    Is The Great Controversy Over God’s Character True?

    Recently one of the members of my Bible Study Class gave me a copy of a small publication by a group of former SDAs.

  • God is Love – All the Time

    God is Love – All the Time

    God is love – all the time! There is never a time – past, present, or future  – where God is anything other than love! And Love is “not self seeking” (1Cor13) – all the time! There is never a time when love seeks itself. There is never a time when God seeks self.

    Music and the Brain

    Dr. Jennings, I was wondering what you think the Christian’s relationship with music ought to be.  Since the Bible doesn’t speak to the popular styles of music of our day, is there any scientific research or human experience that you might cite in order to either recommend or caution against rock, pop, jazz, and hip…

    How To Defend Your Faith When Questioned

    How would you advise someone who is a new convert, and is still learning Bible truth to have the confidence to defend their faith whenever another Christian come to them […]

  • Baptism – Necessary or Not?

    Baptism – Necessary or Not?

    Could you please write a blog on the topic of baptism. My understanding is that when you come to know God and trust him completely, there comes a point when you decide to surrender your life to the will of Jesus and follow him 100%.

  • Confessing Faults and Sins

    Confessing Faults and Sins

    You presented a really moving and challenging set of seminars at Midport SDA. I had a couple of questions that arose out of your first presentation on Guilt. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and you could not take any more questions. I would really appreciate it if you could respond here.
