Problems in the Church

The below series of articles was done by Cecil Willis while editing truth magazine between 1961 in 1963.

The Messiah and Racial Problems

In February 1963, Franklin T.. Puckett delivered an address at the Florida Christian College lectures on the subject of “The Messiah and Racial Problems”. Those connected with the magazine at the time were so impressed they immediately sought permission to reprint the entirety of his address in the magazine.

William E. Wallace wrote regarding this dissertation:

We believe it is a masterpiece. It deals fairly and squarely with the issues of race relations. It is scholarly and accurate in research and data; it is biblical and practical in both its observations and applications.

“Liberal”: What Does That Mean?

In 1990 Boppy Holmes wrote an excellent article on the meaning of the term liberal. He uses some Old Testament examples to show the flawed logic of taking a “broad minded” approach to obedience to God’s commands. As was warned when the institutional controversy arose so many institutional congregations are now reaping the benefits of this broad-minded interpretation of God’s commands.

Echoes from the Past: The Need for Parental Authority

In November 1959 Truth Magazine reprinted an article which originally appeared in the gospel Advocate in April of 1931. The article was by H. Leo Boles, a recognized Bible scholar of the period, on the need for parental authority. Clearly, this is an important subject for every generation as we can see all around us the evidence in society of a failure to apply these biblical principles.

Luke by Colly Caldwell

Understanding that Luke is one of four Gospel narratives, it seemed to me from the beginning that, to accurately interpret, it requires the inclusion of information from Matthew, Mark, and John.

Description

Understanding that Luke is one of four Gospel narratives, it seemed to me from the beginning that, to accurately interpret, it requires the inclusion of information from Matthew, Mark, and John. While we have not provided the same type analysis of passages from those books, we have liberally included reference to them in order to round out the story of Jesus‘ life and make it complete. With that in mind, the reader who might wish to read through this work, will hopefully get a more accurate sense of the historical flow of God‘s revelation regarding His Son.
