Questioning the Origin and Authority of the Bible
The biggest division within and the greatest challenge facing Christianity today centers on how we view the Bible's origin and authority.
Viewed simply, Christians fall into two camps. Modernists / Liberals and Fundamentalists / Conservatives. This, in turn, frames how each of us interprets and applies Scriptural passages relating to such controversial and divisive issues as…
ContinueTwo Things True: God's Judgment and Grace
We often experience the fact that more than one thing is true at the same time. Often we know conflicting things, both true and yet in tension.
So it is that we are challenged to our own settlement of two big and seemingly conflicting truths about the properties of our relationship with God. One is named judgment and the other is called grace. These two simple words have challenged us over…

America "under God:" A Christian Nation?
As Christians, we believe that we live "under God" as individuals as well as collectively in our communities, regions and nations. We acknowledge that we live by God's grace and under his judgment. Regardless of where we live in the world--be it the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, China, Nigeria, Libya or India--we live "under God" whether or not we acknowledge it.
As Christians, although we live in the…

Perversions of Grace: Cheap Grace and Legalism
God's written Word is clear about salvation: "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast," says the Apostle Paul (Ephesians 2:8-9). "For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart…

The End Is Near! Inquiring Minds Want to Know!
The "end is near!" Christians are full of questions about the future, and inquiring minds want to know.
We see many signs and events in the world today that are deeply distressing, which some who are "in the know" associate with the imminent fulfillment of Biblical end-times prophecy. Are we literally living in the last…

Do Born-Again Christians Continue to Struggle with Sin?
In the First Chapter of First John, the apostle writes that if we claim to be without sin we are deceiving ourselves. I get that. It makes sense to me.
Then come the difficult passages in the 3rd and 5th Chapters where John states that "children of God" do NOT "keep on sinning." He does not qualify…

How reliable and trustworthy are the Scriptures? Are they the written word of God?
