One of the most confusing questions facing Christians today is, why does God allow so much suffering in the world? This question is also a barrier in the minds of many atheists toward belief in God. Brian Han Gregg, professor of Biblical studies at the University of Sioux Falls, SD, researched this dilemma and found that the answers are not so simple. There are easily a dozen reasons given to us t...

Of all the problems the Old Testament poses for our modern age, the question of the holy warfare is the one we want to avoid in mixed company. But do the so-called holy war texts of the Old Testament actually portray a divinely inspired genocide? Did Israel really slaughter Canaanites at God’s command? Were the Old Testament believers really enforcing divine retribution on an unholy people? Old Te...

Is science the primary way we can discern reality around us? Some would say it is the only way. This strict adherence to science as the basis for perceiving reality is called scientism. It is actually a philosophy position and strict adherence to its tenets can undermine the very foundation on which science operates. Philosopher J.P. Moreland exposes the weaknesses of this materialistic worldview...

Theologian Emil Brunner once famously stated that, “The church exists by mission, just as fire exists by burning.” If the work of missions is essential to the existence of the Church, why is it so difficult to accomplish?

The Bible talks about the great cloud of witnesses that has gone before us. Through their examples we can be inspired to faith and faithfulness (Hebrews 12:1). Many such examples are listed in the “Hall of Faith” of Hebrews 11. Others can be highlighted in the long history of the Church. In this interview with Karen Marsh, we consider some of these saints (who were also sinners), and find inspirat...

We can read in the Scriptures about Jesus, and observe how He walked in the world. But what do people see when they observe our lives? We are called to walk like Jesus. Such a walk can only occur as we learn to yield our lives, from the inside out, to the leading of the Lord. Author and professor James Bryan Smith, who was mentored by Richard Foster and Dallas Willard, provides insights to help us...

In this interview, we consider the idea that only in Christian nations were the circumstances right for science to progress to the point it has today. Based on the work of Stanley Jaki and Pierre Duhem, Transancos has researched this concept in depth. If indeed science was born of Christianity, the implications are significant in our day and age. People often think of science and Christianity as t...

Do faith and science intersect? If so, how and where and why? Does the Big Bang Theory somehow prove God? How are quantum mechanics and free will related, if at all? Did we evolve from atoms?

Trasancos, writer, scientist, and editor, who also teaches chemistry and physics classes and is...

Few people realize how much their brains control their lives, and how important it is to control their brains. The chunk of gray matter inside our skulls has more power and potential than the world’s fastest computers, and yet we rarely harness that power.
