How do dinosaurs fit into the Bible?
A common challenge is how do dinosaurs fit into the Bible. The best evidence is the Bible. God created man and land animals (which included dinosaurs) on day 6 of His creation. This means dinosaurs and people lived at the same time. Additional evidences include: Dinosaur soft tissue still with the bones Unfossilized dinosaur bones …

Should we really care if the earth is young or old?
Should Christians really care if the earth is young or old (billions of years)? A common claim by some church leaders is that the age of the earth does not matter. This claim however, demonstrates a lack of biblical knowledge. First: if the earth is old this means there would have been millions …

How should we interpret Genesis 1?
How should we interpret Genesis 1? In Genesis one 1. God explicitly chose the word day for time 2. In Genesis 1:5 God defined the length of the day as a light and dark cycle 3. God used a number with the word “day” which always means a day 4. God further defined each …

Do we need another Jeremiah?
Do we need another Jeremiah to warn America of impending judgement and to turn back to God’s Word? No, we don’t need another Jeremiah. God already gave us Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah and other prophets to warn us of what He will do to nations that abandon Him and His Word. Especially nations that call …

2 Timothy 2:2 Education Project
Did you know over 80% of Christian youth have doubts about the Bible? These doubts start in the early grades. We are losing the education battle for who controls what the next generation will believe. Many have already compromised God’s Word before they reach college. The world is out-educating the church.

Who Is Fighting for the Next Generation
by Mike Riddle Two statistics that should concern every pastor is that less than 5% of Christian youth have a biblical worldview and over 60% are leaving the church. Contributing to this problem is that we are allowing Hollywood to define what love, sex, marriage, and even gender, should be. In addition, the secular school …

Semper Fi
It is a wonderful time to be a Bible believing Christian. Not because it is getting easier, but because it is getting harder. We live in a country that has become more and more hostile to the Bible. This means the harvest is plenty and there are many opportunities to be a witness for Jesus …

The Case for Apologetics Examples from Jesus
If pastors want their congregation to be more Christ like, strengthen their faith in an age of doubt, and prepare young people to repel attacks on their worldview, then why don’t more pastors teach apologetics in their church? On numerous occasions Jesus practiced apologetics. – John 4:5-40 (The woman at the well) – Mat 21:24-27 …

NOT the Gospel
These statements are NOT the Gospel. The church needs to start teaching the whole Gospel which starts in the first three chapters of Genesis: God’s perfect creation, God’s first warning, Adam and Eve’s sin (the Fall), why there is death and suffering, what we need to be saved from, why we need a Savior, and …

And God said, “that’s Very Good”!
Did you know adding millions of years into the Bible is an attack on the character of God and His Word? In Genesis 1:31 God calls everything He made “very good”. Adding millions of years would mean God called death, disease and struggle very good. However, Scripture teaches that death is an enemy (1 Cor …

Secular thinking
Secular thinking (evolutionism and moral relativism) creates many challenges for youth ministry. Are the youth in your church being taught how to answer the following 11 challenges? How can the first chapter of Genesis be true if evolution is a fact? How can we call God good when He allows so much suffering? How can …

Not Far Away
“If it is a religious position to say, ‘Jesus is Lord of all, and by Him and through Him all things exist,’ is it not also a religious position to say – in so many words, or lack thereof – ‘Christ and the Bible are irrelevant to our discussion of biology, physics and math?’” Christian …

What does God want us to know in Genesis 1?
1. He is the Creator 2. He is sovereign over His creation 3. He gives us the specific order of His creation 4. He gives us how long creation took (6 literal days) 5. He tells us how He created (He spoke everything into existence) With this information we can rule out all secular ideas …

“And God said”
Some “Christians” claim the Bible does not say how God created, therefore, He could have used the big bang. This claim is an attack on the character of God and His Word. The Bible clearly states how God created. Multiple times Scripture teaches that God spoke everything into existence by His great power (Word). Genesis …

Man’s Opinion or Truth
What is driving the controversy about biblical creation? It is not just non-believers who promote evolutionism. It is also those in the church who refuse to believe the plain reading of God’s Word in Genesis. If Genesis 1 does not mean what it states, then when does the Bible mean what it states and how …

Foundational first 11 chapters of the Bible
As Christians we are looking upon a new year. Any New Year’s resolutions we have should be made with the following Bible verse in mind: “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. (Proverbs 16:9).” Those steps are directed by His Word, which is a “lamp to my feet and …

The Word of God
We cannot win the battle by using our own wisdom because the battle is a spiritual battle (2 Cor 10:3-4). Our best weapon against the teaching of evolution, all false doctrines and false religions is the Word of God and not our knowledge of science or philosophy. Scripture must be our standard. It is a …
