In every order of magnitude, what is God telling us about Himself? The beauty we see in creation should drive us to seek to know Him in Scripture. Knowing God—not just in your head, but in your heart—will make all the difference in your life.
We need to think well and realize that the Christian faith is founded on fact. The object of our faith is key. Although the amount of our faith may change, but the object—the person and work of Christ—never will. As a result, Christianity is not a crutch—it’s the cure.
Isn’t Christianity just a psychological crutch? We frequently hear this objection to Christianity in one form or another: it’s an invention that helps emotionally weak people; it enables the purposeless to create meaning for themselves; it is merely the result of preconditioning. When someone comes to us with this objection, that is an opportunity to point them to Christ. We need to think well and understand the ins and outs of this objection in order to address it.
From a scientific perspective, the probability for the existence of life on a given planet is practically zero. Yet here we are. How do we explain how we got here?
Are science and faith opposed to each other? What empirical evidence is there for a Creator of the universe? Ken Boa addresses these questions in his series: Science, Faith, and Reason.
C.S. Lewis had a knack for communicating profound biblical truth in a simple way that captures the imagination. His pithy statements illuminate the importance of Christianity and the wonders of the world to come.
What can we learn from the difficult year of 2020? How can we recalibrate our minds and spirits in light of it? And how can we live this year as if it might be the last?
Emotional, intellectual, and volitional barriers on the part of the unbeliever often prevent the christian from sharing his faith. In order to be an effective witness, one must know specifically what these barriers are and how to navigate them.
In this extra session at the Cove during the 2019 Reflections Ministries retreat, guest speaker Glenn Sunshine discusses the evolution of worldview over the past 500 years.
