Divine Logic
It seems like, as God's creations, we should be able to follow his logic. Yet sometimes His decisions seem totally bizzarre. In today's Understanding God's Word, Dr. John Akers examines what's up with that.
Standards For Heaven
How does heaven work? Surely they don't let just anybody in. What are their standards? Are they achievable for the average person? In today's Understanding God's Word, Dr. Akers examines this question.
Accepting Jesus' Gifts
Presumably, Jesus offers us only salvation and peace. Very desirable gifts, one would think. So why are they so hard to accept? In today's Understanding God's Word, Dr. Akers takes a look at this question.
Paul The Missionary
In previous lessons, we have talked about the kind of person that God chooses to carry out His work. In today's Understanding God's Word, Dr. Akers talks about one of those chosen people.
Our Prayers And God's Answers
Our prayers to God are usually pretty straightforward. His answers, not so much. In today's Understanding God's Word, Dr. Akers helps us understand this frustrating aspect of our faith.
The Gospel For The Gentiles
The biggest contribution of apostle Paul to Christianity was his decision to bring the message of Christ to the Gentiles, not just the Jews. In today's Understanding God's Word, Dr. Akers discusses the significance of this move.
The Least Likely Believer
At this point in the books of Acts, we are introduced to Saul (later named Paul), a man who was about to become a power player in early Christianity. In today's Understanding God's Word, Dr. Akers talks to us about one of the biggest personal turnarounds in the Bible.
The Purpose Of Proselytizing
Why do we need to try and bring Christianity to people who are already perfectly happy with their own religions? In today's Understanding God's Word, Dr. John Akers explains why we don't just leave them alone.
Tactics Of The Devil
Satan is inherently opposed to all of God's designs. In today's Understanding God's Word, Dr. Akers describes some of the strategies the devil uses to oppose God and attack us.
What Kind Of Person Does God Need?
Is there an ideal kind of person that God finds most useful? Is that something we can work to become or do you just have to be born that way? In today's Understanding God's Word, Dr. Akers takes a look at that question.
