Benjamin Franklin once said that we should be a "Jack of all trades and a master of one." Unfortunately that has often been misquoted to say "master of none".
We all should be good at the business we are in, good at relating to others, good at managing our family and civic affairs, and good at creative expressions. Yet behind all this is the discipline that we should master: Biblical Studies. It is from an accurate understanding of the Bible and the principles therein that we achieve excellence at everything else that we do. Knowing God's Word is the prerequisite to all successful human endeavors.
We offer some teaching on the Bible which we hope will help you better understand God's Word in the cultural context that you find yourself.
Our contributors include Laura Bagby, honors graduate of the University of Hawaii, Dr. Randall Smith, director of the Great Commission Bible Institute and acknowledged expert in Biblical Culture, Jon Hamilton, a noted radio Bible teacher, and Michael Bagby, an honors graduate in History from Miami University.
