I’ve always marveled at how Christ precisely fulfills the Old Testament Jewish feast days. Consider . . . 1) Passover (Leviticus 23:5) – Pointed to the Messiah as our Passover lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7) whose blood would be shed for our sins. Jesus was crucified on the day of preparation…

1 Tim 6:15-16 says “he (God) who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality.” This raises an intriguing question. If God “alone has immortality” how do we reconcile this with the truth that the soul is immortal? This…

The Christian Researh Institute has an excellent article here on the second century apologist, Athenagoras of Athens. “Athenagoras of Athens is one of three great Greek pagan philosophers who, during the second century AD, converted to Christianity on account of the wisdom of its teachings and the moral lives of…

There is an interesting essay here, written in 2004 from a Roman Catholic perspective, on the rebirth of apologetics. As the culture spirals into darkness, becoming hostile and pagan, we find ourselves in a situation similar to the early second century which gave birth to such apologists as Justin Martyr,…

“America’s infatuation with all things Ozempic is rife with issues a jab just can’t cure. The new pills may mean even bigger problems for a culture—and Christians—wrapped up in weight . . . In his book Seven Daily Sins, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary professor Jared Wilson cites gluttony as “the big…

Lactantius, writing early in the 4th century after Constantine had assumed power and the persecutions were over, noted in Book 2 of his Divine Institutes that the church was empowered over the demonic. In chapter XVI of Book 2, Lactantius writes concerning demonic entities, “They (the demonic) do indeed injure,…

“Fair-Weather” Christians are tepid believers, following Christ only when it suits them and offers material advantages – i.e., when the sun is shining. When persecution comes and there is a real cost to following Christ, they quickly fall away (Matt 13:20-21). During my time in Saudi Arabia in the early…

This is a fascinating discussion. My hat’s off to both the skeptic (who is articulate, polite and patient) and the two Christians (who also are polite, articulate and patient) who are not afraid to wrestle with difficult questions.

The false prediction of the rapture occurring on September 23, 2025 was tragically popularized by more-than-a-few evangelical Christians who acted foolishly (watch the sad video at the bottom). A South African pastor’s apocalyptic prophecy sparked widespread panic and ridicule across social media, as many Christians braced for the Rapture to…

Jesus questioned tradition. In Mark 7:8-9, Jesus questions tradition by saying, “You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.” And he said to them, ‘Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites…’” This highlights His criticism of how traditions can sometimes override God’s commandments. The key…
