Quote of the day

It should not be forgotten in this connection that the minister's duty is increasingly that of an apologist for Christianity. The general level of education is much higher than it has ever been. Many young people hear of evolution in the high schools and in the college where their fathers never heard of it except as far as a distant something. If the minister would be able to help his young people, he must be a good apologete, and he cannot be a good apologete unless he is a good systematic theologian

How can we know beyond reasonable doubt that the Bible is the Word of God? | Blog discussions #1

One of the pivotal assertions of the Bible is its proclamation to be "God-breathed". While various religious texts across cultures and faiths claim divine inspiration, the Bible's unique nature is found not just in this claim but in its content, consistency, and the worldview it encapsulates. Unlike most philosophical writings, shaped largely by human reason and its inherent limitations, the Bible presents itself as not merely containing truths but being the very Word of God (i.e., the text of the Bible is God-breathed). The challenge isn't in accepting that the Bible claims to be divine, as many texts do, but in discerning the inherent authority and truthfulness behind such a claim.

Christianity and post-modernism (LGBTQ) | @apologeticscentral

How should Christians respond to the LGBTQ revolution? Well, we should first understand what it is and where it comes from. Kneejerk reactions and oversimplification won't help us in the culture battle. Let's see what post-modernism (the worldview underlying LGBTQ-ism) is, and how to see it in relation to the Christian worldview.
