Can We Trust The Gospels?

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 16, 2019

There has been a lot of argument about whether we can trust the gospels or not. Just how did they come to be written? Luke opens his gospel with a statement of how he did it. He did it right.

Probably most every one of us has been in on a conversation where one person says something that’s a bit hard to believe. The other person questions it. And the first person raises his hand, as if he is being sworn in to give testimony in court, and says ‘It’s the gospel truth!’ ‘It’s the ...read more

What Exactly Are You Doing In The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death Anyway?

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jan 31, 2014

Don’t Check Your Brain At The Door!

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 15, 2019

Christian faith is more rational than atheism because it recognizes the minute information we possess and the insuperable complexity and design of the universe and life forms. We rest our intellect on the intellect of God. What could be wiser?
