Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Cor. 5:17) The Apostle Paul had a robust theology of Christ’s union with the believer. This is something, argues Pastor Rankin Wilbourne in his...
Many Christians struggle with knowing how to react when skeptics begin to attack their faith — can you relate? As much as we heard in Sunday School “for the Bible tells me so,” there remains a large portion of the world unwilling to accept the Bible as evidence. Now,...
On yesterday’s podcast episode I discussed my approach to apologetics… For those who didn’t listen—briefly, I take what many call a presuppositional approach to apologetics, although I sort of despise the term for two reasons: It almost begs to be misconstrued (even...
This might sound a little silly for a Christian to say, but here goes: Lately, I’m becoming quite enamored with the life and ministry of Jesus. Understand something… I’ve been a Christian for very long time—but I believe a person’s love and understanding for Christ...
