More than 500 years ago, the authority and sufficiency of the Bible was up for debate in a famous public meeting. To this very day, evangelical Protestants come down on one side of that debate.
The Bible, as the Word of God, is fully true and without error in its teachings. This doctrine is known as the “infallibility” or “inerrancy” of the Scriptures.
Following the previous episode, we’re focusing on one signal from God, a signal that indicates His existence and His character. It’s the universal sense of right and wrong. Listen to what C.S. Lewis and others have said about this signal.
God is continually sending out signals to all people on the earth. By “tuning in,” everyone should be able to know something about God. In this episode we explore the idea of “general revelation” and what it means for us today.
Two other objections to believing in the God of the Bible are these: a) the Church has caused injustice and violence in the world, and b) science makes belief in God and miracles impossible. How shall we respond?
In his New York Times bestselling book, Dr. Timothy Keller replies to objections to Christianity. In this episode, we’re looking at three of the most common objections raised by sceptics today.
We’ve now completed our third season of “Mission Upside Down.” We’re listing the most popular episodes among our listeners. If you’ve missed any of them, you might want to catch up during the summer.
As we’ve learned in this series on the Beatitudes, it’s not easy to follow Jesus consistently. But by God’s grace we are enabled to do that. And in the doing, we are blessed and rewarded.

About Mission Upside Down
From the publisher's feed
For 2000 years, the followers of Jesus have been on a mission, even as Jesus himself was on a mission. Often wrongly understood as “saving souls,” this mission of Jesus actually is about bringing…
people into a new kingdom, a new reality. Life in this new kingdom requires not only a change of heart and mind, but a change in life-purpose and worldview. As Jesus himself observes, there are not many people who will want this change. But for those who are changed by God inwardly, life in this new kingdom, brings new meaning and purpose in life. Everyone who becomes part of this new kingdom finds that almost all their prior beliefs, ideas, attitudes, and perspectives become turned “upside down.”
