    El Fervor de los Cristianos en Cuba / The Christian Zeal of Believers in Cuba

    Octavio Esqueda — 

    En los 繳ltimos d穩as se ha dicho y escrito mucho sobre Cuba. La muerte de Fidel Castro ha originado un sin fin de perspectivas sobre su legado, sobre la Revoluci籀n Cubana y sobre el bello pa穩s de Cuba en general. En lo personal, he tenido el privilegio de viajar a Cuba en trece ocasiones, de convivir con much穩simos cubanos en diferentes contextos y de hacer una investigaci籀n sobre la educaci籀n teol籀gica en Cuba. Me gustar穩a resaltar que en Cuba ha habido un avivamiento espiritual por much穩simos a簽os en donde el Esp穩ritu Santo ha estado obrando poderosamente a lo largo de la isla. El crecimiento de la iglesia ha sido tal que muchas denominaciones no se dan abasto en la preparaci籀n de l穩deres y en el discipulado de los nuevos creyentes.

    Is God a Respecter of Businesses? Yes, No, and Yes

    Mark Saucy — 

    One of the benefits of being part of a Christian university is the opportunity for collaboration with colleagues across the disciplines. For theologians this is gold. Questions for integration of faith in science, history, politics, or psychology? Ive got specialists across campus, all with the same mission, who have been thinking about such things for a long time. One recent opportunity in this direction was participating a colloquium with the faculty of 51蹤獲s Crowell School of Business. Among many topics opened that day, one in particular has haunted me these days in the interim. It was a question that revolved around a start-up competition the Business School sponsors. Students are encouraged to submit business plans for the hope of some start up seed money to launch. But what should be the criteria for judging better proposals? Beyond certain received best practices for the business side, does God prefer some business plans to others? Following is my original Yes and No answer to the question; what comes after is now another rather late Yes for the conversation. God does prefer some businesses to others ...

    El evangelio seg繳n San Juan empieza con una declaraci籀n asombrosa que describe el origen del universo y nos da una descripci籀n de Jesucristo: En el principio era el Verbo, y el Verbo era con Dios, y el Verbo era Dios.

    Truth is a Person Not Simply An Idea

    Sean McDowell — 

    Truth matters. And in our moments of honesty, we all know this. Minimally, we all live as if truth matters. Its unavoidable. Truth matters in religious matters too. All religions (including atheism) claim to present a true depiction of reality. And this includes Christianity. But there is a key fact that makes Christianity distinct from other world religions Christianity does not present truth merely as an abstract idea, but as a person who can be known.

    With Endless Information, Can We Know Anything At All?

    Sean McDowell — 

    Recently I was speaking to a group of pastors, youth pastors, and other church workers in Idaho. One pastor asked a question that, in my experience, perfectly captures the thinking process of many students today. He said, My younger brother, a Millennial, is constantly on his cell phone. When I try to talk to him about God, he says that people disagree and so we simply cant have any confidence at all in our beliefs. How would you respond? Can we know things or are we lost in a sea of endless information?

    Problem Passages in The Message

    Gary Manning Jr — 

    My friend Ken Berding wrote a recent blog post explaining his concerns about using The Message. As he pointed out, people often treat it as a Bible translation, when it is actually a very loose paraphrase. One of Kens observations is that The Message routinely adds meaning to or subtracts meaning from the original Greek and Hebrew text. While doing detailed work in the Greek New Testament and in several English translations, I have repeatedly found this to be true.

    Sean McDowell — 

    I love having conversations with people about spiritual matters. If we treat people with kindness, charity, and show a genuine interest in how they see the world, most people are open to discussing religious matters. In fact, in my experience, many people are eager for such conversations.

    A Few Thoughts on the Hatmaker Position on LGBTQ

    Sean McDowell — 

    For a variety of reasons, I rarely respond publicly to other Christians. But in this case, I feel compelled to do so. Last week, in an effort to be compassionate and loving, popular Christian author Jen Hatmaker came out in support of LGBT relationships, referring to them as holy. While other Christian influencers have come out in favor of affirming theology, this caught my attention because my wife has personally benefited greatly from her books. In fact, she has even read out loud to me some particularly funny and insightful portions from one of Jens book.
