It was on Friday of Redemption Weekend nearly 2000 years ago that Jesus Christ offered His life on a cross to pay God’s just death penalty for sin that each of deserves to pay. God’s Word says that forgiveness of sin and eternal life in heaven is available to all who would repent and believe in the person and work of Jesus Christ (John 3:36). During the excruciating six hours of hanging on the cross as He died, Jesus made seven statements briefly summarized from the gospel accounts as follows...

When Culture Hates You by Natasha Crain

As cultural hostility toward Christianity intensifies, many Christians have grown more reluctant to advocate for biblical values in the public square. But our perseverance for the common good—a good defined by God alone—is more important than ever in a culture that embraces darkness.

Who is Jesus and what is the gospel? Redemption Weekend is this coming weekend. It was the most important event in the history of the world. Jesus Christ, having lived a sinless life, offered Himself on the cross as the once-for-all payment for mankind’s sin. And then He rose from the grave three days later, assuring believers that we serve a living King...

Redemption Weekend—which the world calls Easter—is next weekend (Mar. 25-27) and therefore what more important thing is there to focus on than the only Redeemer of mankind, Jesus Christ, and the good news He has brought to the world through His life, death, and resurrection—the gospel? Greg Gilbert, one of our favorite guests on The Christian Worldview, will join us this weekend to deepen our understanding of Christ and His atoning work on our behalf. He will also discuss what the gospel is, and importantly, what it isn’t...

How would you answer the question, “Who am I?” This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview. Is your primary identity defined in terms of your job (“I’m a banker”), your family (“I’m a wife and mother”), your favorite pastime (“I’m a snow boarder”), or perhaps your former way of living (“I’m a recovering alcoholic”)? While these may be part of one’s identity, for the Christian, one’s identity should be grounded in “Who I am in Christ.”

Would you define your primary identity in terms of your vocation (“I’m a banker”), your family (“I’m a wife and mother”), your favorite pastime (“I’m a snow boarder”), or perhaps your former way of living (“I’m a recovering alcoholic”)? While these may help fill in some of the details of one’s identity, for the Christian, one’s identity should be first and foremost grounded in “Who am I in Christ?” Understanding and living out the core answers to that question helps us see ourselves as God sees us...

What’s the truth about climate change? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview. Humanistic environmentalists sound the alarm that man is causing catastrophic climate change and that global authority is required to save our planet. The truth is very different. God said to Adam and Eve in the first chapter of Genesis: “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth. (Genesis 1:28 [Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)] )..

God created a beautiful earth with a rich and diverse ecological system, teeming with life and nourishing our bodies with clean air and water. God told man to “rule over” His creation, as a good steward would thoughtfully manage the property of a landowner. Unfortunately, man in his fallenness, has tended toward mismanaging or over-managing God’s creation...

Can you defend your faith? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview. Christians are losing “home field advantage” in our society. In conversations with others, we can not assume once-common views like God exists, the Bible is true, and Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. Skeptics often push back hard. 1 Peter 3 says, “do not fear their intimidation … but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.” The biblical worldview is the most logical and defendable of all, and every Christian should be able to offer evidence for basic tenets of the faith...

Christians are increasingly losing “home field advantage” in our society. In other words, Christianity is not the prevailing worldview but rather a non-biblical human reasoning that is either secular or spiritual. In conversations with others, Christians can not assume once-common views like God exists, the Bible is true, and Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. Those not familiar with biblical Christianity often have questions about these basic tenets of our faith. Atheists are apt to directly challenge them...

We have heard the the very tragic stories—or perhaps experienced them in our own families—of children being brought up in Christian homes and churches and yet in their twenties (and beyond) embrace the prevalent humanistic cultural worldview of our day on issues such as evolution, morality, and religious pluralism. Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis, calls these Millennials “the church’s lost generation” and warns in his new book, Ready to Return, that unless something changes, the evangelical church in America is heading toward obscurity as seen in the barren landscape of Christianity in England....
