		<description><![CDATA[by Matthew K. Clifton In the late 1700’s, a fellow named William Paley gave an illustration about how we look at the world around us.

		<description><![CDATA[by Matthew K. Clifton Often Christians are painted as people who believe in things for which they have no evidence. It is sometimes suggested by atheists that believers “just go on blind faith.” But is this the kind of faith the Bible encourages in the people of God? Interestingly enough, the Bible does not teach [...]]]></description>

But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The objection is often raised that the baptism mentioned in Acts 2:38; Gal. 3:27; Romans 6:3,4; Mark 16:16 and Matt. 28:19, among others, is not referring to water baptism, but to &#8220;Spirit baptism.&#8221; I will endeavor to briefly show why these passages are to be understood as referring to water baptism of the believer.

Instead of focusing on sin, he said, “Jesus was all about love.” It is true enough that Jesus was all about love. It is [...]]]></description>

A few readers responded to my article with the idea that those who opposed the Quail Springs decision are being &#8220;comdemning&#8221; and &#8220;judgmental.&#8221; As a response, I asked [...]]]></description>
