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

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

Church Gatherings and Worship

WORSHIP SERVICE is a term often used to describe a Sunday morning gathering of a church. But is real worship actually happening there? God isn’t looking for attendees to fill up the pews; He’s seeking true worshippers. When Jesus encountered the Samaritan woman, part of their discussion was about religious observance. She was focused on the right place of worship, but Jesus explained that there were two much more important aspects. Genuine worship of God must be done “in spirit

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

Wikipedia – Consensus Science at its Worst

Wikipedia – A dubious source, but a powerful tool for suppressing dissent by Paul Price Since its inception in 2001, Wikipedia has been a controversial website, plagued with problems, the greatest of which is the serious concern of biased and inaccurate content.1 This is no small problem for the internet at large, since Wikipedia has become a go-to source on nearly everything, appearing in a very high percentage of Google searches as one of the top results.2 More recently, Google was embarrassed

The Rise of Irrationality

One of the hallmarks of the last days will be the rise of irrationality. Romans 1:28 says, “And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind to do those things which are not proper.” The Greek context here means God gave them over to a mind that cannot even think in its own best interest. Satan must be pleased. Hatred is on the rise in America. Everywhere we

Shootings in America: The Deeper Problem

Controversy swirls around last week’s tragic shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. As is to be expected, the information being revealed about the shootings is sketchy and often contradictory. Arriving at the truth about these events is usually a tortured process. The final story is seldom what it appears at first to be. Two things are clear to me, though. The first is that certain factions appear to have been poised and ready to strike a

Why Jerusalem Always Was The Capital of Israel

[On December 6, 2017,] President Donald Trump fulfilled another campaign promise. In so doing, he did something no world leader before him has done. He officially recognized the reality of the past 3,000+ years — that Jerusalem is the eternal and undivided capital of the Jewish state and the Jewish people. By declaring that the United States recognizes and affirms that reality, he broke ranks with every other nation on earth. It was, indeed, a courageous and historic moment. Now,
