It’s again time to look not at cults and false teachings to avoid, but to look at good instruction.

There are many viewpoints about what the Bible says is allowable for divorce and remarriage. My personal view is that divorce is permitted for marital unfaithfulness (adultery - either actual physical, or mental by indulgence in pornography, etc), abuse and abandonment. I also maintain that biblical divorce allows for remarriage. This article asks the question of whether there is biblical grounds for divorcing an abuser.
Do all infants go to heaven? I believe they do, and I wrote justifying my position back in April 2011. This article from The Gospel Coalition agrees with my assessment.
Have you even been confused about the differences in the genealogies of Jesus as presented in Matthew and Luke? Marie has a good article to help you with your struggle.
Finally, Joe has some good thoughts about the Lord’s Supper.

Hi Glenn, yes, GTYs series on Bereans was excellent. I also appreciate your comments and link about divorce... sadly, the church is often merciless toward women and children, consigning them to a life of suffering, telling them to stay with an unrepentant husband, instead of setting them free as God's word permits. Is divorce ideal? No of course not. But it is also not "ideal" for husbands to cheat on or beat up or abandon their wives (and vv, though it's more often man harming woman). God says I desire mercy not sacrifice.

John MacArthur is one of my favorite pastors. He is often my go-to source for contextual information.
Thanks for the link, as well.
I've always liked MacArthur, and have his study Bible as well as his single-volume commentary. I just tip-toe around his TULIPs.
Thanks for these links Glenn, especially the MacArthur ones.
Joe's article on the Lord's Supper was good!
