Just how long were the "days" mentioned in Genesis chapter 1? This extensive study examines common attacks, and shows that fundamentally God was laying the groundwork for the very concept of what we now call "history", by showing us how to measure time by literal days.

This study addresses a variety of questions regarding the church, such as: What is it? When did it start? Who's in it? Where does it meet? What did folks in Bible times do in the church? How is it governed? How long does it last? Should I "join"? What are the benefits?

It seems that people highly value music in worship, insomuch that one church with better music will outweigh one with better doctrine. Does God have anything to say about music in His worship?

At a funeral I attended in 2006, someone asked about soul sleep. Does life after death start with a period of sleep, prior to judgment day? How are we to understand those Bible passages that talk about "sleeping" at death?
