Send us your Questions and Comments Here
Does God determine ahead of time who He'll save and who He won't? Are we totally depraved to the point that we can't recognize the goodness
s and power of the gospel? Why does the Bible say that "Many are invited but few are chosen?" What can we do to avoid being trapped in a theological framework that causes us to be unobjective?

Send us your Questions and Comments Here
What did Jesus mean when He said "I am the bread of life" in John 6? Did He intend to make a statement about consuming Him physically in one sense or another?

September 10, 2024 A Reminder that Hitler is Evil and Christians Should Recognize It | Richard Weikart
Send us your Questions and Comments Here
Nick Shalna interviews Dr. Richard Weikart on why there has been so much recent talk about Hitler being an "ok guy" and Churchill being the real villain of WWII. Why have young men in the Christian Nationalist movement recently sympathized with the Third Reich? Why has there seemingly been a large effort to rewrite history? How much of the holocaust originated with Hitler and how much originated with (some of) the German population at the time? Why does this matter today?
