Why is it important that God became man in the Incarnation? What does the Bible tell us about this important event?

Surveys show that many youth who grow up in the church will leave. Today we examine these surveys and present a powerful solution that is already making a difference.

Christ’s birth is one of the greatest events in all of history. Although the popular media and most educational institutions largely ridicule the biblical version of the Nativity, a fair-minded analysis paints a different picture. Foretold by Old Testament prophecies, supported by historical evidence, and logically feasible based on the existence of the God of the Bible, the Nativity is much more than just a nice story.

Human genetic engineering is no longer science fiction. The Christian community needs to understand the pros and cons of the issues involved so that we can develop informed responses to the upcoming moral and cultural challenges.

Whatever may have been the exact nature of this star at Christ’s birth, it did give perfect witness to its Creator, Christ. Therefore, key representatives of the world’s great Gentile nations came to fall down and worship the King of the Jews, knowing that one day every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ, the Creator and Redeemer, is Lord (Philippians 2:10,11).

A few people occasionally recalled the legendary Lost Squadron of 1942, but it was only in 1980 that anyone thought of a salvage mission. U.S. airplane dealer Patrick Epps told his friend, architect Richard Taylor, that the planes would be like new. “All we’d have to do is shovel the snow off the wings, fill them with gas, crank them up and fly them off into the sunset. Nothing to it.”

The star of Bethlehem and the wise men: separating true history from the legends.

Jesus pre-existed creation, and never came into existence because He existed eternally. It was through Him that all created things came into existence. This entails a plurality in the Godhead, which is taught even from Genesis, and this required our Creator to add human nature to His divine nature.

It is clear that there is one overall reason why birds have always been able to fly, and why man’s attempts have taken off only with the invention of flying planes. What is it? The birds got off to a flying start at the time of their creation. Flight, like birds, could not, and did not, evolve. It was created intact in the beginning.

We agree that for a lot of people who celebrate Christmas it has lost its meaning. But that does not in itself make it wrong. Most people in Western countries will celebrate Christmas and give each other gifts. What a great opportunity we have to explain the love of God for lost mankind. We say, Merry Christmas to you all and put the Christ back in Christmas.

As we enjoy all the good things about Christmas, we also need to remember that the ‘reason for the season’ is that Jesus came to Earth to be born, to live, and to die for the sins of the world, and then to rise again to give new life to all who put their faith and trust in Him.

Is there a difference between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament? How do we understand things like God commanding the extermination of the Amalekites and other judgments? And how does this all point to the Gospel?

The story of the ‘Kallikak’ family supposedly went back to an ancestor code-named ‘Martin Kallikak’, who as a young man had a relationship with a “feebleminded barmaid” that resulted in the birth of Martin Jr. Later, Martin married a “worthy Puritan woman”, and their union produced many productive people. But alas, the damage had been done, because Martin Jr, a drunkard and worthless individual, had many children, and those children were all morally and intellectually bankrupt.

The respiratory system has many distinctive design features, which show forth the providence of God. Even as we study it scientifically, the knowledge we gain should generate continual thanksgiving, so that we might join the psalmist in praising God along with ‘everything that has breath’ (Psalms 150:6).

Dinosaurs are set up as a giant challenge to the Christian that’s trying to hold onto biblical history and science at the same time. How do we answer the challenge?

Even if other universes could exist, and even if the laws of physics and chemistry in every single other universe did permit abiogenesis, this would do nothing to explain the existence of life in this universe. Do evolutionists really think that the enormous difficulties in ‘goo-to-you’ evolution stories will vanish simply because they claim that other universes exist?
