The Exciting Christian Life of John C. Lennox – An Interview with the Author on His New Book
Body
“Reading John C. Lennox’s book My Story: A Spiritual and Intellectual Autobiography provides plenty of evidence that the Christian life isn’t boring. Lennox is emeritus professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford and emeritus fellow in mathematics and the philosophy of science at Green Templeton College. He’s also had an incredibly exciting life.” - TGC
The Two Kinds of Atheism
Body
“Drawing both on Beha’s book and his own experience, Brooks identifies two different kinds of atheism and shows why both are inadequate: Materialistic atheism and Romantic atheism.” - Gene Vieth
When Is War Justified?
Body
“Individuals don’t go to war. Nations do. But simply because a nation has the God-given authority to bear the sword doesn’t mean that it is always justified to engage in conflict. This power is not unlimited.” - Daniel Darling

Author’s Note: The following account is fictional, but based on a composite of numerous historical facts.

Could your faith survive “Disclosure Day”?
Body
“While this is a science fiction scenario, and at least as far as the mainstream public goes, there is no indisputable evidence of aliens on Earth, this is an interesting question for Christians to raise.

Why Creation Matters, Part 4: The Sabbath
Read the series.
Moses gives us one more application of Creation that I’d like to note. One of the Ten Commandments, the fourth, makes a direct reference to the creation as a basis for application to how we live. I note that two of the commandments—the second and the fourth—receive considerably more column inches than the others. (Not that any of the ten are “less” important than the others, of course.) The second, which forbids graven images, protects the holiness of God; since God is unlike any of his creatures, to make an image of him is to represent him as less than he actually is.
Creation Speaks: Natural Law, Psalm 19, and the Recovery of Moral Theology for Evangelical Political Thought
Body
“For most of the Christian tradition—including the Reformed tradition—natural law was simply taken for granted as a moral theory. It was situated within the doctrine of creation, and it was assumed in the works of Luther, Calvin, the Reformed Orthodox, and the broader tradition of Reformed Scholasticism.” - 9 Marks
Did the Father Really Forsake the Son?
Body
“The cry of dereliction is one of the deepest and most controversial verses in the Scriptures. What does it mean? And what happened to the Trinity at the cry?” - TGC
Revelation 6
This is a series of short expositions of Revelation 4-22 from a futurist perspective. Follow along with a timeline here.
In Revelation 6, the apostle John shows us the first six divine seal-judgments in rapid succession. He handles them in barely a few sentences each. While these first six judgments are terrible, the Lord seems to save his powder for the seventh and final act of vengeance—an event which runs from Revelation 8-18.
