Spiritual Answers For The Real World
During the ministry of Jesus on earth, he showcased eternity as the stage of spiritual reality. Jesus said that his purpose of coming into the natural world, and his subsequent death and resurrection, was to provide a way for human beings to have eternal life. This message makes the issue of eternity critical; if there [...]
During my agnostic years, most of my doubt about the existence of God and the resurrection of Jesus Christ was based on “scientific” information I had been exposed to. It involved believing that man had evolved from the primordial ooze and that everything we see in the natural world must have a natural explanation. However, [...]
During my agnostic years I objected to the idea that unless I believed a certain thing, God, without hesitation, would reject me and blow me straight to hell where I would twist and burn for eternity. My attitude about a God who would do something like that was very negative to say the least. I [...]
The crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus are the foundation of the Christian faith and the theology of God living in us. If there was no resurrection, then Jesus was simply a man who lived and died just like every other man. If Jesus does not live today, there is no resurrected life to indwell [...]

Since science has determined that the natural universe had a [...]
I’ve received some feedback about the length of my blog posts this past week, so I thought I’d explain a little about what’s going on here.

It has been supposed that Jesus only appeared to be dead. It has been supposed that the witnesses suffered hallucinations. It has been supposed that the body was [...]
Encounter on the Road One of Jesus’ Apostles demonstrated a transformation in his life that is incomprehensible unless a literal, historical resurrection can be accepted as fact. Without such an event, the life of this man makes no sense. The man was Saul of Tarsus. He became the Apostle Paul, author of approximately thirty-percent of [...]
A simple way for the Jewish leaders to discredit the Christian movement would have been to produce the corpse of Jesus. Why was the corpse never produced? I am unable to believe that no serious attempts were made to find the body.
I normally do not focus on things until they happen, or until I have a reasonable expectation that they might happen. Because of this, it is obvious to me that the first element of proof for the resurrection of Jesus was that it is reported as an historical event. It must be considered and discussed [...]
As a child, I accepted the truth of Bible stories in the same way I believed in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Adam and Eve, Noah and the great flood, Moses and the Ten Commandments, David and Goliath, and the resurrection of Jesus were all familiar stories I learned in Sunday school. With respect [...]
