Speaking on Luke 9:28-43, Steven R. Martins challenges us to not settle for less when it concerns our knowledge of God. Peter thought he knew Jesus well enough, until he committed a fatal error at the Mount of Transfiguration.
Theotivity: Theology + Creativity recently interviewed Institute founder Steven R. Martins on their podcast. Listen to their conversation on a distinctly Christian view of philosophy and apologetics.
What is Apologetics? Far from what many perceive it as, it is not a discipline constrained to the evidential, factual, and historical, it extends well beyond that, proving to be all-encompassing in its scope.
What is apologetics? Whether you’re familiar with the term, somewhat acquainted with it, or altogether in the dark, apologetics is necessary to learn about and to continually review because of how vital it is to our Christian witness and living.
Joseph Boot’s “The Mission of God” is arguably one of the greatest philosophical-theological commentaries on public culture in the present century, and when unfair critiques are levelled against it, it is only fair to respond with the grace and truth of biblical wisdom.
What can we learn from the reign of King Josiah? In what ways does our daily worship expression to God need to be reformed?
How are we to understand Paul’s message at the Areopagus? What was his message to a religiously plural culture and how does his message relate to us today?
Some Christian authors attempt to deduce that the Flood account was an exaggeration, and that it was only an isolated flood that affected the valley of Mesopotamia. We have it quite clear, however, that the biblical text does not permit such suspicions.
A skeptic happens to ask you about the veracity of the account of the global deluge and the Ark of Noah, when all you want to do is just share the gospel. How would you respond?
We give thanks because God is near. He is not a God that is distant. He is not a God that is far off. He is not a God made of human hands.
