Dr. Timothy Jones admits that the Bible is a difficult book to believe. Still, he makes the case that belief in the Bible is far from unreasonable. Join us he takes a look at common questions and doubts about the Bible. Learn how to better 'contend for the faith' by knowing what you believe and why it can be believed.

It’s Witness Wednesday!

Todd Friel is back on campus to talk with students about their views on human value, morality, and faith.

Segment 1:

• Student starts with utilitarian ethics—humans are more valuable than dogs due to societal contribution.

• Conversation shifts dramatically: “Your job on earth is to glorify God.”

• Gives a clear, gospel-rich answer: “Believe on Jesus’ name—He gave me life.”

Segment 2:

• Julie’s theology: good people go to heaven—even if they don’t believe in hell.

• Walks through the Ten Commandments but still claims to be “a good person.”

• Learns the gospel: Jesus paid the fine, repentance and trust are the way to be saved.

Segment 3:

• Would you save a dog or a human—answers rooted in moral relativism, not absolute value.

• “Are you a good person?” sparks confusion: some say yes, others define good as “when I need to be.”

• Beliefs about the afterlife range from agnostic to cabalistic “spirit-unity-God.”

Segment 4:

• Final student values “potential” over intrinsic worth—would save schoolkids over a best friend.

• In a dying man scenario, offers vague comfort: “Ask for forgiveness… from whoever that is for you.”

• Todd closes with urgent exhortation: Know the gospel. Articulate the gospel. Teach the gospel.

Tim and Mary Danielsen take apart some current headlines today, further cementing the notion that our worldview matters when it comes to discerning the times. First up, we look at the UN and their age-old longing to tax the life out of all of us and call it a world government. It takes money to run the world, and they intend to fund it to the hilt. Next we look at the topic of the Third Temple, and those who want to take it by force – vs those who simply know with confidence that it will be in God’s timing. A recent video circulating has the Arab world a bit upset, we will talk about that.  Also on the agenda, the IMF is having a confab, they and the World Bank are also longing for complete control. We discuss the latest nonsense from Christianity Today magazine, a long time rag that seems more and more confused as to what “Christianity” actually is. They might just go the way of the iconic Christian bookstore before long. We summarize the late pope’s beliefs; the Days of Lot; and stories the media is ignoring.
