Religion

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

If you were to ask ten questions of an atheist, what would they be? Doug and Rich gives a list of the top ten questions that an atheist would find it tough to answer.

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

A barrage of gaps and missing explanations in evolution is listed in this program about the origin of life. The gaps are non-life to life, amino acids to proteins, nucleotides and sugars to DNA, the origin of RNA, cellular components, then from single celled organisms to multiple cells. The problems continue all the way up in the evolutionary sequence to people.

There are many examples of things Christians may get caught doing that might cause a person to reject Christianity as a result. Ultimately every person is responsible to God to make that decision for themselves despite the actions of others.If a person finds themselves standing before God someday and they use the excuse that a Christian offended them and that’s the reason they rejected Him, how would that fly?

Two missionary families describe their experiences in the Lord’s grace and leading in the assignments they have in Bible translation in Papua New Guinea and building a school in South Sudan.

In the effort to appear “tolerant” many people make the statement that all religions are basically the same. The ten commandments, however, contradict that idea, and that explains why there is pressure to remove them from public display. The first three commandments, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me, thou shalt not make any graven images, and thou shalt not take the Lord God’s name in vain” point out the exclusive nature of Christianity. Jesus said I am the way, the t

Kerby Rials is a missionary to Belgium, and he discusses the spiritual climate of Europe. It is interesting that there are atheist churches there that conduct weddings and funerals, but he observes that their atheism is only skin-deep. Deep down, according to Kerby, there are no real atheists. When times get tough, they pray.

This is an age-old question. War is an evil that has always been part of this world, and the question of how a Christian should deal with it has always been difficult. “Apparently I must shoot you,” declared Blaise Pascal in Pensees. “You live on the other side of the river, and my leader has a quarrel with your leader. Sorry, I must shoot you.” This seems senseless, and in perspective of heaven and hell, and God’s ultimate purpose, there is a paradox that a believer must res

The message of Creation Evangelism seems to be important only to a percentage of Christians, and the reasons people become Christians vary. These reasons are explored in this program, We conclude that the role of Creation Evangelism is to remove the intellectual stumblingblocks to faith. Not everyone faces these issues.

The Master’s House was a street ministry in Lansing, Michigan that reached out to people on a one-on-one basis and did not resemble a traditional church. Doug and Rich share memories of some of the supernatural events that took place under God’s grace.

A challenge is made to a group of engineers to collaborate together to produce a duckbill platypus. Although it is really cheating, these engineers are allowed to borrow materials for this project from any living system. The triple constraints are time, cost and scope. Given unlimited time, money and resources, will these engineers succeed?

I Corinthians chapter 12 talks about gifts that are given to Christian believers that are supernatural in nature. Many of these are controversial, but they are also very iimportant to understand and when these are used properly in the body of Christ for ministry, they provide evidence for God’s direct hand in the affairs of men.

Outward expression of the Christian faith exhibited by the fruits of the Spirit as listed in Galatians 5:22 are another dimension of evidence for the truth of Christianity. Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, meekness, faith, patience and self-control are poweful in their unique expression of the nature of Jesus Christ, and that trumps scientific theory.

Why are people who are otherwise very intelligent attracted to false worldviews and hold onto them? Using Jason Lisle’s book, the Ultimate Proof of God’s Creation, we obtain a list of fallacies and discuss why people fall into their trap.
