The question of whether Jesus Christ is truly God has divided Christians for centuries. While orthodox Christianity has consistently affirmed Jesus is both fully God and fully man, Unitarian theology argues Jesus, though special, is merely a created being—not the eternal God Himself. This isn’t merely an academic debate. The stakes couldn’t be higher: if…
Is God ever surprised by anything that happens? When nations rise and fall, when disasters strike, when we make our next decision—does any of it catch the Almighty off guard? This isn’t just a philosophical puzzle. How we answer this question shapes everything: our prayers, our peace in suffering, our confidence in God’s promises, and…
When John the Baptist declared, “He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire” (Matthew 3:11), his words carried the weight of both a promise and a warning. But what exactly did John mean by this “baptism of fire”? This question profoundly affects our understanding of salvation and the Holy Spirit’s work. Some interpret…
If God chooses some for salvation and not others, isn’t that unfair and arbitrary? This question strikes at the heart of one of Christianity’s most challenging doctrines. For most believers, the idea of divine election feels uncomfortable: is God playing cosmic favourites with eternal destinies? Is this really what Scripture teaches? Does God’s sovereignty in…
What if everything you believed about hell was designed to make you comfortable with sin? Annihilationism—the belief that the unrighteous are ultimately destroyed and cease to exist rather than enduring eternal conscious punishment—has gained significant traction in evangelical circles. Proponents argue a loving God wouldn’t torment people forever, and that annihilation better reflects divine justice….
In the span of just six verses (Matthew 16:13-28), Peter goes from receiving the highest praise from Jesus to getting a harsh rebuke. One moment he’s blessed as the “rock” upon which Christ will build His church, the next he’s called “Satan” and told to get behind Jesus. The jarring transition has puzzled readers for…
It’s late in the night, and you’re staring at the ceiling again. The question that haunts so many Christians echoes in your mind: Am I really saved? Maybe you’ve struggled with sin lately, or your prayers feel like they’re bouncing off the ceiling, or you just don’t feel as close to God as you used…
We’ve been there before. The weight of conviction sinks in as we realise we’ve fallen into the same sin. All over again. Maybe it’s that flash of rage that escapes us before we can catch it. Or the harsh words that spilled out despite our morning prayers for self-control. Or perhaps the lustful thought we…
Picture the scene: an aged patriarch, dying in Egypt, gathers his 12 sons around his bed. What follows aren’t merely a father’s final words. They narrate a prophetic vision that was to shape the destiny of nations. In Genesis 49, Jacob’s blessing of Judah contains profound Messianic promises that Reformed theology has long recognised as…
WHY SCRIPTURE DEMANDS ABSOLUTE PRO-LIFE PRINCIPLES NT Wright is a respected Bible scholar. His work on Paul’s theology and the historical Jesus, for instance, has shaped evangelical thinking for decades. But on the issue of abortion, Wright has taken a position that contradicts the very Scriptures he has spent his life studying. Wright argues that…
