The Stain of Human Trafficking

Many falsely believe human trafficking is a modern-day problem. However, this issue has been around since Biblical times. The narrative of human trafficking began with the story of Joseph in the Old Testament book of Genesis. The expansion of the world's population allowed the trafficking of people to impact every country on this planet negatively. What do the Scriptures have to say about this very current problem?

Anti-Christian Education and a Reasoned Response

Today's Differing Things will look at a critical conversation taking place throughout the entire western world. Education systems throughout the west are trying to cast significant doubt about the validity of the Bible. Our youth are being brainwashed to believe the Bible is a patriarchal, sexist, and homophobic book that is full of errors, and does not understand science. How do we answer these accusations?

Economics Before and After Adam’s Fall

Wealth is created through the medium of work. The institution of productive labor was established by one of the first commands given by the Creator God immediately after the creative act and before man sinned. Gen.2:15 shows that through man's productive industry, God shared responsibility for the earth with man. Thus, economics was born! How did it work? What changed after Adam's sin?

Should We be Common Placing Our Spiritual Values?

Since the advent of the internet, we have been constantly flooded with information. How are we suppose to process it all? Believe it or not this has happened once before in human history.

The Gift of All Gifts

What gift is this that Paul wished to impart? How was this gift given? Is it still in effect?

Wet or Dry -- What Should We Do?

Differing Things is a podcast which focuses on far religion and society have deviated from the Bible. It is easy for us to see deviation when we look at society, but sometimes it is difficult for us to see these deviations when it comes to religion.

Transgenderism

Humankinds potential for self-destruction through the lusts of the flesh appears to be limitless. While there is nothing new in the sensual sins and wanton debauchery that we witness in our culture, technology has undoubtedly advanced its influence. One such sin is being promoted in an apparently fanatical fashion: transgenderism!

Defining the Dispensation of Grace

Communication is critical for individuals to share and express important ideas. Unfortunatly, our communication is often lacking the necessary precision creating confusion in the hearer. This confusion typically results in rejection of some very important Bible truths. One such truth is the Dispensation of the Grace of God. Should not our language be precise to ensure great communication of the truth?

The Genesis Gap and its Origin in Bible Doctrine

What has been called the "Gap Theory" was a popular and consistent explanation of the first chapter of Genesis among Christians up through the mid 1900s. With the rise of Young Earth Creationism, the Gap understanding was simply pushed to the background and ridiculed as a past effort to satisfy the claims of modern evolutionary science. In effect the new teachers buried this doctrine with the debris of Noah's flood deposits. What does the Bible really teach about a Gap? Does a Gap have any basis in Bible Doctrine?
