Isn’t Christianity Just a Psychological Crutch?

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.

Jesus: Lord of All

Teacher. Moral example. Good person. These are common modern descriptions of Jesus, but we need to ask, what did Jesus say about Himself?

The Uniqueness of the Bible

The world delights in criticizing the Bible, seeking to find fault with it in any way possible. But when we address these complaints, we find them to be groundless. Examining the Bible for ourselves reveals a book that is not only a beautifully written unique masterpiece but also one that is sound and lacking in contradictions.

Eyewitness Evidence

There are over 40 different authors of the 66 books of the Bible, which were written over a time span of about 1500 years on three continents. Despite this diversity, the books have a comprehensive unity with internal themes as well as external events.

Turning Objection into Opportunity

Can we trust the Bible? This question concerns one of the fundamental pillars of the Christian faith: the authority of Scripture. Listen in as Ken Boa discusses how to address this question.

Science, Faith, and Reason: Biogenesis and Information Theory

In the 19th century, individual cells were thought to be the simple building blocks that made up complex organisms. Since then, however, we have discovered that the cells themselves are just as complex as the organisms they are a part of. The more we study them, the more astonishing and elegant they appear.
