Remembering to Look Ahead
As we enter a new year, many will surely embrace this fresh start as a time to set goals to accomplish through their own effort and discipline. While this is not a bad thing, the Bible offers a different vision. An episode in the story of Israel may serve as a reminder of how the…
Read MoreIdentifying the Messiah
Is there evidence in history that God gave specific information hundreds of years in advance about a person He knew would live here on earth? What specific accounts are given and where can they be found? Did the people to whom the information came recognize that they had been given special information? Do these prophecies…
Read MoreProphecies and Probabilities
If specific prophecies were fulfilled by the Messiah, does the science of probability consider this “proof” there is a God? Anyone can make predictions—that is easy. Having them fulfilled is another story. The more statements you make about the future and the greater the detail, the better the chances are that you will be proven…
Read MoreGod Came to Visit Us!
I came across the title phrase recently in a book I am reading. Think about that: God came to visit us! The implications are immense. It’s almost beyond comprehension. Of course, we have little hints that God has done this kind of thing before. Take a look at Genesis 3:8: “Then the man and his…

An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid.

Read MoreChristmas Lights
Do you have that one friend or relative who always needs just one—or two or three or…—more strings of lights for the tree? Well, the rest of us may shake our heads in disbelief at some point, but we can’t get away from the fact that Christmas lights on the Christmas tree, or on and…
Read MoreDoes Science Strengthen Faith?
Our blog deals with the relationship of science and faith. In our modern society many observers believe science and faith are separate domains of truth. Dr. Hugh Ross of the “Reasons to Believe” ministry is an eminent scientist/theologian who believes science affirms the truth of the Christian faith and belief in God as the Creator of All Things.…
Read MoreWhat Does the Bible Tell us About the Source of Psychic Powers?
It is our conviction that not only the history of parapsychology and the occult, but biblical teaching as well, indicates that human nature is devoid of the supernatural capacities that many psychics and occultists claim. Nowhere in the Bible is man presented as having supernatural powers that originate from his own nature, and so any…

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Who is our shepherd? The Lord, the Lord God of Israel. This is the same Lord who came to earth, took on human flesh, and declared, “I am the good shepherd”! What does a good shepherd do? “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep….…
