Suppose someone said to you, “How can Christians say we have free will to choose God when we’re threatened with Hell if we don’t choose God?” In this short video, Greg Koul and Amy Hall of Stand to Reason do a great job of responding to this challenge. On a similar note, people will often falsely claim that God is basically saying, “Love me or else.” This is yet another misrepresentation of the situation. Instead, a more accurate description of the circumstances would be as follows: You and I are rebels against a Sovereign King and His Kingdom. Even though each one of us deserves to face His justice for our crimes against Him, He has graciously offered to pardon us and has even provided the means by which to do so. It is now up to each person to decide whether to receive His offer of pardon and forgiveness, or to reject it.

Have you ever heard the comment, “Jesus never said anything about gay people or gay marriage”? That is not true. There are at least two reasons why that argument fails. For one thing, notice that Jesus never said anything about bullying, r*pe, slavery, or spousal-abuse. Are we supposed to assume that His silence on such matters means that He would approve of any of those things? Of course not. Secondly, Jesus actually DID have something to say about this topic. It’s important to keep in mind that the words of Jesus are not just the “red letters” in the Bible. All of scripture is God-breathed. Jesus said and proved that He was God in human flesh. Therefore, since Jesus IS God, He inspired all scripture. In both the OT and the NT, He has made it clear that s*x between people of the same s*x is wrong. Furthermore, He has also made it clear that s*x between people of the OPPOSITE s*x is wrong if they are not married to each other. (see Gen. 18:16 through 19:29, Ex. 20:14, Lev. 18:22, Lev. 20:13, Deut. 5:18, Prov. 5:1-23, Prov. 6:20-35, Rom. 1:18-32, I Cor. 6:9-10, I Cor. 6:15-20, 1 Thess. 4:3-5, I Tim. 1:8-11, Heb. 13:4, II Peter 2:6-8).
(Re: more “direct” quotes from Jesus in the NT). In Matt. 5:27-28, Matt. 15:19, Mark 7:20-23, and Luke 18:18-20, Jesus condemned adultery between people of the opposite s*x, so we have no good reason to think that he would ever approve of s*x between people of the same s*x. Furthermore, when it comes to defining marriage, in Matthew 19:4-6 and Mark 10:6-9, Jesus specifically endorses God’s design for marriage as one man and one woman. So, as you can see, Jesus did, in fact, have a lot to say about this topic.
In the following short video, Christopher Yuan (speaking from experience as a former gay) and host Frank Turek cover some of these same points. You will find a link to the video in the comments below.

This is an excellent, thought-provoking commentary by Pastor Josh Howerton re: the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Of particular note is that he exposes and explains the worldview that drives this and similar events in our culture that always result in division, chaos, confusion, and a misguided hatred and resentment toward law enforcement.
Even though the subtitle to this podcast is "How Christians Should Respond," I would hope that everyone who sees this post would take a few minutes to watch and listen. This particular topic begins at 1:14:30, and I would encourage you to listen all the way to the end. Also, because this is SO important, please be sure to share this with others.

As always, a great response from Cliffe K. to the question about God and the problem of evil and suffering. Also, I would like to add the following: 1) If there is no God, then every form of suffering in the world (warfare, famine, natural disasters, murder, genocide, disease, death, etc.), ALL of that is nothing more than "natural selection." In other words, all of it is simply nature's way of "weeding out" that which is unfit for survival. If that were the case, then there is no such thing as "evil," nor can we say that death is "bad”; in this view, death is "good" because it eliminates the weak and is the very process that supposedly allowed us to "evolve."
2) When the unbeliever raises this question, they are essentially saying, even if there IS a God, if He has the power to stop such evil, then why doesn't He do so? But as I always point out to the unbeliever, I've noticed that God's critics are always insisting that He only remove the evil in this world that offends them. That is, they expect God to overlook and ignore the various forms of evil that they enjoy, approve of, promote, take pride in, and participate in. However, it doesn't work that way. God is holy, and when His final judgment falls, He is NOT going to judge evil on our terms, according to our arbitrary standards. Rather, this God who is absolutely holy and just will do so on His terms. As someone has said, "If God answered your request to 'remove all evil by midnight tonight,' where would you be at 12:01?"

It's important to love God and love people, but what's even more important is that we begin with a proper understanding and definition of "love." This includes understanding the difference between God's definition of love and the world's definition of love because they are not the same thing. If we're going to love someone in a genuine manner according to God's definition, it means that we should want for that person what God wants for them. The problem is that genuine love is on a collision course with the world's definition of love which says, "If you really love me, you should want for me all of the things that I want for myself."
A person who holds to that definition of love expects you to agree with, affirm, and approve of everything that they say and do. They expect you to never say or do anything that would disagree with them, correct them, upset them, or offend them. But just a moment's reflection on this should tell us that the world’s definition of love not only shows a great deal of immaturity, it is totally unrealistic.
Be sure to take the next 2 minutes to listen as Frank Turek explains why genuine love does not require approval. You will find a link to the video in the comments below.

Chances are, you will be meeting up with friends, family members and loved ones over the holidays. During such gatherings, it’s not unusual to find that there is someone present who has walked away from Christianity (“deconstructed”). But whether you are talking to someone who has given up on Christianity, or whether it’s someone who feels that they have good reasons for not becoming a Christian in the first place, Greg Koukl and Amy Hall of Stand to Reason offer some great advice in this podcast to help you have a great, productive conversation with that friend or loved one.

“If there exists a supernatural Being capable of bringing all space, time and matter into existence from nothing, such a Being could certainly accomplish the virgin conception of Jesus, the Resurrection of Christ, or any of the other ‘lesser’ miracles described on the pages of the New Testament. In addition, there is no historically, textually or philosophically necessary reason to reject the claims of the New Testament authors. If you’re a Christian this Christmas season, celebrate the birth of Jesus with confidence and certainty. The virgin conception is not a fanciful, fairy tale. It is a true story. In fact, there are five good reasons to trust that the story of Christmas is factual, reliable and true.” -J. Warner Wallace
In the following article, J. W. Wallace explains each of the five reasons why you can trust the birth narratives recorded for us by Luke and Matthew in their gospels. You will find a link to the article in the comments below.

“Here are the top ten archaeological discoveries related to Christmas. Together they demonstrate that the earliest accounts of the birth of Jesus in the gospels are authentically set within the timeframe the events occurred.” -Bible Archaeology Report
In this episode of “Digging for Truth,” Henry Smith of Associates for Biblical Research interviews ABR’s staff researcher and writer, Pastor Bryan Windle, as they discuss the top ten archaeological discoveries related to Christmas.

"Discernment is not a matter of simply telling the difference between right and wrong; rather, it is telling the difference between right and almost right." -C. Spurgeon
This eye-opening discussion between Sean McDowell and Michael Kruger not only provides us with an honest and accurate assessment of the differences between historic Christianity and "progressive" Christianity, they take a fair and even-handed approach to this topic. It's really important to understand the differences between the two because it helps us understand the subtle shift over the past several years, away from historic Christianity towards that which retains the name "Christianity" while denying some of the foundational doctrines of genuine Christianity. As a result, we're seeing more and more of this turn up in popular Christian books and church curricula for youth, children, and VBS.

Is the creation account in Genesis a record of real, historical events as they actually occurred? Some scholars suggest that Genesis is figurative, symbolic, and was written as poetry. Even though some people today would insist that it doesn’t really matter either way, the fact is, it matters tremendously for a number of reasons, but that is beyond the scope of this particular post. For now, the point to be made is that even though there are many accomplished, intelligent scholars who hold the view that the creation account in Genesis is poetry or symbolic, you may be surprised to know that there are very good reasons to say with confidence that Genesis records real, historical events.
In this interview with Hebrew scholar (Hebraist) Dr. Steve Boyd, he points out that the world’s greatest Hebraists affirm that Genesis is a historical narrative. Furthermore, after conducting a statistical analysis of Genesis One, Boyd was able to establish, with an accuracy of 99.942% - 99.987%, that Genesis 1:1- 2:3 is NOT poetry. Rather, it is a historical narrative.

For over 27 years, geologist Andrew Snelling has been doing research at Grand Canyon. As a result, his observations continue to show that the rock layers not only pose a serious challenge to the notion of “millions of years” of earth history, they confirm the biblical flood account. In 2013, various agencies of the Federal Government tried to prevent him from doing further research, so Dr. Snelling had to take them to court. Over a 4-year court battle, it came to light that he was being targeted because of his biblical worldview as a scientist. But after winning his court case and resuming his research at Grand Canyon, Dr. Snelling, Dr. John Whitmore, and their team made some incredible discoveries confirming the Flood of Genesis, as you will see in the following video. Be sure to take the next 10 minutes to watch this fascinating video where geologist Andrew Snelling shares his exciting research at Grand Canyon and the evidence for The Flood.

Many people right now are so focused on their hatred for this current president and his administration, they don't even notice that something which truly IS a threat to them is gaining momentum. If you don't believe me, take the next few minutes to listen to this interview with Brigitte Gabriel, where they discuss:
How radical Islam is spreading in the U.S.
The connection between political extremism, socialism, and antisemitism.
Why New York City is at the center of this battle.
How politicians like Zohran Mamdani are enabling dangerous ideologies.
What Americans must do now to defend freedom and protect future generations.

Just for clarification, they make several references to C.A.I.R. (not CARE, which is an entirely different organization).
While I would highly encourage you to listen to this entire interview, please make it a priority to at least listen from 13:30 to the end.
