• Theological Extrapolation
  "Theological extrapolation" is one way of describing a new hermeneutic or principle of interpretation that promises to help Bible readers more accurately apply the Scriptures in their lives today. This interpretative/applicational approach has also been called a "progressive" or "developmental" or "trajectory" hermeneutic. William Webb, the author whose book I want to survey in this paper, prefers the label "redemptive-movement" or "redemptive-spirit" hermeneutic because he believes these better emphasize his conviction that his conclusions reflect those of the Scriptures... But is it all that it claims to be? In this paper Pastor Wellum explores this and other important questions.
  
  
• A Pastor’s Look at Paul in Athens
  Acts 17:16-34 has some important things to say to us in the day and place in which we live because it gives us a rare NT glimpse of an apostle presenting the gospel in a secular setting that in many respects mirrors the situation in which we increasingly find ourselves today.
  
  
• An Evaluation of the Church Growth Movement
  Today it is no exaggeration to say that the Church Growth Movement (CGM) is a force to be reckoned with. No Christian movement of this magnitude, however noble and sincere its stated intentions, is beyond scrutiny in light of the Word of God.
  
  
• Christian Baptism
  Sincere believers differ when it comes to baptism and have done so for hundreds of years. However, underlying a person's view of baptism is a definite concept of salvation, and though Christians on different sides of the baptism issue may agree on many things, unbiblical views of baptism misrepresent God's salvation at key points.
  
  
• Satan and his Activities
  "Satan" means different things to different people. The Bible tells us about Satan because he is real and we need to know something about him if we are to glorify God. It presents him as a very personal threat to our eternal welfare. Therefore, we need to hear what the Bible has to say and then carefully and prayerfully put it into practice.
