Discerning Christians see all around them the evidence of a nation in moral decline: rampant divorce, high percentage of children born out of wedlock, extramarital sex (heterosexual and homosexual), the same-sex “marriage” revolution, along with a host of other symptoms of a society that has rejected God and His Word.
The question is, why are we where we are in America? While the above sin was certainly occurring in the 1950s, along with others such […]
The sovereignty of God could be defined as God’s rule or control over everything in the universe. In other words, God knows all and causes or allows everything that happens.
Wrapping our finite minds around that is hard enough, but now add that God has created us with the ability to make meaningful choices in a world over which He is sovereign…
It is our deepest conviction that God’s Word provides the true (and most reasonable) answers to the world’s most pressing questions.
The Bible speaks with clarity on age-old questions such as “How did the world begin?” and “Does God exist?” Scripture also addresses questions in the modern-day news relating to homosexuality, global warming, and other religions.
This doesn’t mean that Christians have to know everything fully, but rather that God has given us plenty of explanation […]
Who or what is the basis for truth, for what’s right and what’s wrong, for laws, morality, personal decisions, even the age of earth? Is it the Word of God or the ideas of man?
The authority of Scripture has been largely discarded in our society, and explains why, for instance, the Minnesota State High School League just ruled that “transgender” students who “self identify” as opposite their biological gender can compete on sports teams opposite […]
And He [Jesus] answered and said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?

A father and mother who are married and raising children—that has been God’s design and intent for […]
It may be hard to believe but there was a time when the university campus was a place where Truth was sought and taught, where God and His Word were venerated. Elite colleges such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Oxford all had strong Christian underpinnings.
That is certainly not the case today. The college campus is the intellectual hub for all things God-rejecting in our society, from moral relativism to religious and ideological pluralism. The humanistic […]

It’s a debate that has been taking place for at least 500 years, starting when Martin Luther nailed his “Ninety-Five Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences” to the door of the All-Saints Catholic Church in Wittenberg, Germany.
Many consider this act to have ignited the Protestant Reformation, a turbulent and deadly period when men like Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, and many others “protested” against doctrines and practices […]
While the Middle East has always been known for its volatility, the region has been especially on fire recently. In Iraq, where the United States recently withdrew its military after spending more than ten years and trillions of dollars and lost thousands of lives, an Al Qaeda associated group called ISIS is quickly and brutally taking over the country.
Similar atrocities are taking place in Syria, Africa, and Egypt as Islamic jihadists kill each other […]
Most American Christians don’t consider having a Bible—or multiple Bibles—in their home a notable occurrence. After all, the Bible is the bestselling book of all time and therefore its ubiquitousness seems rather unremarkable.
That is, until they hear about William Tyndale, a 16th century Englishman who fled his home country and was eventually martyred for translating the Bible from its original languages (Hebrew and Greek) into English…
For millennia, there has been a cost to being a Christian, as all manner of persecution and death have come to Christians around the world. A barbaric, evil example of this recently occurred when Islamists beheaded 21 Coptic Christians on a beach in Libya.
For most of American history, there has been comparatively little cost for being a Christian. Sure, outspoken Christians are shunned, reviled, and looked over for positions of leadership. The […]
