Perhaps that is too bold of a claim. After all, the Psalmist reminds us that “The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1) and Paul argues that God’s “eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made” (Romans 1:20). Indeed, this is true now more than ever: we know the universe had a begin
When Christ encountered the temptations of Satan in the wilderness, He was merely participating in the physical manifestation of an invisible conflict which has raged unabated throughout the universe for the past 6,000 years. This was (and is) a conflict between the government of God and the rebellion of Satan, between two competing world-views vyi
Reason According to the prophet Isaiah, God calls us to “Come now, and let us reason together” (Isaiah 1:18). Christ “expounded” (explained or reasoned) with the two disciples about the prophecies of the Messiah on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:27). And Paul frequently went into the synagogues to “reason” with the Jews on the Sabbath day (Acts 18:4,
The story illustrates the principle of Sola Scriptura like no other. A single, solitary monk stands against the arrayed prestige of both religious and civil leaders of his world—including representatives of the Pope and the person of the Holy Roman Emperor himself. This monk—arguably the most influential figure of the last thousand years—has
Throughout the years, my mindset in relation to the Sabbath has shifted significantly; I have transitioned from being someone who didn't always observe the Sabbath to someone who does. The thing that was missing for me was my understanding of what the Sabbath meant. Was it on the first day? Was it about rituals? In terms of behavior and activities,
I’ve noticed something. In both the halls of the university and the corridors of the church, doubt in the existence of God isn’t the most common issue I have run into. Rather, it is doubt in the goodness of God. Constantly bombarded with the world’s pain, we began to develop a theology: God is distant. God must not really care about us. God
Over the past 6,000 years, the great controversy between Christ and Satan has been fought with one supreme objective in mind: the allegiance of all created beings. However, because all intelligent beings were created by God as free moral agents, one’s allegiance is fundamentally determined by who they trust. This article will therefore explore the
Traveling at impressive 64,000 km/h, the space probe Voyager 1 was launched into space 26 years ago to explore the planets of our solar system. After passing by Jupiter and Saturn, completing its initial mission, the probe prepared itself to leave the solar system. As it approached the 6 billion kilometer mark from Earth, Carl Sagan, the famous Cor
I grew up Adventist my whole life. Pathfinders, deacon as a teenager and young adult, Sabbath school leader. The whole nine yards. And I had an amazing experience. All of my closest friends are still Adventist, and most of them have no idea that I am now an atheist. So how did I go from a deeply committed, born-again and baptized Seventh-day Advent
Prophecy 101 - Daniel Chapter 2 Because this article is only intended to be a brief introduction to Biblical prophecy in apologetics, it is far outside the present scope to cover the topic of Biblical prophecy in its entirety, a task which would require hundreds of pages. We will, however, briefly discuss chapters 2 and 7 of Daniel, as well as poin
