Miracles, as recorded in Scripture and those that occur today, are significant to the life and practice of believers because they humble us practically, focus us apologetically, and embolden us prayerfully.
Read more "What Do We Do About Miracles?"The Bible tells us that Jesus loves us. But the Bible is a really big book! The one sitting in front of me has 1,316 pages, each of which has two columns of words in small type. The Bible is also a really complicated book – it’s actually 66 books, written by over two dozen authors, over thousands of years, in multiple languages. We believe that God has given us this book as his true word, but how do you begin to make sense of a book like this?
Read more "Promises, Patterns, and Harmony"God on the Brain: What Cognitive Science Does (and Does Not) Tell Us about Faith, Human Nature, and the Divine by Bradley L. Sickler Do the advances of neuroscience eliminate the need for the idea of a human soul? Sickler attempts to answer this and other questions by showing that “the soul is a basic, […]
Read more "First Thoughts: God on the Brain"First of all, this was not written in response to the unrest surrounding George Floyd’s death and the unrest that has occurred in its aftermath.

But, the vast majority agrees that the Allied forces fought for a more moral cause than the authoritarian, genocidal Nazi regime and the Axis powers. But did you know how close we were to […]
Read more "A Game of Inches"That’s how things were on the way back home from college. With Columbia and the fall semester in my rearview mirror, I was finally free! Or so I thought. My pickup truck, already loaded down with clothes and packed for the break, was not getting along with me at all. The dashboard was lit up […]
Read more "A Flat Tire, No Gas, and a little hope"First of all, I don’t want to sound like I’m taking myself too seriously. This is a manuscript of a speech; many of the ideas I spoke about tonight came straight from the pages of C.S. Lewis and Ravi Zacharias. I’m posting this because I think God is the source of truth, not because I […]
Read more "Hope in Pitiless Indifference"24 Days Ago, when I started to come up with expectations for what I thought my summer would be like, I most certainly did not imagine that I’d be packaging soap in a factory for thirty-two hours every week. I had no idea that I’d be sitting in a worn-out booth in a bare-bones mall […]
Read more "Soft, Manly Hands."When it comes down to it, there’s only one thing that really matters, and I’d be incredibly selfish if I didn’t share it with you. Last Wednesday, a guy named Alex Dowell from UC Boulder spoke some serious truth.
