“Science is rational and Christianity is not”… such is the claim of many strident atheists. Many go further and say Christianity is actively at war with science, suppressing its truth.

Beauty and meaning of creation

Genesis 19

Play Episode Listen Later May 23, 2019 5:52


The creation accounts in the first three chapters of the bible have caused an ungodly fight amongst Christians… and earned ridicule from atheists. So, how should the creation of accounts of God making the world in six days, and the Adam and Eve story, be rightly understood?

Atheists

Celebrity atheists pandering to popularism have made the assertion that the biblical accounts of Jesus are fiction and cannot be trusted. Their audacious assertion is based on wilful deceit. So, what is actually true?

Death

Truth

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 14, 2019 7:25

Significance and morality

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 31, 2019 5:54

Transformation

Uniqueness of humanity

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 3, 2019 5:25


It may be a little unsettling but the fact remains: a chimpanzee and a human being have 98.8 per cent of their DNA in common. So, how special are human beings? Is there evidence that we are special and purposed?

Science and faith

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 24, 2019 6:34

Meaning and success

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 7, 2018 5:45


The world was turned upside down for the 1960’s pop/folk legend, Bob Dylan, when he went back to his hotel after a gig. He was feeling jaded with his celebrity world of booze, drugs, sex and endless performances… and it led to him having an encounter with Jesus.

Historical evidence for Jesus

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 14, 2018 6:36


Some of the world's popular atheists claim that Jesus never existed and was not a historical figure. This is wilful deception and quite shocking in its untruth. Even non-Christian historians who lived about the time of Jesus wrote about him, e.g. the Jewish historian, Josephus. Listen to find out more. Do please pass this on to anyone who might be helped by it

Political correctness and politics

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 1, 2018 18:20


Not giving offence by our language is an inherently good and godly thing. But when cries for political correctness go hand in hand with identity politics, political correctness can stop being a mark of politeness... and become a tool of oppression. How are ideologues using language today to re-engineer society and pull it away from God's principles?

Truth

Dare we believe that truth exits? Can unchanging, non-rubbery truth give us the safe assurances we so desperately seek? Can truth even teach us about our true identity and purpose? Enjoy finding out.

Truth and heritage

No civil civilisation can thrive without being grounded in truth. Today, Western civilisation risks losing its confidence in truth -- a truth grounded in its Christian heritage -- and so risks losing its civility and hope.

Fulfilment

Fulfilment, a the world popularly defines it, is not all that it is cracked up to be. To reach the top and still have no idea about who you are, how sacred you are, and what you purpose is means you have not succeeded at all. You are simply a temporary user of the world's resources. But to fulfil your purpose in God... that is entirely different.

Anxiety

Anxiety is the disease of our time. It springs from concerns over our identity, value and purpose. How do we tame the beast using the wisdom Jesus taught?
