Why God? Come and See!

come and see

Come and see my Jesus. I heard about The Chosen television series about the ministry of Christ. Friends highly recommended it, but I didn’t expect much. I mean, how many ways can you tell the Jesus story? It’s been done many times before. And typically on a low budget, with marginal acting. So I didn’t […]

The Apostle Paul’s Writings: Still Applicable?

Apostle Paul sm

The Apostle Paul wrote a good bit of the New Testament, and much of the Christian lifestyle and church governance come from Paul‘s teachings. Should you and I still listen to him?

I was with a bunch of Christians recently, who were in agreement that the point of Christianity is to get people saved — so they don’t go to hell.

Christ Heals Our Hurt By Saving Us

Was Jesus Really Without Sin?

Jesus without sin

Scripture Says Jesus Was Without Sin All of the Bible‘s New Testament books, which were composed less than seventy years after Jesus’ death, have one consistent message: that Jesus lived without sin. We’re told this in the four Gospels, in reports of speeches by early Christian leaders in the books of Acts, in epistles written by […]

An Investigation: Is Jesus Liar, Lunatic, or Lord?

Liar Lunatic or Lord

Was Jesus Christ a liar, lunatic, or Lord? While many have asked and offered to answer this question,  the evidence clearly shows that He was a historical person and that His life radically altered human history. As world-renowned historian Jaroslav Pelikan put it: “It is from His birth that most of the human race dates […]

Resurrection Theories Debunked: Christ Rose

resurrection theories

In this post we examine and debunk three resurrection theories developed by skeptics. Few skeptics deny the essential events — the trial, the crucifixion, the burial, the guards, the Roman seal, and the empty tomb — because historical evidence strongly supports them. Instead, they focus on suggesting that these events don’t mean that a dead […]
