Fear of God Is just the Beginning of Knowledge

By Tiger Talk Blog

BY DR. JOE ALLOTTA We all know the verse that says, “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” There are quite a few verses that reference the fear of God and even a couple in the New Testament. Often times I hear people just erase the word or change the word “fear” to “reverence.” Obviously, we should be reverent to God but “fear” has a different meaning. Fear means to be afraid of something dangerous. We tend…

Are You A Navigator?

By President's Circle

“In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” Philosopher Eric Hoffer There is no doubt about it, change is upon us, increasing at an exponential pace. When knowledge is doubling every eighteen months and increasing, how is one to stay current and meet expectations? We must be constant learners. We must be as the sons of Issachar, “men who had an understanding of the…

Your Lion’s Den

By President's Circle

BY DR. MARK O’FARRELL: I never get tired or bored with Daniel chapter 6! How about you?

Starting at a Small Bible School in Florida

By Tiger Talk Blog, Trinity College Alumni

“Starting at a small Bible school in Florida…” President Trump On the day Billy Graham passed away, the news was texted to me by my sister Kathy, and immediately a flood of emotions hit me. I was at my desk taking attendance at the small Christian school I worked as a Bible and history teacher. I had to ask another teacher to watch my class as I stepped out to regain my composure. At that moment, I felt the presence…

Misunderstanding “Repentance” is Confusing the Gospel

By Tiger Talk Blog

BY DR. JOE ALLOTTA: Repentance is brought up a lot in Gospel presentations. I can already hear someone saying, And rightfully so! But is repentance a part of salvation? That’s where the misunderstanding comes into play. If when you say repentance you mean, stop sinning before coming to Jesus, then you are dead wrong.

Complacent Repentance

By Tiger Talk Blog

Complacent Repentance BY BURK PARSONS: I love to hear stories about our faithful forefathers in ages past, and while it may be mere legend, I have heard that the great nineteenth-century British pastor Charles Spurgeon posted a sign on the door of his study.

Billy Graham Accepted the Challenge

We Accept the Challenge

By Tiger Talk Blog

We Accept the Challenge By Vera Resue, Valedictorian speech of the class of 1940 and classmate of Evangelist Billy Graham.  There has never been a time in the history of the world when young people are being challenged as now. There has never been a greater opportunity to demonstrate virile Christianity as now. Christ’s enemies are daring to charge that the world disorder and conditions in which we find ourselves are proof that Christianity has failed and therefore it is…

By President's Circle, Tiger Talk Blog

The Christmas Story, Unimaginable and Incomparable! By Dr. Mark O’Farrell Matthew and Luke record the historical event of the birth of the Lord Jesus!
