“Like a Child” (Ep144)
In Mark 10:15, Jesus says that anyone “who does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” This text has been misunderstood in different ways through the years since Jesus has…

Hate (Ep142)
While the Bible acknowledges that anger can sometimes be righteous—specifically when its target is evil and injustice—hatred is generally forbidden. Jesus calls his people to do good to their enemies…
Is Christian Faith “Subjective”? (Ep141)
Unbelievers sometimes critique Christian faith for being subjective—based on unprovable personal opinions. In response, some Christians have tried to argue that their beliefs are actually objective…
When Church Leaders Fall (Ep140)
The level of damage a Christian leader’s moral failure causes is almost incalculable. Because much of a pastor’s ministry is explaining God’s Word to his congregation, his words necessarily begin to…
“How Can I Believe in a Violent God?” (Ep139)
Finding it difficult to believe in a God who orders the destruction of human life is not a new phenomenon. Many have found it hard to square what the Bible says about God’s love with what it says…
Can I Lose My Salvation? (Ep138)
Many biblical texts teach that Jesus gives his people “eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.” But the Bible also warns Christians of the possibility of…

Grief at Christmas (Ep133)
Those who have not grieved deeply are often disturbed during the holidays by those who have, since the latter sometimes seem to refuse to participate in the jollity of the season. This notion—that…
The Virgin Birth (Ep132)

Do Muslims Want to Kill Non-Muslims? (Ep131)

The Existence of God (Ep127)
