Last updated on: March 30, 2020 at 7:02 pm By Mark Driscoll

Effects have causes. Jesus’ resurrection is no exception, as is evident by eight effects caused by it. Together, they are compelling circumstantial evidence for Jesus’ resurrection. Further, for those wanting to deny Jesus’ resurrection, the burden of proof remains on them to account for these multiple effects with a reasonable cause. Craig explains, “Anyone who denies this explanation is rationally obligated to produce a more plausible cause of Jesus’ resurrection and to explain how it happened.”62 He goes on to... Read more

This latest war from the coronavirus, in fact, part of a much bigger war. The Bible says that the war on... Read more

Last updated on: March 2, 2020 at 8:08 pm By Mark Driscoll

Daniel 7:1 – In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head as he lay in his bed. Then he wrote down the dream and told the sum of the matter.
