When we lose a loved one, the grief can be overwhelming. In those tender moments, many find themselves wondering: Should I pray for my departed loved ones? Can my prayers somehow help them in the afterlife? It’s a well-intentioned practice, born from genuine love and concern. But does it actually help? More importantly, does God…
WHY THE ARGUMENT ACTUALLY POINTS TO GOD Picture this: You’re in a coffee shop debate with a confident sceptic who leans back in her chair and delivers what she believes is the knockout punch: “Look, Occam’s Razor shows us that simpler explanations are better. Natural processes explain everything we see without needing to invoke…

Few Bible verses are quoted more often—or understood less accurately—than Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:1: “Judge not, that you be not judged.” These five words have become the go-to defence against moral critique, the ultimate conversation-ender when anyone dares suggest choices have consequences or that some ways of living might be better than others. But…
Even as England burned during the civil war in the 1640s, 151 of the era’s brightest theologians quietly gathered in Westminster Abbey’s Jerusalem Chamber to craft what would become one of Christianity’s most enduring and influential theological statements. The Westminster Confession of Faith wasn’t born in ivory towers or secluded monasteries—it emerged from the chaos…
It’s a question that lurks in the back of every believer’s mind but rarely gets voiced in polite theological company: Is Satan actually stupid? For millennia, the fallen angel has persisted in his rebellion against an omnipotent God, seemingly oblivious to the mathematical impossibility of his plans to succeed. He’s had minor victories—deceiving nations, corrupting…
SCEPTICS ASK: WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE ‘DIFFICULT’ TEXTS? “If the Bible is so clear,” the sceptic challenges, “why do scholars spend lifetimes debating what it means? Why are there so many passages that even experts find difficult to understand?” It’s a fair question that strikes at the heart of the Reformed doctrine of Scripture’s perspicuity—its…
When Jesus walked among us, He claimed two remarkable titles that have puzzled and inspired believers for two millennia: Son of God and Son of Man. To modern ears, the title may sound contradictory—how can someone be both divine and human? Yet the titles, far from being theological riddles, reveal the profound mystery at the…
WAS PAUL INVENTING SOMETHING NEW OR REVEALING SOMETHING ANCIENT? Picture this scene: You’re discussing faith with a thoughtful sceptic who challenges you directly. “Your Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone,” they say, “that’s just Paul’s invention. The Old Testament is all about law-keeping and works-righteousness. If justification by faith isn’t clearly taught before Paul,…
Every human heart carries an undeniable longing to know ultimate truth—to understand our place in the universe and the longing to connect with something greater than ourselves. This universal quest isn’t accidental; it reflects how our Creator has designed and programmed us. The God of Scripture hasn’t left us to stumble in darkness, wondering about…
