Who Chose the Books of the Bible?

You’re in a conversation and someone asks, “Who chose which books should be in the Bible? And what about the books that were left out?" What would you say? The Bible is a collection of many different writings that were written at different points in history. So how did we get this particular set of books? The next time someone asks how the books of the Bible were chosen, here are 3 things to remember: First, early faith communities accepted the texts that became the Bible because they understood that God was their ultimate author. Second, the decision to recognize a text as scripture was based upon multiple factors. Third, books that didn’t measure up were rejected because they didn’t meet the criteria.

When can Christians divorce & remarry? - Wayne Grudem

The topic of divorce is a complicated one, even among Christians. The Bible provides some clear answers, but other areas remain blurry: Is divorce morally acceptable in a case of physical abuse? If a divorce is granted for biblically legitimate reasons, is remarriage allowed? Can a divorced person become a church officer? In this short booklet, theologian Wayne Grudem offers a thought-provoking analysis of what the Bible says—and doesn’t say—about divorce and remarriage. By combining theological insight with practical application, Grudem brings clarity to a difficult topic and helpful guidance to those looking for direction.

Did you know that Israel’s tabernacle tent was designed as a symbolic garden of Eden? And did you know that Adam and Eve were proto-priests who lived and worked in the sacred space? In this video, we explore God’s plan for humanity to serve as royal priests over all creation and how the story of Jesus brings this priestly drama to its ultimate resolution.

For 28 years, he led a diverse congregation of young professionals that grew to a weekly attendance of over 5,000.
