Know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. 2 Peter 1:20-21
God doesn’t just exist. He hasn’t created everything and left us trying to figure out who He is and what He desires for us. No, God […]
What is the biggest challenge? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
It’s Christians parents raising children who love God as adults. Consider how the sons of Eli, Israel’s high priest, turned out. Or you may know or have an adult child who was raised in a Christian home, but now has little to no interest in the things of God.
What to do? Christian parents must authentically follow Christ themselves and intentionally cultivate […]
Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the Lord. 1 Samuel 2:12
It is a repeating pattern throughout history—God-fearing parents raising children who turn out not to be God-fearing as adults. Consider the ungodliness of the sons of Israel’s high priest, Eli (1 Samuel 2:12) or King David’s son, Absalom. Perhaps you know or have personally experienced […]
Why is the inspiration of Scripture so important? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
In the New Testament, the apostle Paul writes, “All Scripture is inspired by God…”
That God divinely directed the 40 human authors of the Bible is foundational. Because if he didn’t, then Scripture is the words of fallen man and not the true word of God.
The good news is that God didn’t create everything and leave us in the […]
What is your starting point on origins? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
When it comes to the how and when of the origin of the universe, your starting point is all-important. If you start with God’s word as the bottom line for truth, that “in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them”, then man’s word, that nothing exploded into something […]
The last two weeks on The Christian Worldview, we have dived into an important and oft-debated question: How and when did the universe begin?
We discussed four prominent positions:
For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Exodus 20:11
The how and when of the origin of the universe sparks great debate. And for good reason. The ramifications of believing the Biblical account that “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1) versus the God-less theory that “In the beginning, nothing exploded […]
Young earth or old earth? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
Genesis 1:31 says, “God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.”
Every time Scripture uses a number with the Hebrew word for day it refers to a 24-hour day. Thus, the plain interpretation of Genesis 1 is that God created everything in six, 24-hour days about […]
