Peace is a tremendous advantage in being a Christian. It is knowing that the Bible is internally consistent. Peace is an eternal perspective, knowing that God is in control, that we are a child of the King and our ultimate destination is heaven. Think of moments that encourage peace, like your times on a still lake with the mist rising up, a walk in the woods and listening to the birds singing their songs. Pursue them more frequently. Evolution cannot explain peace. It is opp

Those who believe in the Biblical chronology in the Old Testament piece can together a timeline from the beginning in Genesis to the birth of Christ, and depending upon the original manuscripts used, different results are reached. The challenge is to determine which text may have been corrupted or changed, and the reasons why. Most Protestants rely on the Masoretic text as the authority, but some argue that the Septuagint dates solve some problems, especially with reconciling

Doug and Rich recount events in their lives where accounts of the supernatural impacted their lives negatively, causing fear and doubt. But when they encountered Christ in their lives and received explanations for the supernatural, that fear dissipated with the realization that God is powerful enough to defeat these supernatural forces. Fascination with the occult pervades our society and it starts innocently even with children’s stories, but in many cases overcomes a person

It seems like adopting theistic evolution as a Christian worldview is the ideal way to be accepted in the scientific world as well as being able to embrace Christianity. However, the problems with doing so become apparent when both the science and theology involved are examined more closely.

What are the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and how should they operate in the body of Christ? This is a subject where there is a lot of confusion and various opinions, but what does the word of God say? Did they cease with the apostles, or do they still operate today? What does this do with creation and evolution?

Carl Kerby has a ministry called Reasons for Hope, and he also has his testimony in the book Persuaded by the Evidence. Carl relates his story how he spent years in church but never understood the plan of salvation. Finally, after attending a Lowell Lundstrom crusade, he received a simple gospel message and his life was radically transformed. He is traveling the United States delivering short lively DeBunked messages in his DeBunked VW van and on the Internet. This one is abo

A Christian posted this question on his FaceBook site wondering, with all of the evil in the world, and with abortion causing lives to cease right at the start, if for many it might be better if they had never been born. That raises questions why God would create or allow such a condition to exist in this world.

Eating well, thinking well and moving well are all part of what creates good health. 50% of that in my mind is thinking well. If we harbor bitterness, unforgiveness, envy, jealousy, and fear, our negative thoughts affect our emotions and our health. The reverse placebo effect is where if you believe something is bad for you, it may cause a reaction consistent with your beliefs. When we interviewed Dr. John Sanford and talked with him afterward, he thinks that many allergies t

Doug Sharp visited Europe on a Viking River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. Kerby Rials is a former missionary to Belgium, and they discuss the trappings of the state church and why many of the customs and traditions of that institution were left behind when the Pilgrims came to America. The church in Europe is asleep and almost dead and the reasons why are discussed.

One of the most difficult times in a child’s life is the time that they enter junior high school. Their bodies are changing, they are full of emotions, and there is a desire to separate from their parents and become more independent. This is the time when critical decisions concerning faith in God are made, and the experiences they have with family and the church will influence the rest of their life.

Here are the top ten questions to ask a Christian: 1. Are you ready always to give an answer to every man who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you with meekness and fear? I Peter 3:15 2. Do you have a good conscience? I Peter 3:16 3. Have you set aside your other gods? (pet demons) 4. Is your life different than those who live in the world around you? 5. Have you found the purpose God created for you? 6. Are you doing it faithfully? 7. Are you taking care of your tem

Kerby Rials is a missionary who has established a church in Belgium. He relates what it is like to talk about the Christian faith to people in Europe and why the message of the gospel is not being heard there. They are establishing a Christian cable channel in Belgium and one of the keys is to have materials about Creation Science in French.

Jeff Conklin explores the various evolutionary explanations why we wear clothing and compares these explanations to the Biblical model of how God clothed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

What is the origin of lying, and why are we tempted to believe lies? This program explores some of the major lies that are found in evolutionary theory, and what we can do to detect them.

Jeff Conklin describes the complicated issues concerning the idea of theistic evolution. That idea introduces problems that directly contradicts the plan of salvation. One can hold this position and still be a Christian, yet they cannot do so and be completely consistent with their own faith.

It is important to precisely understand the plan of salvation and refrain from adding to it or subtracting from it. The book of Romans gives us a clear understanding of what the plan of salvation is and how a person can receive it.

On of the first commands given to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden was the responsibility to take dominion of the resources that God placed in the garden. That is why Christians should take seriously the responsibility to care for the environment. That is in contrast to what extreme environmentalists propose, and many of the things they fight for are irresponsible and cause much more harm than good.

Paul Thompson spent a year teaching English as a second language in the Middle East, and shares with us his observations about the political and religious climate where he traveled.

Jeff Conklin talks about the negative effect of evolution on the basic doctrines of Christianity. Was there a literal Adam and Eve? If they were simply myths or legend, and if the first eleven chapters of Genesis are questionable, how can we explain the goodness of God, the origin of sin and death and the need for Jesus Christ the savior? Jesus himself believed in the historical fact of the fall of Adam, and that is why he came to redeem us. Evolution erodes the foundation of

This is the title of Jerry Bergman’s new book “How Darwinism Corrodes Morality.” He explains how the theory of evolution leads to sexual perversion, eugenics, abortion, euthanasia, war and death. There are several biographies of people whose writings screwed up the world with their immoral philosophies, and how each of them were dependent upon Darwin’s teachings.
