    What Does Faith in Jesus Rest On?

    Always have a ready defense for the hope within you, says 1 Peter 3:15. What is that defense?

    Some Christians will tell you they believe God’s Word, and he is God, and that settles it. But this kind of argument is no defense. It isn’t even logical. It presupposes the very thing it sets out to defend.

    Growing up in a variety of churches, I had the chance to hear diverse perspectives. What is faith? Why should we have faith?

    How to Be Holy (Old Testament Style)

    For the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable, go to the Old Testament. Because it’s largely a narrative, the Old Testament shows cause and effect—of every kind. You can trust it to tell the juicy parts.

    I want to show you some match-ups I discovered. It’s a set of revealing comparisons of those who got it right and those who didn’t.

    I found two principles:

    1. Why holiness matters.

    2. How people become holy.

    I’ll share these principles at the end. But see if you can find them yourself in the following comparisons:

    Do I Have to Go to Church?

    People search this question on Google about 30 times a week…  If you’re one of those 30 people, this post is for you!
