#1298: What to say to “I believe in science”? | Luke 7 | Job 36-37

So what do you say if someone says to you, “See, there’s an example of things that science now explains. I don’t need a God, because I believe in science, and someday we’ll be able to explain the other stuff we can’t explain today”?

#1278: Why did Jesus have to become human? | Hebrews 2 | Nehemiah 8-9

The uniqueness of Christianity -- and its claim that Jesus is the only way to the Father and Heaven -- necessarily includes Him being fully human. The writer of Hebrews tells us why.

#1257: What’s the big deal about 70AD? | Mark 13 | Daniel 6 | Proverbs 10:29-11:2

Why is 70AD an important date? It's more than just the date the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed -- it also set in motion events that are a powerful part of why you can have confidence in your Bible.

#1255: Why do Jesus’ predications of his own death matter? | Mark 10:32-11:33 | Daniel 4 | Proverbs 10:29

The book of Mark records Jesus predicting his own death and resurrection three times, but why does that matter to you? Today in our bottom line segment I don’t just want to answer the question, but promise you one nugget that will help you share your story more effectively.

#1223: What do you mean by that? | 1 John 3:11-4:6 | Ezekiel 9-11

Last week in the book of John we talked about his exhortation to “test the spirits.” Today in 1 John we actually get to the place that he wrote that.

Today I’m going to teach you a four dollar word, and I don’t actually care if you remember it. What I do hope is to help you sharpen your ear when you’re in dialogue with people. So sit tight, and we’ll answer today’s focus question: What is an “a priori” objection?

#1161: What is Biblical wisdom? | 1 Corinthians 2 | Isaiah 36-37 | Psalm 118 |

We often think of wisdom in kinda abstract terms, but it’s ultimately practical…wisdom is skill for living. Now lest you think — and rightfully so — that that could be how you might think about it in a secular sense, that’s exactly why we have focus questions here. So today as we knock down a short 1 Co 2, keep an ear out — and we’ll wrap up the day by highlighting a key distinction that’s worth remembering.

You are having a conversation with a friend, somehow end up on the topic of the Bible, and your friend says, “But all we have are copies of copies copies, AND there are a zillion errors in it.” What do you say?
