Can Prayer Change God’s Will?
This is a complicated question. If, as Christians, we believe God’s will is perfect, then why would we want to change it, and isn’t it presumptuous to think that we could? “As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him” (Psalm 18:30). Besides, we serve a God who does not change (Malachi 3:6), and the Bible tells us that “Jesus Christ is the same...

“Hell is a place of total, conscious, eternal separation from the blessings of God,” Bryan Chapell, president of Covenant Theological Seminary, said in the video below. “And there’s a sense in which hell is people getting exactly what they want.” In that if a person rejects God all throughout life, never submitting to him in repentance, then the person will enter eternity after death without ...

What Is the Apocrypha? Are Apocryphal Books Really Scripture?
The word “apocrypha” comes from the Greek word meaning “hidden” or “secret.” Originally, the term was reserved for books with content considered too sacred and grand to make accessible to the general public. Over time, “apocrypha” took on a more negative connotation, due to the questionable origins and doubtful canonicity of these books. Those who don’t accept t...

Accident or Intelligent Design?
Accident or Intelligent Design? Science and the Origin of Life The debate over human origins has intensified, hitting the mainstream media like a tsunami. The debate is really about God, and whether or not our origins are explainable without him. Atheists such as Richard Dawkins are attempting to prove that science and belief in God are incompatible. Their premise is that the material world is all...
What Is the Significance of Trees in the Bible? Why Did Jesus Die on a Tree?
The Romans had many ways to kill people. Stabbing, stoning, burning, drowning, being torn apart by lions in the Coliseum for sport—these were all accepted means of execution. But Jesus was killed on the Cross, a tree stripped of roots and branches. As a Christian, I believe that nothing that happens in the Bible is by accident. So why did God choose to have Jesus executed on a tree? Be...
