The war of words between Israel and Iran is intensifying. The rhetoric comes at a time when the nuclear talks in Vienna to stop Iran's nuclear program seem stalled. When Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz met with U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin recently, he reportedly presented a timeline for an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear program and told Lloyd Israel is “preparing for the Ira...

Matthew 21 tells the story of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on what we call "Palm Sunday" just a few days before He was crucified.

Everyone comes from a different background with different experiences, but your past doesn't have to determine your destiny.

I'm a Christian, but do I really need to go to church? I get this question a lot, and it's fair enough... if we have Jesus, why do we need church?

Even in churches in which men and women are getting a regular diet of biblical theology and redemptive history from the pulpit, what is being offered in small-group Bible study is often driven by felt needs, has little biblical or theological rigor, or is oriented around self-improvement. But when biblical theology infiltrates Bible study, it puts the emphasis on what Christ has done rather tha...
Mike Kruger delivered a message at TGC’s 2021 Women’s Conference titled “Can I Lose My Faith? Understanding Apostasy.” Susan Pevensie, of The Chronicles of Narnia fame, serves as the jumping-off point of the message, having been so central to the beginning of Lewis’s storyline, yet so glaringly absent from its conclusion. As Peter, her brother explained, she was eventually “no longer a friend o...
Some religions teach that their god punishes people for sin to keep them in a state of fear and obedience. Is the God of the Bible like that? Does God punish us for our sins here on earth? And is Covid a punishment for rebelling against Him? Sure, He sent the plagues against Egypt, but it does not mean that all-natural disasters are a judgment from God. Michael Heiser explains the power of God ...

How can “God is love” be a half-truth when the Bible clearly teaches that, indeed, God is love? God’s attributes, the inherent characteristics of His being, include more than just love. Love is not just about making another person feel warm and fuzzy but love also includes pointing out what may be uncomfortable. Melissa Doughtery explains that while the world easily embraces the fact that God ...

What are the limits of the Law of Causality? The Law of Causality is all about cause and effect; it states that for every effect there must be a cause. Does this law only apply to the physical or does it apply to the metaphysical (what cannot be perceived with our senses) as well? In this video, Frank explains how the Law of Causality applies to both the physical and the metaphysical. Listen to...
“You are loved.” But what does that even mean? Today’s society tells us love is not only an unconditional emotion but an unconditional acceptance of all behaviors. According to them, pointing out behavior that is wrong, isn’t loving. However, Biblically, that is not true. Truth is kindness and truth is loving. Pointing out harmful or dangerous choices in love. It is loving to tell people that t...
Dr. John Lennox explains that atheism cannot explain why there is evil in the world because they have no moral basis to make the claim that evil exists. An atheistic worldview must permit all behaviors without a way to judge what is good or evil. Atheists put their heads in the sand when they think they solved the problem of evil by claiming there is no evil. Not only is that illogical, but it ...
Miracles seem to happen quite frequently in the Bible, however, today they seem very rare.

We are commanded to be able to give an answer for the hope that is in us (1 Peter 3:15). Part of being able to give an answer is being able to discern what is not an answer for our hope. As our society moves further away from Christian values, we need to teach our children the skill of discerning what is true about the Gospel and what is not. Alisa Childers shares another impressive list of fiv...
What do Americans and the Canaanite people, destroyed by God in 1,250 BC, have in common? About 860,000 things, actually. All of them innocent lives sacrificed by their own parents upon the altar of convenience. That’s 2,400 babies a day. Will God judge America for emulating the sins of the Canaanites? What can you do to turn America back to God and save innocent children? First, please watch a...
“Satan is just as powerful as God, he just uses his power for evil!” Have you ever heard or even thought this? Does Satan have the same attributes as God or are his attributes different? If Satan is as powerful as God or if Satan shares the same attributes as God, we’re all in serious trouble. Melissa Dougherty lays out the argument that Satan and God are two entirely different types of beings ...
We know the New Testament is historically reliable because of the Criteria of Authenticity.

What a question! The topic of female pastors can be a divisive issue, but it ought not to be. What God’s Word seems to be saying is that women can have all but one role in the church. However, this does not mean women are inferior to men. Women and men are equal and perform best with their different functions and roles.

Most past-life “memories” are based simply on one’s experience, which are then accepted as true (by some) without applying much in the way of critical thinking. However, false memories are lies, even if they are comforting and come from a “spirit guide.” The danger in engaging with spirit guides is that it opens us up to demonic entities, who will steer us far from the Lord.
