“‘The Story of Everything’ is a cinematic exploration of the cosmos that reveals the hidden hand behind our universe. From the precise laws that govern the stars to the intricate patterns found in every living cell, the film traces evidence of intentional design throughout nature. Whether examining distant star-forming clouds or the spiral structure of DNA, we discover a consistent signature woven into the fabric of existence.” -Fathom Entertainment. In theaters nationwide from April 30-May 6. Be sure to watch AND share the powerful 2-min. video at the link in the comments below.

“Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, President of the Christian Thinkers Society, joins us as we examine the Shroud of Turin. A former shroud skeptic, Jeremiah will walk us through some of the major Shroud evidence. Is the Shroud a medieval forgery, or is there evidence it is a burial cloth of a crucified man from the first century in Israel? Jeremiah will answer these questions and many more on this special extended edition of Digging for Truth.” -Associates for Biblical Research

Just to be clear, the Shroud is not necessary in order to make our case for the Resurrection. Even without it, we already have very compelling evidence for the crucifixion, death, burial, and Resurrection of Jesus as a real event in history. Nevertheless, it is worth looking into this topic, so be sure to watch AND share this fascinating interview, which you will find at the link in the comments below.

I have a challenge for each and every person who sees this post. If you are an atheist, agnostic, or skeptic, I invite you to watch this video with an open mind. If you are a Christian, I have a challenge for you as well. Many of you SAY you want to "Share Jesus," but you have never actually followed through with that. So, if you really mean it, here's your chance to do so and I couldn't have made it any easier for you. Stop right now and share this video with at least one other person in your life who does not know Jesus, and be sure to ask them to get back to you to share their thoughts on this after they’ve watched it.
In this excellent presentation, Christian apologist Sean McDowell does a great job of explaining for his listeners the evidence which supports the most important event in history- the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. I've provided a link to the video in the comments below.

“For Christians, Easter represents the climactic event in all of human history – the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Critics contend that it is a mythical story, based more on fiction than fact.” “Archaeology is one field of study that must be considered in determining whether the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, as recorded in the gospel accounts in the Bible, are actual historical events. Over the past 150 years, scholarly research has yielded much evidence for the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth. Excavations have confirmed many elements of the Christmas story, his ministry in Galilee and Judea, particularly in the Jewish synagogues, and the fact that the world in which Jesus lived has been so accurately described in the gospels. However, nowhere is the evidence so overwhelming as it is when one studies the details of the historical accounts of the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. Here is a brief summary of the archaeological evidence for Easter.”

Every once in a while, I encounter Christians who fail to see the value of adding apologetics resources to their personal Bible study, their small group, or their youth group. Some of them will try to justify their position by saying, “Apologetics is for those who are interested in that sort of thing. Besides, you can’t argue someone into the Kingdom of God.” In this short video, Lee Strobel and Dr. William Lane Craig discuss three reasons why apologetics resources not only address the “teen exodus problem” (i.e. why so many Christian youth end up walking away from Christianity), the tools of apologetics are crucial for effective evangelism in today’s culture where skepticism and unbelief are so prevalent.

Of those who object to our participation in the military campaign against Iran, some of them have a hatred for this president that runs so deep, they will never be willing to admit that the leadership in Iran had to be stopped. Others will object as the result of either being uninformed on this topic or because of misinformation. Neither is helpful. What IS helpful is to have a better understanding of Iran's leadership, the ideology that drives them, and what those precious Iranian people have had to endure over the past several decades under such an evil regime. In the following interview, host James Bolt and FDD Senior Advisor Miad Maleki discuss some of the disturbing details re: what life was like for Maleki, as someone who grew up under Iran’s oppressive regime and why most Iranians had given up hope. But what is even more crucial to understand in all of this is why it became necessary for someone to do whatever it takes to stop Iran.

Central to this conversation is understanding the ideology of Iran’s leadership and why it is impossible for anyone to make deals with or negotiate with such an ideology. Theirs is a belief system known as “Mahdism,” which is centered around the return of the 12th divinely ordained Shi’a imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi. They refer to him as the “Hidden Imam,” whom they believe to have been withdrawn into a miraculous state of hiddenness. But more importantly, they believe that they can somehow influence or usher in Mahdi’s return through apocalyptic events. Hence, they are ideologically driven to do whatever they can to make this come to pass. Based on that belief, the Iranian leadership sees itself as the military vehicle to make this happen by preparing that which is necessary for the 12th Imam to return.

Please watch AND share the interview at the link in the comments below. While I would encourage everyone to watch the entire interview, please do not miss time stamps 1:25- 5:05 and 40:45- 44:50 (re: the ideology that drives them) and 11:50 (re: what it was like being born and raised under this regime).

Atheists have often claimed that science has "buried God." However, as Dr. John Lennox brilliantly explains in his interview with Eric Metaxas, it is actually atheism that has been buried by science. This is only a 12-min video clip of a longer interview. But this video clip is packed with so many great points and illustrations by Dr. Lennox, you may need to listen to it more than once in order to make sure that you don't miss anything. At one point in the interview, Dr. Lennox says, "Atheism, followed to its logical conclusion, destroys rationality." C.S. Lewis explained why that is the case when he said the following: "Supposing there was no intelligence behind the universe, no creative mind. In that case, nobody designed my brain for the purpose of thinking. It is merely that when the atoms inside my skull happen, for physical or chemical reasons, to arrange themselves in a certain way, this gives me, as a by-product, the sensation I call thought. But, if so, how can I trust my own thinking to be true? It's like upsetting a milk jug and hoping that the way it splashes itself will give you a map of London. But if I can't trust my own thinking, of course I can't trust the arguments leading to Atheism, and therefore have no reason to be an Atheist, or anything else. Unless I believe in God, I cannot believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve in God." (C.S. Lewis, “The Case for Christianity,” pg. 32)

“While some insist pastors should not speak about political matters, Governor Beshear’s appeal to faith confirms what many pastors have said for years—that many cultural and social debates are, at their core, moral and spiritual issues. When faith is invoked to justify a moral position, Christians should carefully examine what kind of faith is being described.”
“Governor Beshear is right about one thing: much of Christianity can be summarized in the Golden Rule. Jesus did say the Law and the Prophets hang on two commandments—love God and love your neighbor. But the Lord knew human nature well enough to understand that we would be tempted to redefine love according to personal preference or cultural pressure.” -Author and Pastor, Bob Russell

Whenever I’m talking to someone who has serious doubts about the Bible (including young people raised in church and in a solid Christian home), I often ask them what, in particular, is the most difficult thing for them to believe in the Bible. More often than not, they will point to Genesis 7-8, the account of Noah, the Ark, and the Flood. I can certainly understand why, because the sheer magnitude of such an event is SO extraordinary, it is tempting to dismiss the whole account as nothing more than a “fairy tale.” However, the evidence from geology and the fossil record bear testimony to the Flood as a real, global event in earth’s history. Some of the most fascinating research related to this topic has taken place at Grand Canyon. With that in mind, I think that you will really enjoy the following playlist from "Is Genesis History?", which you will find at the link in the comments below.

“Trying to change someone’s mind without addressing their underlying worldview is like trying to cure a disease by treating only the symptoms. You might feel better in the moment, but no lasting change will occur. The same is true in the life of a Christian—if we don’t confront challenges at the worldview level, we’ll make little to no progress.”
“Francis Schaeffer recognized this mistake when he wrote: ‘The basic problem of the Christians in this country in the last eighty years or so, in regard to society and in regard to government, is that they have seen things in bits and pieces instead of totals…They have very gradually become disturbed over permissiveness, po*******hy, the public schools, the breakdown of the family, and finally abortion. But they have not seen this as a totality…due to a shift in world view—that is, through a fundamental change in the overall way people think and view the world and life as a whole.’”

“What we must understand is that these competing worldviews don’t just result in personal differences—they shape our entire culture, from morality to education, from law to government. And if our students don’t know how to identify and respond to false worldviews, they’ll be swept up in them.”
“That’s why parents and leaders must make worldview training a priority. If we want to raise a generation that stands strong in truth, we must equip them with the required knowledge for every young Christian living in today’s culture.”
“At this year’s Reality Student Apologetics Conference, we’ll do exactly that. We’ll help students connect the dots between the false ideas they encounter and the worldviews that drive them. When they understand the root, they’ll know how to stand firm—and even help change minds.”

At this time, progressive Christians and even unbelievers are trying to leverage Jesus in support of their cause. In his article titled, "The Legend of the Social Justice Jesus," Greg Koukl of Stand to Reason says the following: “I want to tell you a story of an ancient sage who changed the world. This wise man fought for justice, championing the cause of the poor and the oppressed. He rejected organized religion, showing tolerance—not judgment—for the outcast and the socially marginalized.”
“…That is the story, in sum. It’s a noble tale, to be sure. But it’s a falsehood, a fiction, an urban legend. Though the story is parroted like a mantra by multitudes—even echoed reflexively by otherwise sound spiritual leaders who ought to know better—no such Jesus ever existed. Rather, taken as a whole, this version of Jesus is just another example of another Jesus bringing another gospel like the ones the apostle Paul anathematized [condemned] to the Galatians.”
“The remaking of the Jewish Messiah from Nazareth into a progressive advocate of social justice is just the latest example of the tendency people have to fashion Christ in their own social/spiritual/political image.”
Please make it a priority to read AND share Koukl’s article, which you can find here:

Suppose someone said to you, “How can Christians say we have free will to choose God when we’re threatened with Hell if we don’t choose God?” In this short video, Greg Koul and Amy Hall of Stand to Reason do a great job of responding to this challenge. On a similar note, people will often falsely claim that God is basically saying, “Love me or else.” This is yet another misrepresentation of the situation. Instead, a more accurate description of the circumstances would be as follows: You and I are rebels against a Sovereign King and His Kingdom. Even though each one of us deserves to face His justice for our crimes against Him, He has graciously offered to pardon us and has even provided the means by which to do so. It is now up to each person to decide whether to receive His offer of pardon and forgiveness, or to reject it.
