BY MATT NOBLE: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by grace you have been saved” Ephesians 2:4-5 I was once told a story about a man who had died in the early 1900s and because of his size, 6’10”, they were unable to fit him into a casket; he was simply too big. Therefore, they bound…
BY DR. JOE ALLOTTA: You must be a thought-filled person. (Not thoughtful) for you to click on a blog with this title proves you are smarter than at least half the people you know, so congrats on that. I tend to put theologies in 3 categories; the Rock-Solids, the Lean This Ways, and the No Ideas. The Rock-Solids are things like the Deity of Christ, that God created the world, or that all human beings are sinners. The Lean this…
The God of the Second Chance BY ERIC BARGERHUFF: “But go, tell his disciples and Peter, He is going ahead of you in Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” (Mark 16:7, NIV, emphasis mine) When I was a young lad growing up in Indiana, I was fascinated with the greatest piece of racing equipment known to man-the Big Wheel. Yes, most of us kids in the neighborhood had Big Wheels, and we loved to pretend…
HISTORY AND PURPOSE The C.S. Lewis Society was organized by Princeton University students in 1975, as a guest-speaker forum for the campus community to hear Christian scholars articulate a biblical perspective on topics of wide public concern. After years of fruitful ministry, the Society was re-launched on the campus of Trinity College of Florida in 1988 as a fellowship of those committed to explaining and defending the Christian faith internationally. Our outreach has focused especially on university campuses and nations…
BY BURK PARSONS: I have journeyed through the land of Narnia. Nearly ten years ago, I had the privilege to stay at Rathvinden House, located in the beautiful rolling-green countryside of County Carlow, Ireland. At that time, the Rathvinden estate was owned and operated by Douglas Gresham, the stepson of C.S. Lewis. Late one afternoon, as I was walking on the grounds of the estate with a friend, we came across a lush, green pasture that was simply breathtaking. As…
BY DR. SHANNON HOGAN AND ALTON SHADY: Proverbs 11:24 states, “One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.” The implications of this verse have eternal remunerations that do not come in the form of dollars and cents, yet pays more than your hard work ever could. Solomon’s discourse does not suggest one should give of their financial wealth. Many consider giving in Scripture to be simply money or finances; however,…
BY MATT NOBLE: “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” Psalm 19:1 Some time ago I heard a pastor speaking about the size of our galaxy. It is incredible. We know that the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. Not per hour, but per second. That is fast! To travel from one side of our galaxy to the other side of our galaxy would take 100,000 years traveling at the speed…
BY BURK PARSONS: A few years ago I heard a sermon by the eminent Swiss theologian Dr. Roger Nicole. Prior to the sermon, I read the bulletin for the service which noted Dr. Nicole’s sermon title. I recall that I became somewhat agitated when I read the title: “Lord, No.” I remember thinking: “What sort of title is that?” I soon realized, however, that the title was intentionally ambiguous. To say “Lord” conveys supremacy, and to say “no” conveys disapproval…
Rediscovering Joy BY DR. DENNIS COX “Joy is the feeling of grinning inside.” Melba Colgrove Joy always feels natural. It comes on easily but only under unusually wonderful circumstances. Like love, joy is something everyone wants but no one can hoard. It must be discovered but looking for it is useless. You don’t find it. It finds you. You set the table and it comes for dinner; uninvited and welcome. There are many ways to prepare for joy and all…
Is God For Us? BY: Dr. Stuart Parsons Your Question Brings Honor to God I assist the ministry GotQuestions.org by answering questions that readers pose. A man in Europe recently asked, In Rom 8:31, “if God be for us,” is the proper translation “since God be for us”? The answer to this question helps us think about approaches to biblical translation. Even more importantly, it helps us think about God’s inexpressible love and grace. I hope that you enjoy…
