Canadians Kevin and Julia Garratt had lived in China for 28 years, teaching English, operating an orphanage, providing refugee aid, and raising their children. They didn’t call themselves “missionaries” per se, but their mission as Christians was to “always be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).

Then one day in August 2014 as they were running a coffee shop near the North Korean border, Kevin and Julie were unexpectedly arrested by Chinese authorities and charged with spying. For six months, they were interrogated six hours a day, after which Kevin was imprisoned for an additional 19 months before finally being convicted and deported...

Why is the inspiration of Scripture so important? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

In the New Testament, the apostle Paul writes, “All Scripture is inspired by God…”

That God divinely directed the 40 human authors of the Bible is foundational. Because if he didn’t, then Scripture is the words of fallen man and not the true word of God...

What is the biggest challenge? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

It’s Christians parents raising children who love God as adults. Consider how the sons of Eli, Israel’s high priest, turned out. Or you may know or have an adult child who was raised in a Christian home, but now has little to no interest in the things of God.

What to do? Christian parents must authentically follow Christ themselves and intentionally cultivate the same with their children, trusting God and the principle (not a guarantee) of Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

It is a repeating pattern throughout history—God-fearing parents raising children who turn out not to be God-fearing as adults. Consider the ungodliness of the sons of Israel’s high priest, Eli (1 Samuel 2:12 [Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)] ) or King David’s son, Absalom. Perhaps you know or have personally experienced a child who was raised in a Christian home, but upon reaching adulthood, had little to no interest in the things of God...

The good news is that God didn’t create everything and leave us in the dark about His character and will. No, He inspired a book so we can know who He is and how we should follow Him. In other words, He is the God who speaks....

God doesn’t just exist. He hasn’t created everything and left us trying to figure out who He is and what He desires for us. No, God has revealed His character and His will in writing in the Bible. In other words, God spoke the world into existence and He still speaks today in His word.

The apostle Paul made the unambiguous assertion: “All Scripture is inspired by God…” But what does inspiration mean? How were the books of the Bible compiled? How do we know our current English translations are anything like the originals? What value is Scripture for us today?...
