Bible Basics

 

Bible Basics

BIBLE BASICS is a newspaper column written by Clark Dugger and published weekly in the Tyler Morning Telegraph on various Bible passages and topics.  Since each article is only one paragraph long, it is often necessary to write a series of articles on a particular passage or subject. 
As the title indicates, these articles set forth basic fundamental truths taught in the word of God.  While each article is very concise and brief, every effort is made to keep the focus on the Scriptures.

Below you will find a list of recent articles by both date and topic.  Feel free to read, copy and use these articles to the glory of God.
