Some suggest that moving away from a patternistic command-example-and-necessary-inference approach for understanding what God requires leaves no other alternative, or at least none that both respects biblical authority and seeks to obey the gospel of Jesus the Messiah. In Searching for the Pattern, John Mark offers just ...

There are many things you probably think about when you think about Heaven and eternity. Will we be married in Heaven? Will we get to see pets that have passed away?

I sat in church listening to a charismatic preacher proclaiming the Word of God in an enthusiastic fashion. I was fascinated by the amount of Bible quotations he reeled off in his one-hour message! I was surprised by the fact that though I was a new believer - having been in Christ for just two years - I could complete some of the scriptures he quoted.

I could not tell you where those scriptures were in the...

In this first volume (Soteriology 101) we lay the complete foundation in ten chapters by unpacking two simple acronyms—S-A-V-I-O-R and L-O-R-D—spelling out the full identity and work of Jesus ...

In addition to my 49 years of teaching theology at the graduate level at The Cincinnati Bible Seminary (now Cincinnati Christian University), I have spent even more years than that as a preacher and teacher in local churches.
