“Do to others as you would have them do to you” is a Biblical directive given by Jesus himself (Luke 6:31). It’s often referred to as the Golden Rule. It’s how God wants you to live. But it can’t save you. You see, that directive is part of God’s law and the Bible is equally [...]
There is an unsettling trend in Christianity to try to discredit much of the Bible as exaggerated stories or to label the eyewitness accounts of Christ in the Scriptures as “pious myth.” If you think such charges may be true, I’ll ask if you’ve ever actually read one – a myth, I mean. Trust me, [...]
Jesus Christ is true God, the second member of the Holy Trinity, perfectly united with the Father and the Holy Spirit throughout all eternity (John 1:1,2). When the time was just right, the Father sent Christ to earth. Jesus was conceived in the Virgin Mary as a perfect and holy child by a miracle of [...]
The Bible is clear that there is one God. The Bible is also clear that there are three separate persons of that same God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Christians use the term Triune to describe our three-in-one God. I have known Christians who think they have the Triune God all figured out. “He’s like [...]
Last week we saw that life is amazing at the microscopic level, but King David also came up with the best word to describe the miraculous life growing in the womb: “me.” He wrote (speaking to God), “You knit me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13). You see, you didn’t come from a fertilized [...]
About 1000 B.C, King David concluded that he was “fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139:14) All he had to do was examine the available evidence. For example, he saw a cut on his own human skin repair itself almost magically. In our age of modern technology, we’ve been able to study the human body much [...]
Those who do not take the Bible as God’s Word feel the need to explain away the miracles it contains. Are they offended by the miracles? Embarrassed? Whatever the reason, some Christians are teaching that the miracle accounts of the Bible are myths. How tragic! Don’t be misled by so-called experts who say that people [...]
Why do bad things happen? If God is love, why doesn’t he do something about all the suffering? These are questions people have asked throughout the ages. Only God’s Word — the Bible — gives us satisfactory answers. The Bible tells us that God created Adam and Eve in His own “image” (Genesis 1:26,27). This [...]
According to the Bible, the entire universe, including this earth, and the human race, was brought into existence at the beginning of time when God created all things out of nothing only by the power of His almighty Word. (Genesis 1, 2.) The Biblical account is clear that the entire creation took place during six [...]
The Holy Bible is the most popular book in all of history. And throughout history, the Christian church has regarded the Bible as the very Word of God himself. Sadly, that is no longer true. Many mainstream Christian churches no longer hold that the Bible is God’s Word in it’s entirety. The results have been [...]
