The World God Loves Has a Face

By Terry Crist We all come from places. We live in places. In first-century Israel, the land was dotted with approximately 240 closely knit communities, much like modern neighborhoods. These small villages ranged in size from just a handful of families to around one hundred residents, covering three to four acres—a scale comparable to a […]

A Faith Lesson from Peter’s Denial of Jesus

By Michele Cushatt Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on […]

Jesus: The Word Made Flesh

By Andrew Klavan In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men . […]

At the Table Communing with Jesus: An Interview with Louie Giglio

What do you imagine when, in the middle of Psalm 23, you read the author telling God, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies”? A table? In a field? With adversaries lurking around? Wouldn’t a fortress be better? What does it mean to sit at the table with the King […]

Evidence for Jesus’ Veracity Without Using the Bible: An Interview with J. Warner Wallace

What would happen if a career homicide detective—who equated belief in Christianity to be equal with belief in the Easter Bunny—used the same investigative approach used to solve modern-day missing person murder cases to determine whether Jesus is who he said he was? Can the truth about Jesus be uncovered, even without a body and […]

The New Math of Grace

By Philip Yancey By my reckoning Judas and Peter stand out as the most mathematical of the disciples. Judas must have shown some facility with numbers or the others would not have elected him treasurer. Peter was a stickler for detail, always trying to pin down Jesus’ precise meaning. Also, the Gospels record that when […]

Recapture the Wonder of God-With-Us This Advent Season

By Scott Erickson I. Love. Holidays. I’m always up for a celebration! And the crème de la crème for me is Christmas. It is by far my favorite time of year. But a few years ago, as the twinkly lights and evergreens came out, as they always do, I found myself increasingly ambivalent about the […]

Even Non-Believers Can Agree on Facts Concerning Jesus: An Interview with Justin W. Bass

Did you know that, even though they don’t believe in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, scholars who are not Christians do agree with believers on some matters concerning Jesus? Surprisingly, there’s a lot upon which everyone can agree. When surveying historical scholarship, Christians, agnostics, and skeptics have no other option but to affirm certain truths […]

The God Who Meets You Where You Are

By Michele Cushatt There are times when I read the Old Testament and struggle to make sense of it. The dysfunctional families, murderous agendas, strange dreams and experiences. It seems left field, far-fetched, impossible. When I look at what God does or doesn’t do, I struggle to understand Him. How could a real and loving […]
