On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank discusses the certainty of death in the wake of the death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash along with eight others yesterday, including one of his daughters. Many people over the last 24 hours have asked the question Why did Kobe die? Truthfully, says Hank, that why question rarely, if ever, finds an answer. Instead, we are called to trust God in the midst of our whys. We are called to prepare for eternity as if everything depended on itbecause it does. In the second segment of the broadcast, Hank takes the opportunity to say something about the beginning of life. A recent caller on the broadcast asked about reproductive technologies, often referred to IVFIn vitro fertilization or fertilization in a glass. Its an increasingly popular form of reproduction that raises significant moral concerns in this epoch of time.

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank discusses the issue raised by skeptics that Christians are irrational because we believe in a God we cannot see. In reality, says Hank, its irrational for someone to suppose that what cannot be seen doesnt exist. After all, Christians and skeptics alike recognize such things as electrons, or the laws of logic, or the force of gravityall of which are unseen. The order and complexity of the universe testify to the existence of an uncaused first cause. The more you contemplate the grandeur of the universe in which we reside, the more we are brought in touch with the glory and the grandeur of the invisible God who made himself known in time and space through the visible Jesus Christ.

Hank also answers the following questions:

Are we meant to keep the Sabbath, or is it no longer under the law?

I am having trouble trusting God; I read about His love, but I dont feel it personally. Do you have any wisdom on the nature of God as it relates to me?
