My God and My Neighbor

Is it true that “Everybody interprets the Bible differently, so no one can know what it means”? If we believe God wrote the Bible, that cannot be true. God would not give us a book to confuse us. Still, there are lingering questions about the interpretation of the Scriptures. Why do people interpret it differently and how can we ever know we have the right understanding of it?

This episode of Finding Truth in the Con...

Nothing should be clearer to mankind than the existence of God. Yet there are different answers to questions like “Is there a God?” and “Who is God?” If God exists, then why are there different interpretations of the world He created? 

There is confusion over these questions. But that doesn’t mean there should be. Just because there are different opinions does not mean a person is unable to kno...

There are different opinions about every religious question. That doesn't mean all of them are right. It doesn't mean the evidence is inconclusive or unclear. It certainly doesn't mean that the proof and teaching God gives is lacking in clarity. But the fact is that God made mankind with free will. People choose what they want to believe. That is why there is so much religious division today. This episode introduces Finding Truth i...

Islam is the largest religion on earth with roughly two billion followers. Some countries are mainly Muslims while others are a mixture of Muslims and other religions including Christians. But is Islam a religion or a political system? 

In this interview with two preachers in Nigeria, we will hear from brothers in Christ who have firsthand experience with this movement. These Christians did not learn about Islam by watching...

It is easy to acquire a pessimistic, even cynical view of mankind as we age. Disappointments in others and in ourselves accumulate, leaving us with a despondent outlook. Read the words of almost anyone in history who lived into his sixties or seventies and you will notice this negative frame of mind. 

It is true that the majority of people are lost in sin (I John 5:19). It is also true that evil tends to go from bad to wors...

It’s one of the best known stories in the Bible. There are countless drawings of it. Children learn it in Bible school. Christians of all ages love to read it and hear sermons about this challenge in Daniel’s life. Daniel had faced dangerous situations before, but being thrown into a den of lions was not something he expected.

This is a story of faith and courage. It is also a story of what happens when God’s l...

The signs of doom were there, but this arrogant king didn’t see it coming. A large army was stationed outside the city walls waiting for the command to attack. But this king was oblivious. He throwing a party in his luxurious palace. His name was Belshazzar, the grandson of king Nebuchadnezzar. He inherited the throne from his father and was the most powerful man in the world. But the Babylonian Empire he was over was about t...

When people know the Bible, they understand life better. One of the simple yet profound truths of the Scriptures is that “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Prov. 16:18). A thousand years after Simon wrote these words, Jesus said, “Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted” (Matt. 23:12).

There are few things that lead to pride lik...

There are two kinds of Bible readers: those who read it for themselves and those who want someone else to do their thinking for them. That’s why there is so much big government religion today. Denominations set up a governing body supposedly to guide and assist the individual churches in that denomination. There are tow major problems with that arrangement. First, there is no biblical authority for it. Second, it is the sourc...

How many times has your faith really been put to the test? Your faith is tested every day, but there are times in the life of a Christian when our faith seems to be pressed to the limit. It's not that we're unclear about what we should do. The problem is that it also seems very clear what could happen if we do. That stress causes fear, and that fear clouds our judgment. We must choose between faith and fear. 

Three godly, s...

Nations rise and nations fall. Politicians come and go. The world of politics is unstable and unpredictable. It’s no wonder that elections make us nervous. We work hard to secure our lives and set things in place for our families, and the government with a single decision can change everything we’ve built. We sometimes fear what the future will bring in our nation. 

Daniel lived in a foreign land. He had already...

Americans disagree with each other on many points, but there is one thing we agree on: things are changing and they’re changing fast. People are moving from one state to another and from one country to another. The world is a smaller place. Everything seems to be challenged: our government, our education, our families, our values and our way of life. 

The book of Daniel is about adjusting to change—not compromis...

We may not like change, but it’s part of life. And there are times when the world around us changes suddenly, drastically and permanently. Life can be so fast and different that our heads swim and it’s hard to think clearly. Today is one of those times. Everything in this country is changing quickly—our neighbors, our government, our schools, our values, our families and even our religion. 

How can we as C...

An old but still popular view is that Gog and Magog in the Bible refers to Russia, and toward the end of time Russia and its allies will join forces to fight against the nation of Israel. And with all the wars going on, it’s no wonder that people are talking about Gog and Magog. Israel is at war with the Palestinians. Russia is at war with the Ukrainians. The United States is it war with Iran. All this conflict is drawing att...

We can know that God is. Even nature teaches us that. David said, “The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1). But knowing God is different. It’s like the difference between knowing who someone is and knowing him on a personal level. 

People all over the world sense that there is more to this life than what they see. And they yearn to know the One who created all this. But can they? And if so, how ...

Is Jesus the only way? The world needs a straight answer. When the church began, the Roman world was full of all idolatry, superstition and witchcraft. Beliefs were like a buffet where each person chose the religion he liked. But when the apostles preached, they didn’t present Jesus as just another religion. They preached that He was THE WAY. That message is just as needed today.

This is not arrogant. It is not biased. The...

One of the top Internet searches today is this: “Is the Bible the Word of God?” But it’s more than just questions that people are asking. Some  are making some serious charges against it. 

The religious landscape of America is markedly different now from what it was 75 or 100 years ago. Then there was a general consensus in this country that the Bible is the Word of God. They disagreed about what it m...

There have been more books written about Jesus than any other person who ever walked the earth. Yet there is still debate about who He was. Some of the most common questions people ask about God and religion today include “Is Jesus God?” and “Was Jesus God and man?” 

It’s ironic that Jesus asked His disciples what people were saying about Him in Matthew chapter 16. They all saw the same miracle...
