God’s Unbreakable Word

The Bible is either a book written by men about God, or it’s a book authored (ultimately) by God and given to men. Those are the alternatives. If the former, it’s prone to all the errors, flaws, and misguided opinions that humans are prone to. If the latter, then that changes everything.

We all feel the crushing weight of this world at times—this fallen, sin-stained, broken, busted-up world. How can we trust that God is good when we’re in the middle of a difficult or painful circumstance?

WARNING: Read Instructions Before Use

When we face persecution, when doubt creeps in, or when our wisdom falters, then we dust off our Bible and finally dig into the Word. But waiting for a crisis before we study Scripture is a losing strategy. Here are three reasons why we should all be reading our Bibles more.

Three Telltale Signs of “Christianity” Gone South

When you encounter a group you suspect may be theologically questionable, find out their answers to this trio of key questions.

The Destructive Power of Porn (and How to Break Free)

Porn distorts your mind, cheapens intimacy, and draws you away from God’s design for love and relationships. In short, pornography destroys, and it does so in multiple ways.

#STRask: What Would You Say to an Atheist Who Claims to Lack a Worldview?

Questions about how to handle a conversation with an atheist who claims to lack a worldview, and how to respond to someone who accuses you of being “stubborn and dogmatic” because you defend your views and don’t capitulate to their arguments.

Greg explains that spirituality is measured by spiritual fruit, not spiritual gifts, then he answers questions about preterism, evidence for a beginning of the universe, the law requiring rapists to marry their victim, and whether or not Genesis 1 indicates God created chaos.
