5 New Year’s Resolutions from the Bible

Last updated on: December 29, 2017 at 7:05 am By Dillon Burroughs

New Year’s resolutions are frequently made and often broken. But what if we made it our goal to make resolutions based on Scripture rather than only self-improvement? The Bible offers numerous examples of areas where we can focus growth while serving God. Instead of the usual topics of losing weight, stopping smoking, or not using bad language, let’s consider five New Year’s resolutions from the Bible. Resolution 1: Draw Near to God James 4:8 teaches to draw near to God... Read more

4 Insights from the First Christmas

Last updated on: February 7, 2018 at 3:40 pm By Dillon Burroughs

You may have a nativity set in your home, but do you know these six insights from Christmas? Many of our views of the first Christmas originate from culture more than Scripture. Here are four details we often miss in our retelling of the birth of Jesus. Insight 1: Jesus Was Not Born in 1 A.D. The early church attempted to create a calendar based on the date of birth of Christ. Time prior to his birth was to be... Read more

Why Does the United Nations Oppose Jerusalem?

Last updated on: December 22, 2017 at 9:27 am By Dillon Burroughs

Yesterday the United Nations voted to declare America’s support of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital “null and void.” The overwhelming 128-9 vote strongly showed the bias of UN leaders, leading to the question, “Why does the United Nations oppose Israel?” Politically, much is at stake. Arab nations and those influenced by them stand against legal recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Instead, Arab nations seek a Palestinian nation in which Jerusalem (or at least part of it) serves as its capital.... Read more

Do You Believe in the Virgin Birth? Fewer Americans Do

Last updated on: December 26, 2017 at 9:37 am By Dillon Burroughs

A new Pew Research Center survey notes the number of Christians and religious “nones” who believe in the virgin birth of Jesus has decreased significantly since 2014. Two-thirds (66%) say Jesus was born to a virgin, compared with 73% who said this in 2014. Among 18-29-year-olds, only 54% agreed. In other words, only about half of American young adults believe Jesus was born of a virgin. A review is in order. The Origin of the Virgin Birth The first note alluding... Read more

New Evidence for the New Testament City of Corinth

Last updated on: December 18, 2017 at 10:28 am By Dillon Burroughs

News outlets have recently reported the discovery of parts of the New Testament city of Corinth in a now underwater area of the Lechaion harbor. Research by the Calsberg Foundation notes many of the academic details associated with the find. A report in ChristianPost.com notes, “The Romans destroyed Corinth in 146 BC while conquering Greece, and Julius Caesar rebuilt the city and its harbours in 44 BC. The port was hit by an earthquake around the early 7th century AD,... Read more

Christmas Mythbusters

Last updated on: December 13, 2017 at 3:08 pm By Dillon Burroughs

Last night, my family took time to discuss the Christmas accounts from Matthew and Luke with our nativity set. I loved the interaction, but was also reminded of some Christmas extras often added to the biblical account. At least five Christmas myths have been added. 1. Mary Riding a Donkey to Bethlehem Nearly every video or church production portrays a pregnant Mary riding a donkey into Bethlehem. While possible, this detail is not included in Matthew or Luke’s accounts of... Read more

The Death (and Life) of Jesus Continues to Make Headlines

Last updated on: December 5, 2017 at 3:05 pm By Dillon Burroughs

Many news outlets have reported over the past week regarding scientific tests conducted at the traditional tomb of Jesus. National Geographic reported construction materials from the tomb date to the Roman era. Further, limestone tested at the site reveals remnants of a tomb from 1,700 years ago. This limestone dates to the fourth century, a time when Romans enshrined this area in reverence of the site as the traditional location of the tomb of Jesus. What does this information mean?...
