When you are surrounded by trouble, when your problems are many and overwhelming, when you do not know what to do, what do you do? Worrying will not help. Becoming paralyzed by fear is worse.

Is Christianity the Only True Religion?

Religions abound, all types, each claiming to be true. With so many religions in the world, how can one be sure which one, if any, is true? One thing is certain, they cannot be all equally valid and they cannot all be from God. Why? They contradict each other. If God authored more than one […]

How do you respond to bad news? Do you immediately go into panic mode and begin to pray desperately for God’s intervention?

Posted on June 11, 2013 12 Comments
Our sin nature is eradicated, our sins are evaporated, and our guilt is eliminated. That is, if Jesus arose. We believe He did. Skeptics say He did not.

Some say He’s a good man, a prophet, perhaps the greatest and most holy man to ever live. But they say, He’s not God. Are they right? Can He be good, holy and great, and yet not be who He claimed to be? Consider this rational exercise, the trilemma argument, popularized by C.S. Lewis, to […]

What do you think of this statement, “Do good, God’s glad. Do bad, God’s mad?” If you believe this is a true statement and it is consistent with the New Testament, you are wrong. The truth is, God’s opinion of us in the New Covenant is not based on our performance, but on
Is there really a God?
