Christianity, it’s different

Christianity is different from other world religions. Most of them can survive their sacred texts being found to contain conflicting details. What’s most important to them are the broad generalities they teach, not the particulars of their founders’ lives. But Christianity holds itself to such a high standard — 100% accuracy (a standard established by God Himself) — that the details of the life and death of Jesus Christ are critical to the validity of Christianity’s entire message. In fact,

Where Does Truth Come From?

by Martyn Iles A few years ago, I was helping a group of teenagers with some tutoring sessions. They would ask about everything, from English essays to science projects. As this practice grew, I wondered how we might make the best use of our time. So one evening I asked them, “What do you need help with the most?” After a long pause, one of them suddenly lit up as if she’d had the best idea of her life. That’s

Eve of Destruction – Part 3

In the last of this series, I would like to focus on where too many of our U.S. citizens stand regarding Jesus. Sometimes, even Christians who supposedly believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior, need a reality check. Mark Hall of Casting Crowns wrote words that are sobering and should wake up the country to its lackadaisical attitude when it comes to where our lives should be focused, where our priorities should lie, and not just on Sundays. This

What is Success?

I have a beautiful Japanese maple tree in my front yard that provides a home for birds in the spring, refreshing shade in the summer, and gorgeous foliage in the fall. It’s an amazing creation of God. It’s also a wonderful example of what He desires to do in the lives of Christians. He wants us to be firmly rooted in Him, to demonstrate to the world the beauty of a life transformed by Christ, and to be fruitful in

Ordinary People Making Extraordinary Impacts

In 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, an African-American seamstress named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a municipal bus to a white man. Her arrest jump-started the Montgomery Bus Boycott, one of the initial efforts in the subsequent Civil Rights Movement. Though she was active in local civil rights efforts before taking her stand for her own rights, she was a relative unknown who changed the course of American history. Todd Beamer was an account manager on a

Did God really create over billions of years?

People often challenge biblical (young-earth) creationists with comments along the lines of, “I don’t believe evolution, but couldn’t God have taken billions of years to create?” Some claim that an emphasis on six literal days, 6,000 years ago even keeps people away from the faith, so why do we focus on something that is not a salvation issue? It is not the timescale in and of itself that is the important issue, but whether the Bible actually means what it

Doing Away With “Race”

Even though it’s been decades since Martin Luther King Jr.’s work for civil rights and fighting discrimination, prejudice is still alive. Why? Well, because racism is a consequence of sin in a fallen world infused with evolutionary thinking. The consequences of racism on a personal and social level are huge. But what do we do about it? Here is some truth and practical and personal application points from chapter five of the book One Race, One Blood by Ken Ham

Can I Be A Christian and Believe in Evolution?

This question arises frequently these days as evolution is taught in public schools across the U.S. Some Christians think it’s irrelevant whether they believe in Biblical Creation as long as they accept and abide by the Gospel. But is it? Here is some perspective inspired by Joel Tay, a Scientist at Creation Ministries International, that shows this is a more serious matter than some Christians think. The belief that it doesn’t matter what you believe about biblical creation infers a

What Is Your Authority?

Nowhere does God’s Word state you have to believe is six literal days of creation or that the earth is just six-thousand years old to be saved. There are Christians who believe in millions of years and Christians who accept evolution. If they profess Christ as their Savior, and have a personal relationship with Him, we should not question their salvation. In fact, does the Bible state you must believe in any of these things to be saved? Jesus walked

Is There A Climate Emergency?

Climate emergency directs our thoughts to physical climate change. We’re being told, with increasing frequency and alarmism, that climate change is going to destroy everything, including, perhaps, human life (and some claiming it could happen in just a few years). But is this hysteria justified? Since the 1960s, scientists and government leaders have been warning of catastrophic environmental failure, largely due to climate change. But their predictions don’t come true! Some of these failed apocalyptic scenarios include: In 1967, Stanford
