Read MoreHow can we conclude that a person is glorified?
Question: I’d like to know how to define “glorify.” How can we conclude that a person is glorified? By what sign? Answer: The word “glorify” means “to give glory to”.

Read MoreMaking Known His Glory
by Andrew Hamilton A section of Romans caught my attention during a recent Bible study. As a quick reminder of the context, Paul spends quite a bit of Romans explaining the righteousness of God.

The confusion over predestination isn’t due to understanding that it exists; rather, the questions is who was predestined and for what purpose.

Read MoreWhy did Moses veil his face?
Question: Exodus 34:33-35 talks about Moses putting on the veil because his face was radiant after speaking with the Lord, which I read to mean that people would be scared to see a glowing face which reminded them of the fear of God, but in II Corinthians 3:13 it says that Moses didn’t want people…
