Through the years, our understanding of Jesus has been shaped by different cultural influences, and many Christians have forgotten that Jesus was a Jewish man living in a Jewish land, observing Jewish customs, and investing his life into Jewish men and women.

It is not uncommon for people with advanced scientific training to come to the conclusion that the story of creation as found in Genesis is mere legend, and that Adam and Eve could not have been real people.

What is the most effective way for Christians to explain their Christianity to the secular world? The standard approach has been to quote Scripture and to argue truth propositions.

In 2005, a team of paleontologists led by Mary Schweitzer discovered 70-million- year-old, fossilized-dinosaur eggs that contained soft tissue. Since that time other such findings have been found, including remnants of dinosaur blood. What do such artifacts tell us about the age of the earth? Might these discoveries be a first step toward “Jurassic Park”-type experimentation in our day? These are...

God is everywhere and always with us. So why don’t we experience His presence more? Life is full of distractions, and our 24/7 news cycles and social media drown out the voice of God. It’s hard to discern God’s presence amid the hubbub. But experiencing God is not just for the super-spiritual or ultra-mature. Every Christian can learn to cultivate a greater awareness of God in the everyday. Author...

This final study in Revelation highlights key themes and a closing point of application all wrapped around the word "quickly." Once we grasp the usage and implications of quickly, we will understand the central idea behind the entire prophecy. This simple idea, in fact, upholds the main point of the entire Bible.

Each of us have lived in dwellings of some kind. None of us, however, have experienced a perfect home. The home God is preparing for us will exude perfection in a manner that we cannot fully grasp while in our mortal state--it will be a new type of new. Revelation 21 describes this future reality with words and images that will encourage our faith to build indomitable hope within us.

Careful reflection on the meaning of "The Great White Throne" opens before us the most significant issues of our lives: God's judgment and our eternal destiny. We will ponder the various stages of God's judgment to better understand our accountability before God, what we might expect on the final day, and how to live faithfully for God through the trying experiences of our lives.

The Millennium has become one of the most pivotal issues for interpreting the book of Revelation. If, however, the thousand-year reign of Christ is so important, why is it not even mentioned until near to the end of the book? And why is the word "Millennium" not found anywhere else in the Bible? In Revelation 20, we will discover the importance of the Millennium and will uncover important insights...

Revelation 19 opens with a climatic celebration that fulfills the rich and wondrous promises throughout Scripture of God’s eternal love: the wedding supper of the Lamb. Ushered in by uproarious praise, this final and complete union between Christ and his Bride, the Church, should give every believer a fresh confidence that God loves them and will reward faithfulness in ways we cannot now comprehen...

Revelation 17 & 18 focus on the utter destruction of Babylon through graphic and emotive poetry. What is Babylon and why must it be destroyed? More to the point, why are we urged to "come out" from her, and what does that mean? These and other issues relevant to our lives will be explored through Biblical history and personal application.

As modern Christians, we embrace Jesus as the Lamb, but have a difficult time understanding Him as a Lion. When confronted with the Biblical theme of God’s wrath in Revelation 15 & 16, we may find ourselves rushing past the descriptions of His anger and justice that we might get to the celebration at the end of the book. To accept God’s love, however, without embracing the necessity of His justice...

Why are so many leaving the church? For a significant number, it’s not because they don’t love God, but because they do.
