But I’ve spent a majority of my life trying to be perfect, so excuse me for getting a little miffed by not accomplishing that in the last 24 years. In high school, I was obsessed with appearing perfect. All the...

≪ Previous: Q&A with Religion On Trial Author, Craig Parton

Martin Luther was a prolific preacher. He faithfully spoke words of Law and Gospel to many people over his career—which is crucial, since the average person wouldn’t have been able to read God’s Word, either because they didn’t know how to read or didn’t have access to a Bible. Collections of Luther’s sermons were compiled...

When I was six years old, I hit my friend in the head with a wooden block. This was no tap on the head. I doubled down, wound up, leaned in, and knocked him out. My offense, however, was not unprovoked. He told me to do it. So I did. My friend explicitly asked me...

≪ Previous: Why It’s Important to Read the Bible with Your Children

Jesus, the Second person of the Holy Trinity, has existed eternally without a beginning. He is true God—omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient. But Jesus is also human. A man, to be specific. He took on flesh, knit together in His mother’s womb. He was born into this world (like you, like me), but without sin (wildly unlike...

≪ Previous: The Humanity of God

Christianity, a religion that begins and ends with the person and work of Jesus Christ, is the only religion of the world to regard man’s eternal salvation as a pure gift of God, without any human merit, work, or worthiness. As Christians, we believe there is one, true, and living God who made the world...

An Honest Conversation about Death

≪ Previous: CPH 150th Anniversary Art Contest

What is it about death that scares us? What causes us to ignore it, for the most part, until death stares us in the face? Our culture tells us death is just part of life, or that it is natural, but that is not how the Bible speaks about death. Death wasn’t part of God’s...
