    Contributed by Greg Hanson on Feb 19, 2007
    based on 17 ratings
     | 12,533 views

    How do you reconcile the existence of evil with the existence of a good, all-powerful God? Part 5 of a series inspired by Philip Yancey’s book "Disappointment with God."

    If God’s so good, why does evil exist? Good question, and a question that theologians, philosophers, and even sceptics have dealt with for centuries. Several possible answers have been proposed, but each one seems to spark more questions. And we’re not going to be able to exhaustively answer that ...read more

    Over 31 million Americans are part of this exodus from the church, Samford said, citing a Barna Group study.

    Why Do We Dedicate Children And Baptize Adults?

    Contributed by Guy Glass on Mar 26, 2007
    based on 14 ratings
     | 13,320 views

    ... Child Dedication and Baptism also have their reasons. We dedicate children because Jesus blessed them and encouraged them to come to Him. Dedication is more than a promise between church and parent; it is a blessing on the life of the one being dedi

    WHY DO WE DEDICATE CHILDREN AND BAPTIZE ADULTS? Various Scriptures INTRODUCTION: I would hazard to think that we all have stories about why we do some of the things we do.

    Messages discusses how and why we need to guard our eyes in today's culture.

    The key to surviving temptation involves guarding our eyes with all diligence. In Matthew 18:9, Jesus said if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out! Seems rather drastic but it makes the point. No we are not saying pluck out your eyes but we are saying do what's necessary to avoid/shun evil. You ...read more

     | 9,766 views

    This question needs to be reversed if we are to find an answer.

    Why do bad things happen to good people? Why suffering? 9/11 Katrina, friends going through extremely difficult times. Why would God allow this? What benefit is evil and suffering? What is the point? God does not exist for our human happiness. God exists because God exists. We’re funny as ...read more

    Easter sermon. The great news that Jesus rose from the dead has the potential to change our plans, our outlook on life, and our hope for the future.

    They’re looking for “life” on Mars. Why? I guess it would be interesting just to find out if it’s there or not. The Brits launched Beagle 2 a few years back. They’re not sure what happened with it. That would have been a sure bet. I figure, about 2 days after ...read more

    Ask yourself two profound questions: Why did God kill Mahlon for marrying Ruth? Why didn’t God kill Boaz for marrying Ruth? It took two husbands to bring God’s grace to Ruth. Jesus is both the Son of Man and the Son of God!

     | 7,093 views

    The disciples asked Jesus why he spoke in parables. A parable is like an allegory or a fable-a practical story that illustrates a moral or spiritual concept. Jesus hadn’t used parables to this extent before now. Let's find out why he used parables.

    Why The Church Should Never Stop Giving Hope

    Contributed by Ronald Amaya on Jul 5, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,472 views

    The Bible has a very different perspective on hope – it is not the kind of hope we see in the dictionary. While the dictionary definition of hope makes it sound like leaving things to fate, the hope of the Bible is a powerful force and a raw material for faith.

    You can never give people too much hope. Hope is what gives people the faith to push through hard times. Hope is what makes people hold on when they are on the verge of throwing in the towel. Hope for a better tomorrow is what makes a teen push away those lingering suicidal thoughts. Hope is a ...read more
