For centuries, people from all walks of life have reflected upon the suffering of Jesus Christ under Pontius Pilate. This pivotal moment in Christian theology marked the culmination of Jesus’ earthly ministry. It is an historical occurrence with profound spiritual and theological implications. Pontius Pilate was the Roman governor of Judea, comprising the middle of […]
The Apostles Creed was written 1800 years ago when the early church was wracked with controversy over the nature of Jesus. Was he fully man? Was he the son of God? Was he the awaited messiah? Did he truly die and come back from the dead? Is he the Lord his followers proclaimed? That may […]
If Jesus is not the son of God and just a man, his death could not have served as a substitute for the death that all men deserve for their sin. This is a foundational belief of Christianity and is based on Jesus’s declaration that God is his Father. It is also affirmed in other […]
The first line in the Apostles Creed reads: I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

Before anything was created, he existed. When he […]

The Bible, rightly called the book that made our world, has inspired the best of Western civilization: science, technology, education, and political and economic freedom. Because we are made in […]
No. An atheist doesn’t believe in the existence of God and generally dismisses the supernatural. By contrast, an agnostic is one who does not know if God exists and believes that some things, God, for example, are unknowable. Since both of these terms regularly come up in news and literature, on TV and the Internet, […]
Christians understand that God exists in three personal forms. These three, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, are collectively called The Trinity. While all part of the Godhead, each is distinct but is in a loving communion with each other. The third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, is described as a counselor and a […]
