As a result, much discussion occurs within Christianity related to the nature of the creation account and the length of time over which God acted to create our world.

The Threat of Pedophilia
What’s next? So many changes have occurred in society that even a few years ago would have been unthinkable – a few are positive, many are negative – and one issue that is ‘unthinkable’ today may soon become the mainstream. A hint of this came from an unexpected source last week. The last thing youContinue reading “The Threat of Pedophilia”
The Reality of God
“The reality of God lays lightly on the American church.”— David Wells “Arise! Shine! Your light has come; the LORD’s glory has shone upon you. Though darkness covers the earth and gloom the nations, the LORD will shine upon you; God’s glory will appear over you.

‘Liberal’ or ‘Progressive’ Christians
Recently I had a protracted discussion, almost a debate, with a publisher about the label “liberal Christian.” He said almost nobody calls himself or herself a “liberal Christian.” The new term for the same thing is “progressive Christian.” I have been reading a LOT of liberal Christian theology lately—focusing mostly on 20th and 21st centuryContinue reading “‘Liberal’ or ‘Progressive’ Christians”

Kiss the Son
Last Saturday night, with great fanfare and razzamatazz, under tight security and the gaze of a television audience, twenty-two of Egypt’s Pharaohs were moved to their new home in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation. The eighteen kings and four queens—some of them the most famous of Egypt’s rulers, including Rameses II and Hatshepsut, oneContinue reading “Kiss the Son”
Feminine and Masculine
CharacterLikewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of goldContinue reading “Feminine and Masculine”
The Day of Small Things
Christians worship a big God with a big mission that will one day reach this whole big world. Yet for all of his bigness, our God has a remarkable love for the small. He sets his eye upon small people in small places during small moments (Psalm 33:18; Matthew 6:4). The Son of God, whoContinue reading “The Day of Small Things”
