Peter's Preaching And The Apostle's Preaching By: Denny Smith | - It is not uncommon to hear people express doubts about the harmony of the preaching and teaching found in the New Testament often doing so by making the claim that the various writers of the New Testament differed in what they taught.

The Book Of Ecclesiastes - The Most Depressing Book In The Bible? By: Denny Smith | - Is the book of Ecclesiastes the most depressing book in the Bible? Well, it can be - no doubt about it. I don't think it would make very many people's list of favorite Bible books. I know personally it always kind of depressed me in days gone by when I would read it but that was my fault, not the book's. I would like to try and show the upbeat side of the book of Ecclesiastes.
