Biblical Perspective on Christian Involvement With the Fine Arts

Is there any legitimate place for the arts within the biblical worldview, or is it simply a frivolous and “worldly” pursuit? How can we tell good and godly art from bad art?

Correcting Distorted Images of God

How can I change my negative view of God? The picture of God that comes most readily to my mind is that of a harsh overseer, a rule-giver, a relentless judge, a dispenser of punishment. I know that the Gospel is supposed to be good news, but somehow it doesn’t feel like good news to …

God’s Unconditional Love

Why are Christians always saying that God’s love is “unconditional”? I’ve become increasingly alarmed and distressed over the liberal use of this term. If God’s love is unconditional, why did Uzzah get zapped for touching the Ark of the Covenant (2 Samuel 6)? What about Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5)? If God’s love is unconditional, …

What the Bible Says About Political Rebellion and Revolution

Is political revolution biblically justified? Recent events in the Middle East have raised this question in my mind. For the most part the evangelical Christian community seem to be sympathetic of these “revolutionary” movements, but I can’t help wondering whether the Bible supports this kind of activity. Isn’t it simply rebellion against the governing authorities? …

Making Things Right With Someone You’ve Offended

As a Christian, do I always have to make things right with someone I’ve offended? In Matthew 5:23 and 24 Jesus tells us to mend broken relationships before turning to God in worship or prayer. This verse has been weighing on my mind these past few days. I did something that may have been hurtful …
