by Tony Williams Perhaps you, like me, have had the experience of being stopped by a police officer for a traffic offense such as speeding. I recall well the feeling of burning anger that the officer would dare to stop me, of all people, for barely going 17 miles per hour faster than the posted […]
Por Al Serrato El objetivo de la apologética cristiana es “defender” la fe, y el objetivo de la fe es proclamar las buenas nuevas de la salvación al mundo. Salvación, naturalmente, significa salvar, y una persona solo necesita ser salvada cuando está en peligro. Pero pregúntale a mucha gente hoy en día en qué peligro […]
By Josh Klein The Four Horsemen of atheism stormed the cultural, philosophical, and spiritual scene in the early 21st Century. Their dogmatic atheistic positions (or even anti-theist depending on who you talked to) were immediately popularized. The late Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett and Sam Harris comprised the crew. They rode their vitriol for […]
By Ryan Leasure This article will consider the differences among the modern translations. Translation Theory Have you ever wondered why Bible translations differ from one another? For example, some say “brothers” while others say “brothers and sisters.” Or some say “he knew her” while others say “he had sexual relations with her.” Why the differences? […]
Por Brian G. Chilton Durante casi diez años, he tenido el honor de ofrecerles razones para creer en la resurrección de Jesús. Ahora me encuentro al final de una licenciatura en estudios teológicos y apologéticos. Para algunos, la educación avanzada tiende a hacer que uno dude de su posición con el tiempo.

by Natasha Crain I had a revelation last week that, in retrospect, was many years overdue. So overdue that it borders on embarrassing to admit this was a revelation in 2022. Here it is: Mainstream media doesn’t try to be objective. Now, before you laugh too hard, let me make a clear distinction: I’ve long […]
By Maggie Hendrick Apologetics, when done gently and respectfully (1 Peter 3:15), is beneficial in evangelism, as we see the Holy Spirit using it over and over again in Scripture through Paul’s “reasoning” and “persuasion” to draw souls to the Lord. However, in this article, I will show how apologetics in the local church has […]
by Melissa Dougherty Many believe that all humans are born children of God. Is this true? I want to examine the Bible’s words about this beautiful theological truth. Spoiler alert- It’s true. According to the Bible, we’re not born children of God. The belief that we’re all children of God is never taught in the […]
By Al Serrato In my last post, I tried to make the case that God neither “needs” nor “demands” our praise. I acknowledged that he does, however, expect it, because praise naturally flows to a perfect being. But, the skeptic may counter, doesn’t the Bible describe God as “jealous?” Don’t the Ten Commandments include prohibitions […]
By Cathryn Buse Before I had children, I worked as a systems engineer at NASA at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. Throughout my career, I met many brilliant scientists and engineers who were committed Christians. But I also encountered a lot of intellectual skepticism toward Christianity, especially on the question of the […]
