Biblical Creation

No story in the Bible is under more assault to its eternal truth than the Creation story found at the very beginning in the book of Genesis.

Genesis 1 Day 1 makes a precise prediction of liquid water on the surface of the Earth when the sun became a star. Recent discoveries in Early Earth science are revealing our planet cooled quicker than originally believed, and that much of the water came from the Earth itself. Evidence may soon ...

Tad may have had to put his dream of owning a shop on hold, but his drive to understand what he's destined to become has only grown.

If he's going to succeed, he'll need more than allies... he'll need an army.

This book contains a defense of the idea that God’s rest on Day 7 of the creation week is instructive for people today. More technically, this book argues for the propriety of weekly Sabbath rest. This means that the normal pattern to be followed by humanity is a week, consisting of seven 24-hour days, six of which are spent in work while the other day is devoted to rest. Theologians would use the language of God’s rest being a “creation ordinance,” which is a term that many theologians use, but none have defined.

In the early books of the Old Testament, the mysterious "Angel of the Lord" repeatedly appears—visibly, audibly, even physically—to the Patriarchs, to Moses, to the Prophets. Who is this Angel? Exploring the biblical texts, the testimony of church history, and the insights of Systematic Theology, Matt Foreman and Doug Van Dorn argue that the answer is beyond doubt: the Angel of the Lord is a manifestation of God the Son. Even more, they argue that this Angel appears more often than people realize, because he appears under different titles, including: the Word, the Name, the Glory, the ...
