This is where Ground and Sky meet — where scientific implications about reality connect with our human experience as rational, spiritual beings. This section will include essays, practical advice, outlines, teaching guides, and templates for evaluating, discussing, instructing, and applying the Christian worldview to life in the real world. Because the culture is the place where what we believe about reality is reflected and played out, this is also where you will find analysis of cultural trends that tell us a lot about the nature and reliability of our worldview.
When it comes to matters of faith, morality, and values, the culture is a dangerous place for our kids. We have a duty to protect them. But too many Christian parents interpret that duty as a mandate to isolate them and shield them from the world. That isn’t biblical and it doesn’t work. Statistics prove it. …
Anybody can become an expert at anything. There is no secret path to expertise. It doesn’t come by chance. The path to becoming an expert is a path of unrelenting dedication and sacrifice. That is why experts are rare. Very few of us are willing to do what it takes to become one. Spirituality is …
Jesus is the Logos. The Logos is a combination of truth, goodness, and beauty. Truth, goodness, and beauty are the references that give us a grounded Christian spirituality. That’s the True Horizon model — spirituality based on an accurate picture of the world. But what does a spirituality grounded in the real world look like? …
It is a scary thing to be disoriented. At best, it means you’re headed in the wrong direction. But if you’re flying airplanes, it means you have no reference to the ground. You can’t navigate. You may not even know which way is up. In other words, being disoriented is not just an annoyance. It’s …
In June of 2018, a Colorado baker named Jack Phillips won his case in the U. S. Supreme Court. The case stemmed from his refusal to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding ceremony. But it’s not over. Immediately thereafter, a transgender woman targeted Phillips again. She wanted him to bake a cake for the anniversary celebration …
Many contemporary Christians are reluctant to speak the truth. They have accepted the notion that truth is divisive and that claiming to know the truth is arrogant. They want to be inclusive and show love and be compassionate. That’s all great. But, in the meantime, the truth of the Gospel is dying in the streets. …
Here’s a question I got recently: “It has always bothered me that I am a sinful human. None of my good efforts, leading a good life can deter sin. I was born with sin and I have to be forgiven? I don’t get that. Why am I a ‘sinner’ and why do I need to …
Unfortunately, everybody has heard about Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans. They were both born with eerily similar and rare genetic disorders. They both died before they reached age two. Sadly, those kinds of things happen too often. But neither of them are the reason you’ve heard of Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans. You’ve heard of …
Greg Koukl is famous for comparing a worldview to a giant jigsaw puzzle. The top of the box is our picture of reality. The puzzle only makes sense if all its pieces are in the right place. Some people are trying to fit pieces in places where they don’t belong. Some people have the wrong …
[This is a re-post from several years ago that I think is still completely relevant today] Two books on the NY Times Best Seller list share a common thesis — that religion in general, and Christianity specifically, is not just wrong, or off-base, or a subject worth debating — but that it is evil, deluded, …
