Faith: ‘wishful thinking’?
By Steve Wilkinson I often hear people talk about faith as if it is ‘wishful thinking’. This is especially true in the ‘science vs. religion’ debates. “I have my reason…. you have your faith…” is the general sentiment. I have even heard Christians use a similar way of...
Yes, You Do Have Time to Learn Apologetics

On the Historical Accuracy of the Book of Acts
By Tim McGrew Here are some of the details that Luke gets right in Acts that cannot be derived from Josephus. Most of these can be found in Colin Hemer’s magisterial work, The Book of Acts in the Setting of Hellenistic History. 1. A natural crossing between correctly...
What it Takes to Raise a Christian Child in a Country Ruled by Moral Confusion
By Natasha Crain Oh, this election. How it’s brought out the worst in everyone, including the two people running for office. As crazy as the last few months leading up to the election have been, I haven’t felt inspired to write anything about it…until now. The...
Does It Matter Whether God Exists?
By Eric Chabot After talking to hundreds of college students for several years about spiritual beliefs, one thing that comes up from time to time is whether the existence of God is even relevant. In other words, the discussion kind of goes like this: “I don’t see what...

By Natasha Crain Since my book, Keeping Your Kids on God’s Side, came out in March, I’ve been blessed to receive 75 five-star reviews of it on Amazon. To all who have taken the time to leave those reviews, thank you! It means a lot! In addition to those 75 reviews,...
Approaching the Existence of God
By Eric Chabot How do we know God exists? In the past when I was asked this question I used to automatically jump to an argument for God. I would sit down and try to explain it in detail to the individual. I have now decided to take a different approach and back...

Tetragrammaton And Jehovah’s Witnesses
By Prayson Daniel Unwarrantedly Watchtower Society’s Translation Committee added “Jehovah” in 237 places in New Testament. By doing so, New World Translation (NWT), Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible, blurs many passages that depicts Christ Jesus as Lord (Kyrios) of Old...

An Open Question to Presuppositionalists
By Spencer Toy I've recently been listening to a number of the Reformed critiques of Andy Stanley and the defense of him that Frank Turek posted here at Cross Examined. While I believe that some of these criticisms have merit, I believe there is a major problem with...
Andy Stanley Responds to the “Who Needs God” Controversy
Who Needs God? Some Christians say Andy Stanley does. In fact, he gets more attacks from Christians than non-Christians. Is it his message, his method or both? Some are upset with him because, in their judgment, he uses the wrong apologetic method by not assuming...
Presuppositions of Science
By Philip Carlson Often I am told that science should be the ultimate arbitrator of truth. While it would be nice if this were true it just does not hold up under scrutiny. Science would need to be the final authority on all matters and while that might be a nice...
