By the mid-1990s, it became clear that the Internet would drastically transform people and cultures. The effect would be total and not limited to a few high-tech nerds.

Written against this backdrop, Dr Douglass Groothuis will give us the first evangelical critique of the Internet. He will...

When most people think of theology, they usually picture a seminary professor lecturing about obscure terms like dispensationalism, hypostatic union, or substitutionary atonement. It doesn’t seem like the kind of thing that “normal” Christians need to know. But as he continues our study in Titus, Pastor J.D. explains that good theology is essential in our everyday lives.

Rental real estate can be a valuable investment, providing additional income and the potential for long-term appreciation. But unlike owning stocks or mutual funds, rental property requires ongoing attention, financial resources, and a willingness to...

Sometimes, we treat prayer as a last resort. In reality, it’s our best option. And sometimes it’s our only option. So many of us could testify to the power of prayer, and even tell a story of how God came through just in the nick of time. So why aren’t we calling on God more often? And why don’t we let Him use us to step out boldly for Him? We’ll consider those questions today on A NEW BEGINNING a...

We love it when we hear those stories in the news about ordinary people who come upon someone in danger and they risk their own lives to save them.

Whether at home or in the wild, animals bring comfort, joy, fascination, and wonder into our lives. It’s only natural, then, to hope the animals we cherish so much on Earth will someday live with us again.
