The gospel is at the heart of the Christian faith. If Christians do not know how to share their faith, they have probably never been to “boot camp.” The gospel should be so much a part of you that presenting it becomes second nature. Here’s an easy way to do just that. The first step [...]

We Were Wrong!
The JOURNAL you hold in your hand features the culmination of a six·year research project respecting a movement originally founded by a Chinese Christian named Watchman Nee.

Was Jesus in Agony on the Cross, as per Mark, or not, as per Luke?
The day before Good Friday, on the Colbert Report, Bart Ehrman, the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, attempted to demonstrate that the gospels of Mark and Luke stand in hopeless contradiction to one another with respect to the death of Jesus. “For example,” says [...]

Social Action
Christianity, of all worldviews, strikes just the right balance concerning the existence of good and evil and our moral responses to both realities.

Exposing the Intellectual Bankruptcy of Atheism
Many Christians may have been shocked at Ben Stein’s 2008 documentary Expelled, which exposed the closed-mindedness of many university and post-graduate school leaders around America. The film documented how educators who dared question the theory of evolution had their tenure stripped and their jobs jeopardized.

Confronting the Spirit of the Age
The Internet has made it possible for anyone to reach a wide audience without having to go down traditional media avenues such as corporate publishers and movie theaters. In 2007, an online movie titled Zeitgeist (a German word that refers to the cultural climate or “spirit” of a given time period) exploded onto the Internet, [...]

An Apologetic of Horror
When one thinks of horror movies, the usual images conjured up in the mind are of nubile coeds being lured to isolated locations for the purpose of having sex and then being murdered and carved up in ever innovative and disgusting new ways by a grotesque chimera or phantasm.
