A Theology of Woman from Genesis 2-3: Design, Desire, and Deliverance
Whenever our family watches a movie, my husband or I often pause the movie to discuss ungodly behavior that is being normalized or at least unaddressed in the movie’s storyline. Just the other day, my husband paused a movie to explain that the way the mom and dad interacted with each other was not right—the…
Read MoreA Theology of Woman from Genesis 1-2: Reflecting God’s Image, Bringing Companionship, and Helping Her Husband
This blog series is adapted from Sunday School lessons I wrote several years ago for women and teen girls. The goal was to form a “theology of woman” by looking chronologically at all of the major portions of Scripture regarding women and womanhood. What does the Bible say are the roles, duties, challenges, and opportunities…
Read MoreWe Thought We “Hung the Moon”
My kids’ history and science lessons recently coincided to study the landing of the first man on the Moon on July 20, 1969. It was fascinating to again read about and then re-watch Neil Armstrong’s first “small step for man,” and “giant leap for mankind.” Armstrong’s famous first footprint in the fine dust of the…
Read MoreThe Hearing Ear, The Seeing Eye
“The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD has made even both of them.” Proverbs 20:12 The Ear that Hears For a few moments, let’s ponder the wonders of a human ear that hears. The outside of your ear is called the “auricle.” It resembles the bell on a tuba or euphonium. Those musical…
Read More1 Corinthians 15:20–50: Adam Is Dead
Years ago the God-Is-Dead Movement began. This theological position did not argue that God had died; it was more the idea that man had created God (or gods) in the past, and now we had become intelligent and sophisticated enough that we no longer need a god. Similarly, and sadly, for some segments of Evangelicalism,…
Read MoreThe Fundamentals: Creation and Its Implications
FrontLine: May/June 2020 | VOLUME 30 | NUMBER 3 When Darwin’s theory of evolution appeared during the latter half of the nineteenth century, American Christians were not prepared to respond. Theological liberals, having already abandoned their commitment to Scripture, quickly adopted the new theory. Some conservatives also thought that perhaps the biblical language of Creation…
Read MoreA Problem with Old Earth Intelligent Design
I first encountered Janos, a Hungarian Jew, at Living Water Baptist Church in Budapest. He is a professed atheist. His mother survived Auschwitz, and I suspect that his family history has a lot to do with his rejection of God. His confusion may in part be due to a failure to take the first three…
Read MoreMeditations on Creation
Earlier this summer, John Mincy began a series of meditations on the Bible, posted via his Facebook page. He shares them with us for your edification. For this post, I am leaving the format as daily journal entries for you to get a sense of the flow of thought brother Mincy offers us. We hope…
Read MoreGod’s Glory in the Created World
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is FULL of the goodness of the LORD (Psalm 33:5). The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth His handiwork (Psalm 19:1). I recognize fully that immorality, violence, pain, tragedy, deception, ugliness, and all kinds of evil fill our world. Yet, as you open your…
Read MoreThree Powerful Reasons to Believe in a Literal Six Solar Day Creation
Matt Recker Scripture consistently declares that the all-wise, all-powerful and eternal God in the past created, suddenly and supernaturally, instantaneously and out of pre-existing materials (ex nihilo) the universe as it now is in six solar days and rested on the seventh day. He culminated his creation on the 6th day by creating man in…
