Rapid Fire – Part 3

Greg provides insight on common challenges you might face as a Christian ambassador, including how God can hear everyone’s prayers, euthanasia, the vast number of variants in biblical manuscripts, why death is the deadline for salvation, the deity of Jesus, and the influence of culture on people’s beliefs.

The Top Ten Posts of 2025

As 2025 comes to a close, here’s a look back at the most-viewed posts of the year.

The Other Side of 400 Years of Silence

For 400 years, no word from God was heard through his prophets or his angels. Then, the Savior came—a man who displayed qualities that belong to God alone, proving he truly is Immanuel, God with us.

The Rising Tide of Islam

Alan Shlemon explains why many feel apprehensive about seeing a Muslim rise to power in a prominent American city but also reminds us how we should view this event as citizens of Heaven and ambassadors of Christ.

The War Within the Story

Every story fights for something—either to advance the kingdom of light or to strengthen the shadows that oppose it. Here’s what we’re called to do with that power as Christians.

Why Non-Christians Oppose Transgender Ideology

Many secular non-Christians have grave concerns about transgender ideology, and their primary motivation is not ignorance or bigotry but love and biology. Here are five of the reasons why they oppose it.

Rapid Fire – Part 2

Greg continues fielding "rapid-fire" challenges, responding to objections about Christians’ intelligence, the subjectivity of a morality based on God, the dangers of radical Christianity, taking the Bible literally, and Christians’ use of the Old Testament Law.

How Should I Talk with Children About Abortion?

How should we communicate the case for the pro-life view to children? There is no formulaic answer to this, but here are four guiding principles we can employ.

Columbus and the Flat Earth Myth

We’ve all heard the story that Christopher Columbus set sail amidst disputes involving the shape of the earth, but ancient and medieval sources tell a different story about what the people of Columbus’s time believed.

Unseen Roots: How Christianity Grounds Human Value

Many of the institutions and values our society cherishes exist because Christianity transformed our world, and one of the most significant examples of this is the West’s belief in intrinsic human value.

Why Looking Backwards Keeps You Safe

After Paul warns Timothy there will be trouble in the church as Christians turn to myths that tickle their ears rather than endure sound biblical doctrine, he then gives the antidote in three simple words: "You, however, continue."

Tragedy Overload

Anyone watching the news or social media this month has been served a barrage of visual carnage. It’s a lot to take in. Indeed, it’s too much. Here are five strategies to help you deal with the faux omnipresence and faux omniscience created by our media technology.

Descriptive vs. Prescriptive

Greg highlights the distinction between descriptive and prescriptive passages in the Bible then answers questions about a pro-choice challenge, helping someone in memory care, baptismal regeneration, responding to "Love is my religion," animal blessings, and Bible translations.

#STRask: How Do I Determine Which Topics at Work Are Worth Commenting On?

Questions about how to determine which topics at work are worth commenting on, and a good way to respond when you’re in a group Bible study and hear earnest, lifelong Christians talk excitedly about books or content creators that aren’t orthodox.

Is Beauty in the Eye of the Beholder?

Greg answers questions about beauty being "in the eye of the beholder," what it looks like to follow the greatest commandment and how to teach it to students, and how to explain to a skeptic what we mean by "faith."

#STRask: Did Jesus Prove He Wasn’t Sinless When He Overturned the Tables?

Questions about whether Jesus proved he wasn’t sinless when he overturned the tables, whether Jesus’ response to the Pharisees in Mark 3:22–26 was a bad argument, why Jesus was known for associating with sinners, and to what extent we should follow his example.

We Can’t Both Be Christian

Greg talks about fundamental differences between Latter-day Saint and Christian theology, explaining that we can’t both be Christian, then he talks to callers about whether being a winsome ambassador is irrelevant if God draws people, and attending a megachurch.

If Jesus Is the Firstborn, Does That Mean He’s Part of Creation?

Greg talks to a caller about whether Colossians 1:15 implies that Jesus is part of creation since it says he is the "firstborn," then he reflects on the first Christmas and the birth of Jesus.

#STRask: What About Those Who Never Heard the Name of Jesus?

Questions about what will happen to those who never heard of Jesus or were brought up in a different faith, whether there’s biblical warrant to think a humble, repentant attitude can save people who don’t know Jesus, and where the souls who lived before Jesus go.

Read Your Bible!

Alan briefly unpacks three reasons why daily Bible reading should be a priority.

Are All Values and Duties Subjective Since They Only Exist in Minds?

Greg talks to callers about whether all values and duties are inherently subjective, whether Paul is making the same point in Ephesians 2:7 and Romans 9:23, biblical justification for Christian Zionism, and how God can be good if he doesn’t save everyone he created.

#STRask: How Do You Justify Calling Jesus the Messiah?

Questions about how one can justify calling Jesus the Messiah when he didn’t fulfill the Hebrew messianic prophecies, and whether the reason for the virgin birth was just to set Jesus apart as unique or there was a deeper meaning.

Thoughts on Annihilationism

Greg comments on the current conversation on annihilationism and calls for charity when disagreeing with others on this issue, then he answers a question about how to deal with doubts when Christianity seems unlikely to you.

#STRask: Are You Accursed If You Tithe?

Questions about whether anyone who tithes is not a Christian and is accursed since Paul says that if you obey one part of the Mosaic Law you’re obligated to obey all of it, and the claim that tithing preceded the Law and therefore remains a principle for the church today.

Solid Ground

Rapid Fire – Part 3

Greg provides insight on common challenges you might face as a Christian ambassador, including how God can hear everyone’s prayers, euthanasia, the vast number of variants in biblical manuscripts, why death is the deadline for salvation, the deity of Jesus, and the influence of culture on people’s beliefs.

Tactics and Tools

Rapid Fire – Part 2

Greg continues fielding "rapid-fire" challenges, responding to objections about Christians’ intelligence, the subjectivity of a morality based on God, the dangers of radical Christianity, taking the Bible literally, and Christians’ use of the Old Testament Law.

Rapid Fire – Part 1

Many challenges Christians frequently face require only a simple response that can easily be learned by those who want to be prepared to give an answer. In this Solid Ground, Greg answers some of those objections, giving his responses as if he were fielding them in a "rapid-fire" challenge session with skeptics.

God’s Unbreakable Word

The Bible is either a book written by men about God, or it’s a book authored (ultimately) by God and given to men. Those are the alternatives. If the former, it’s prone to all the errors, flaws, and misguided opinions that humans are prone to. If the latter, then that changes everything.
