…there is no forgiveness of sins (Heb. 9:22).
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life (Lev. 17:11).
Though Jews recently celebrated Yom Kippur, how are they able to find [...]

A great thought from Steve on evangelism and apologetics:
Many victims of fire die in their sleep–overcome by smoke inhalation. Oblivious to the fire. Oblivious to the peril. They don’t even know that they are dying–until it’s too late to flee the flames.
A Christian is like a sleeper in a burning apartment complex. God awakened him. [...]
International Blasphemy Day

Al Mohler has the story. He concludes by asking,
How should Christians respond?
First, take no offense. Refuse to play into the game plan of those sponsoring International Blasphemy Day. The Lord Jesus Christ was and is despised and rejected of men. Our Lord bore the scorn heaped upon him by his enemies. Christianity is not an [...]

I read Psalm 10 during my morning meditations today. Verses 3 and 4 were particularly interesting:
For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the Lord. In the pride of his face the wicked does not [...]

A short video by OT professor Tremper Longman III is causing quite a stir on the blogosphere (and rightly so) for his uncertainty as to whether Adam was a real historical figure or not. You can watch the video below, and after you watch it, head over to Dr. James Anderson’s (professor at RTS-Charlotte) blog [...]

Hebrews 1:3
…and He upholds the universe by the word of His power…
In his book, Redeeming Science, Vern Poythress begins with this provocative statement:
All scientists—including agnostics and atheists—believe in God. They have to in order to do their work. It may seem outrageous to include agnostics and atheists in this broad statement. But by their actions people sometimes show [...]
