Imagine a world where we’re born neutral—free to choose good, and without a bias toward evil. Sounds appealing… until we turn on the news. Or look in the mirror. The universal presence of evil, from playground bullying to genocide, from white lies to war crimes, demands an explanation. Alibis such as “bad choices” or “poor…
WHY BERTRAND RUSSELL GOT CHRISTIANITY WRONG Bertrand Russell’s famous claim still echoes through sceptical discourse today. In his 1927 essay Why I Am Not a Christian, the famous philosopher said religion is “based primarily and mainly upon fear—fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death.” For many modern readers, Russell’s claim still settles…
Come October, and Christian families face a recurring dilemma. The doorbell rings, costumed children appear, and we ask ourselves: are we being faithful or just fearful? Do we participate, abstain, or find some middle ground? This isn’t a question of personal preference—it’s a matter of biblical discernment. Let’s examine what Scripture and the Reformed tradition…
Picture a courtroom scene: a priest stands before the throne of God, clothed in filthy, excrement-stained garments. At his right hand, Satan hurls accusations. The priest has no defence, no excuse, no righteousness of his own. Then suddenly, the Judge speaks—not condemnation, but a command: “Remove the filthy garments from him.” What follows is one…
Ever watched a sunset and felt something stir in your soul? Or created something beautiful just for the joy of it? Or felt that inner voice telling you what’s right, even when no one’s watching? These moments reveal something profound: we’re unlike any other creature on earth. Yes, we share certain traits with animals. We…
When the Apostle Paul wrote, “Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed” (1 Corinthians 5:7), he wasn’t making a poetic comparison. He was unveiling a divine pattern woven through Scripture—one that spans 15 centuries and reveals God’s redemptive plan with stunning clarity. The Passover lamb was never merely a historical detail. It was prophetic, designed…
“Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him” (John 3:14-15). These words from Jesus point us back to a dramatic moment in Israel’s history—one that was always meant to help us see the cross….
When God commanded Noah to build an ark, He wasn’t merely orchestrating a rescue operation for one righteous family. He was painting a vivid portrait of salvation that would find its ultimate fulfilment thousands of years later in Jesus Christ. As Jesus Himself declared, all Scripture testifies about Him (John 5:39), and the flood narrative…
When you read through the list of Israel’s tribes in Revelation 7:4-8, something immediately strikes you as odd. The tribe of Dan is missing. One of the original 12 tribes—gone. In its place, we find both Joseph and his son Manasseh listed separately. Judah appears first instead of Reuben. What’s more, Levi, traditionally excluded from…
**This post is part of our series “Satan’s Lies: Common Deceptions in the Church Today.”** We hear it all the time: “All religions are just different paths up the same mountain.” Perhaps we’ve even felt its appeal. In an age that prizes tolerance above truth, this sounds like the ultimate act of compassion—affirming everyone’s spiritual…
