Clifford A. Wilson Over the years the Bible has been attacked by critics more than any other work of literature. But the Bible has an uncanny way of vindicating itself. Its superiority to attack, its capacity to withstand criticism, its amazing facility to be proved right after all, are all staggering by any standard of … Continue reading ““THE

DOES ARCHAEOLOGY PROVE THE BIBLE?
Clifford A. Wilson People often ask, “Does archaeology prove the Bible?” In fact, many people are interested in archaeology only because they believe it “proves the Bible”. However, few scholars today would look on archaeology as merely the means of proving the Bible, worthy as that objective may be. Archaeology An Academic Discipline Archaeologists are … Continue reading “DOES

EDITORIAL COMMENT:
Why Bible And Spade? In this day when the printing presses of the world are spewing forth tons of printed material, new publications appear almost daily (most of them never survive!), and the shelves of the periodical section of every library are jammed, why Bible and Spade? We at Word of Truth Productions feel that … Continue reading “EDITORIAL

THE WORLD WORLDLINESS
The world of sense intrudes upon our attention day and night for the whole of our lifetime. It is clamorous, insistent and self-demonstrating. It does not appeal to our faith; it is here, assaulting our five senses, demanding to be accepted as real and final. But sin has so clouded the lenses of our hearts … Continue reading “THE

Our “vastly improved methods of communication” of which the shortsighted boast so loudly now enable a few men in strategic centers to feed into millions of minds alien thought stuff, ready-made and predigested.

PREACHER/PREACHING
How long must we in America go on listening to men who can only tell us what they have read and heard about, never what they themselves have felt and heard and seen?1 —— No man should stand before an audience who has not first stood before God. Many hours of communion should precede one … Continue reading “PREACHER/PREACHING”
PAST/PRESENT/FUTURE
Jesus Christ never thinks about what we have been! He always thinks about what we are going to be. You and I are slaves to time and space and records and reputations and publicity and the past—all that we call the case history. Jesus Christ cares absolutely nothing about anyone’s moral case history. He forgives … Continue reading “PAST/PRESENT/FUTURE”
