THE UGLY UNDERNEATH

THE UGLY UNDERNEATH

How many of us look in the bathroom mirror with honesty? I must confess that I use it less and less as I get older: I don't need the added stress. No amount of makeup or facelift work will hide what's taking place over time on the outside! However, the reflection I do need every day of my life; the one we all need; the one which would actually improve over time were we to apply ourselves to its betterment; the one we almost all fail to seek, is the kind in which we examine our hearts and compare it to the word of our God. What are we really like inside?

Identifying Truth Among the Cacophony of Ideas

Identifying Truth Among the Cacophony of Ideas

Has anyone not been asked the following rhetorical question: "How do you know your God is the right one?" In my experience this question - posed more as an accusation - is directed at Christians and never Muslims or Hindus or people of other faiths.

Who Jesus Is, According to the Bible

Who was, and who is, Jesus Christ? You can make him what you want him to be, or you can believe what the Bible says about him. Contrary to many dismissive claims, Scripture is clear about his nature and his personhood.

The Son of God According to Luke’s Gospel

The Son of God According to Luke’s Gospel

The works done by Jesus Christ during his life are enough evidence for the conviction that he was and is the Son of God. That is, God in flesh. No man has done or does legitimate and incredible miracles as he did in plain sight of all, and convincing enough to draw thousands without any advertising or television specials. No man spoke words such as he spoke or such profound truths, and for now we will ignore the empty claims of some in our time that Christianity "copied" words and claims from past spiritual giants.
