need money to buy food and clothes and medical care and shelter. But it is easy to take this concern too far and become obsessed with money and things. This is an age-old problem. The love of money …

The Bible says the love of money, not money itself, causes all kinds of evil. It brings greed, sorrow, and blocks obedience to the Gospel. True joy comes from pursuing righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Love God completely for peace and fulfillment. Read about this subject Scriptures: I Timothy 6:10; Acts 8:20; Matthew…

People all over the world pray. They pray to different gods about different things. Some pray without really knowing whom they’re praying to. They most often pray when they’re hurting or afraid. Regardless of differences in prayer, it is a universally understood practice. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus taught a lesson about prayer. It’s a general…

R.L. Whiteside, in his 1945 commentary on Romans 13, discusses corrupt governments. He argues that bad governments do not invalidate Paul's teachings. Just as the devil can influence churches without owning them, he can influence governments. Civil government aims to ensure security and wellbeing. Without it, life and property would be insecure. Ob…

God sees our heart. He knows why we do bad things and even why we do good things. That is why Jesus talks so much about our motive for doing right. Christianity is not just doing the right things. It is doing the right things for the right reason. But why would anyone go to the trouble of doing something good for a wrong reason? Often it is to draw…

As Christians, sharing the message of Jesus Christ is essential. The Gospel is God's power for salvation, and the world must hear it to be saved. Spreading this message is a vital part of our faith. What are you doing about it? Join us as we revisit the original One Gospel Minute with TBC founder Malcolm Hill. In honor of TBC’s 50 years of Christia…

We understand that we should love our family and friends, but love our enemies? How is that possible? Books have been written about hard sayings of Jesus. If there is one command that has puzzled Bible readers for centuries, this is it. How are we to understand these words? As always, the key is to let the Bible interpret itself. This lesson will u…

As you step into the new year, take a moment to reflect on your goals. Physical fitness, healthier eating, and quality time with loved ones are admirable pursuits—but have you considered your spiritual priorities? Strengthening your relationship with God should be at the top of your list. Dive into His Word, letting the Gospel shape and guide your …

The world can be a dangerous place. Christians and non-Christians both agree on this point. But they disagree about how to respond to the problem of violence. Even Christians disagree on this point some believe in self-defense and others do not. The Sermon on the Mount has been somewhat of a battleground on this issue for centuries. Did Jesus teach…

As the great old hymn says, "I am resolved no longer to linger, charmed by the world's delights." This commitment requires a lifetime of dedication and the guidance of a loving God. Jesus emphasized the eternal reward of such faithfulness: heaven, a prepared place for prepared people (Revelation 22:14). Whether starting your journey by obeying the …

How many people do you know that do what they say they will do? Times haven’t changed. An honest, dependable person was hard to find in Bible times. The even sadder fact was that the very people who were supposed to be teaching people the Bible made the situation worse by their traditions. Jesus confronted this problem in the Sermon on the Mount. T…

Music speaks volumes about who we are. Ralph Vaughan Williams once said that music expresses the soul of a nation, highlighting its deep connection to art, life, and the human spirit. In worship, God calls for vocal music, with the heart as the only instrument (Eph. 5:19). Singing in worship is a profound act of communion with God and a way to teac…

How many people in America would you say were divorced in the year 1900? One in one thousand. Eighty years later that number had jumped to over 22 women out of every one thousand. This is just one indication that the more people drift from God and the Bible the worse their morals become. But that is just America in recent years. When we go back to …

In this season, Jesus is often discussed, and I love it. God sent Jesus as a peace offering. He lived sinlessly but was crucified. While His birth is celebrated, the Gospel celebrates His resurrection, giving us hope for eternal life. Heaven and angels praise His sacrifice. I serve a risen Savior. Do you? Read about this subject Scriptures: Colossi…
