    When Was the New Testament Written? | Daniel McCoy

    Click here to read the full article at RENEW.org: hhttps://renew.org/when-was-the-new-testament-written/  This is an audio version of a written Article from RENEW.org Check out other great articles on RENEW.org here: https://renew.org/articles/ When was the New Testament written? One way to answer this is to list the New Testament books and give their approximate date of composition. If you’re looking more for a book-by-book summary of the books and their dates, I totally recommend an excellent article by John Whittaker called “How Many New Testament Books and What Do They Teach?” This article takes a step back and asks more of a big-picture question about the dating of the New Testament. Amid skeptical claims that the New Testament includes a lot of legendary stories, which way does the evidence point us? To a later, legendary New Testament OR to a New Testament written within the lifetimes of people experiencing the events themselves? Discerning out which way the evidence points is the purpose of this article. Before we get to the when behind the New Testament, let’s pause and ask a couple preliminary questions: First, what exactly is the New Testament? Second, why does it matter when the New Testament was written? Listen for more...

    Preaching That Engages the Skeptic: How (Part 3) | Daniel McCoy

    Click here to read the full article at RENEW.org: https://renew.org/preaching-that-engages-the-skeptic-how-part-3/  This is an audio version of a written Article from RENEW.org Check out other great articles on RENEW.org here: https://renew.org/articles/ This is my third and final article on engaging the skeptic in our preaching. Let’s take a second to review: First, why do we need to engage the skeptic in our preaching? It’s because skepticism about Christianity is rising both inside and outside the church. That was Part 1. Second, what works and doesn’t work in engaging the skeptic in our preaching? It doesn’t work to make church a place where we keep everybody happy or a place where we make everybody believe. What might work is when we show the skeptic how tough issues that seem inexplicable on their own fit well when you look at the bigger picture of the gospel story. That was Part 2. Listen for more...

    Preaching That Engages the Skeptic: What? (Part 2) | Daniel McCoy

    Click here to read the full article at RENEW.org: https://renew.org/preaching-that-engages-the-skeptic-what-part-2/  This is an audio version of a written Article from RENEW.org Check out other great articles on RENEW.org here: https://renew.org/articles/ Skepticism about Christianity is on the rise. That’s why we need to engage the skeptic in our preaching. The skeptic isn’t just “out there”; he or she is sitting in your church. Perhaps they’re confused and hoping for solid answers. In this article, we’re going to look at what doesn’t work and what might work when it comes to preaching that engages the skeptic. Before we get to what doesn’t and does work, let’s take a moment to list some of the tough questions people in your church are likely wrestling with. Here are some examples of questions they might be asking: Listen for more...

    Preaching That Engages the Skeptic: Why (Part 1) | Daniel McCoy

    Click here to read the full article at RENEW.org: https://renew.org/preaching-that-engages-the-skeptic-why-part-1/  This is an audio version of a written Article from RENEW.org Check out other great articles on RENEW.org here: https://renew.org/articles/ In Charade, a 1963 movie starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, dangerous thieves have been cheated out of their stolen money by a fellow thief. Apparently, they kill the thief but aren’t able to recover the money. So, they turn their attention toward the widow, a woman named Regina (played by Audrey Hepburn). Unfortunately, this is all a surprise to her, as she wasn’t even aware her husband had been a thief. Nice but mysterious “Peter” (played by Cary Grant) befriends Regina. At first, Regina thinks Peter is helping her, protecting her from the thieves. The problem is that “Peter” keeps switching identities. First, he’s just a random American named Peter. When pressed about his identity, he shifts from Peter to Alexander (brother to one of the dead thieves), to Adam (a professional thief, but still a nice guy), to Brian (who works for the American government). Regina is extraordinarily confused. Plus, she’s starting to fall in love with him—whoever he is. Listen for more...

    Jesus Is God the Son? Exploring the Logic of Jesus’ Deity | Daniel McCoy

He was somehow a God-man, God “incarnate.” But does this belief make logical sense? If you’d like to delve into some of the major reasons Christians believe that Jesus was both God and human, you might click here. But even if you conclude that this is what the Bible teaches about Jesus, doesn’t it seem a little illogical? In this article, we’re going to look into a couple reasons why people see the deity of Christ as an illogical belief. Can miracles happen—logically? Listen for more...

    Is God Silent? Making Sense of “Divine Hiddenness” | Brett Seybold

    Click here to read the full article at RENEW.org: https://renew.org/is-god-silent-making-sense-of-divine-hiddenness/  This is an audio version of a written Article from RENEW.org Check out other great articles on RENEW.org here: https://renew.org/articles/ Is God silent when we can’t sense him? Although many who seek God find him, others experience him as hidden and absent. What are we to make of this “divine hiddenness”?  Often, we struggle to believe in and trust God, not necessarily because we fail to recognize His existence or suppress evidence of His existence, but rather because, at times, He just seems so silent. Perhaps you’ve cried out to God, and it seemed as if He didn’t answer you. Or maybe you received a different answer than the one you were hoping for. So, why isn’t God more obvious? What are we to make of God’s apparent silence? Listen for more...

    Did the Gospels Borrow from Pagan Mythology? | Daniel McCoy

    Click here to read the full article at RENEW.org: https://renew.org/did-the-gospels-borrow-from-pagan-mythology/  This is an audio version of a written Article from RENEW.org Check out other great articles on RENEW.org here: https://renew.org/articles/ Mythology in the Greco-Roman world had dying and rising god-men—Apollo, Asclepius, Hercules, Tammuz. Serapis was called Lord. Half the Greek gods were said to be born of virgins. Hercules ascended to heaven. Just how unique is Jesus’ deity? What’s original about Jesus as being born of a virgin and being the Son of God? Is there something to the claim that these teachings of Christianity weren’t original, but were borrowed from pagan mythology? Let’s look at a couple possible parallels. Isis and Osiris were Egyptian deities, with Isis being the goddess of heaven, earth, sea, and underworld and Osiris being her husband. According to one myth, Osiris’s brother murdered him and sank his coffin into the Nile. Isis recovered the body, which the brother discovered, dismembered into fourteen pieces, and scattered all over Egypt. In some versions of the story, Osiris came back to life (so that Isis and Osiris were able to conceive their son Horus), while in other versions, he became king of the underworld. Perhaps this myth was one of the sources behind the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection? Or perhaps of his baptism (since Osiris was killed and buried in the Nile)? Listen for more...

    What Is the Gospel? | Bobby Harrington

    Click here to read the full article at RENEW.org: https://renew.org/the-gospel/  This is an audio version of a written Article from RENEW.org Check out other great articles on RENEW.org here: https://renew.org/articles/ Let me start by stating the simplified answer to the question, “What is the gospel?” The “gospel” is an expression in Scripture that simply means “good news.” It is best to think of the gospel in three related parts. The Gospel – Jesus is the Messiah, the promised saving King described in Scripture. He came into our world as God’s Son from heaven, and he died for our sins and rose from the dead. He is now enthroned at God’s right hand, and he is coming back as humanity’s Judge. Gospel Benefits – Jesus offers you forgiveness, right standing with God, hope, his indwelling presence, and new life in his kingdom now and after you die, in eternity. Gospel Response – You respond by making the decision to place your faith in Jesus and his gospel, which means you will trust and follow Jesus in all things. You turn to Jesus by turning from your sinful lifestyle, by verbally expressing your faith in him and by surrendering to his new life in water baptism. Now that you know where I am going, can we step back and look at some deeper issues within how to define the gospel? Listen for more...
