    Jesus and the God of the Old Testament

    William Lane Craig — 

    Hello Dr. Craig, I would first like to say thank you so much for being such an amazing resource for answers and perspectives on difficult questions. I have listened to you for years and have learned so much from your work. I would like to explain, that I am a Christian. I believe in Jesus and that he died for my sins on the Cross. However, I must admit that I have not delved into scripture wholeheartedly. I was so deeply affected by the Gospels that they struck a note with me. I believe in Jesus because I can completely relate to the message. It makes total sense for me. Man is depraved, we need a saviour, that saviour is God, God came to live as one of us to show us the only way to live and consequently died, all so that we may turn from our own self righteousness and follow him. Jesus set the standard as has never been matched or could not be matched by man or gods. My problem lies further back in the timeline ...

    Why do We Sing in our Worship Service?

    Kenneth Berding — 

    I started the New Year by worshiping, fellowshipping, and preaching at Taft Avenue Community Church in Orange, California. At one point in the service, Pastor Bob Burris read aloud a short explanation of why Christians sing during times of worship. I appreciated what he read and want to share it with you today. The reading was adapted from a blog post by Kevin DeYoung, cut down to a length that could be used in a worship service. Why do we sing when we worship together?

    5 Reasons You Should Get Apologetics Training

    Sean McDowell — 

    The purpose and nature of apologetics is often misunderstood. Some people think it鈥檚 about arguing for the faith. Others think it鈥檚 about apologizing. In reality, apologetics simply refers to the defense of what you believe to be true. But isn鈥檛 apologetics someone else鈥檚 job? Isn鈥檛 it reserved for pastors, Bible teachers, and other 鈥渋ntellectual鈥 Christians? The answer is an unequivocal no. As C.S. Lewis said, the question is not if we are apologists, but whether we will be effective apologists. All of us are called to have an answer for our hope in Jesus Christ (e.g. 1 Peter 3:15).

    How "Passengers" Subverts the Sexual Revolution

    Sean McDowell — 

    The movie Passengers released this today, Wednesday, December 21. The film features Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt as two passengers on a 120-year trip to another planet when their hibernation pods wake them up 90 years too early. When the ship malfunctions, their job is to protect the other 5,000 passengers from certain death. The movie is PG-13 for sexuality, nudity, and action. As the trailer makes clear, there is a 鈥渓ove鈥 scene between Lawrence and Pratt. Since she has not done many sex scenes like this (especially with married men like Pratt), Lawrence has talked about how awkward it was and that she got really drunk beforehand.

    El Fervor de los Cristianos en Cuba / The Christian Zeal of Believers in Cuba

    Octavio Esqueda — 

    En los 煤ltimos d铆as se ha dicho y escrito mucho sobre Cuba. La muerte de Fidel Castro ha originado un sin fin de perspectivas sobre su legado, sobre la Revoluci贸n Cubana y sobre el bello pa铆s de Cuba en general. En lo personal, he tenido el privilegio de viajar a Cuba en trece ocasiones, de convivir con much铆simos cubanos en diferentes contextos y de hacer una investigaci贸n sobre la educaci贸n teol贸gica en Cuba. Me gustar铆a resaltar que en Cuba ha habido un avivamiento espiritual por much铆simos a帽os en donde el Esp铆ritu Santo ha estado obrando poderosamente a lo largo de la isla. El crecimiento de la iglesia ha sido tal que muchas denominaciones no se dan abasto en la preparaci贸n de l铆deres y en el discipulado de los nuevos creyentes.

    Is God a Respecter of Businesses? Yes, No, and Yes

    Mark Saucy — 

    One of the benefits of being part of a Christian university is the opportunity for collaboration with colleagues across the disciplines. For theologians this is gold. Questions for integration of faith in science, history, politics, or psychology? I鈥檝e got specialists across campus, all with the same mission, who have been thinking about such things for a long time. One recent opportunity in this direction was participating a colloquium with the faculty of 911爆料网鈥檚 Crowell School of Business. Among many topics opened that day, one in particular has haunted me these days in the interim. It was a question that revolved around a start-up competition the Business School sponsors. Students are encouraged to submit business plans for the hope of some start up seed money to launch. But what should be the criteria for judging 鈥渂etter鈥 proposals? Beyond certain received best practices for the business side, does God prefer some business plans to others? Following is my original Yes and No answer to the question; what comes after is now another rather late Yes for the conversation. God does prefer some businesses to others ...

    Truth is a Person 鈥 Not Simply An Idea

    Sean McDowell — 

    Truth matters. And in our moments of honesty, we all know this. Minimally, we all live as if truth matters. It鈥檚 unavoidable. Truth matters in religious matters too. All religions (including atheism) claim to present a true depiction of reality. And this includes Christianity. But there is a key fact that makes Christianity distinct from other world religions 鈥 Christianity does not present truth merely as an abstract idea, but as a person who can be known.

    With Endless Information, Can We Know Anything At All?

    Sean McDowell — 

    Recently I was speaking to a group of pastors, youth pastors, and other church workers in Idaho. One pastor asked a question that, in my experience, perfectly captures the thinking process of many students today. He said, 鈥淢y younger brother, a Millennial, is constantly on his cell phone. When I try to talk to him about God, he says that people disagree and so we simply can鈥檛 have any confidence at all in our beliefs.鈥 How would you respond? Can we know things or are we lost in a sea of endless information?

    Problem Passages in The Message

    Gary Manning Jr — 

    My friend Ken Berding wrote a recent blog post explaining his concerns about using The Message. As he pointed out, people often treat it as a Bible translation, when it is actually a very loose paraphrase. One of Ken鈥檚 observations is that The Message routinely adds meaning to or subtracts meaning from the original Greek and Hebrew text. While doing detailed work in the Greek New Testament and in several English translations, I have repeatedly found this to be true.

    What are the Best Questions for Meaningful Spiritual Conversations?

    Sean McDowell — 

    I love having conversations with people about spiritual matters. If we treat people with kindness, charity, and show a genuine interest in how they see the world, most people are open to discussing religious matters. In fact, in my experience, many people are eager for such conversations.
