    RH:53 The Plausibility of Christianity in the Face of Hypocrisy

    A popular objection to Christianity is that there are hypocrites in the church. What is involved in this objection to Christianity? Is it a good one? I argue that, contrary to what many perceive, the moral presuppositions of this objection are consistent with Christianity.

    RH:52 The Confrontation of Christmas

    Christmastime provides an opportunity to reflect on what we believe about the most important questions. We are confronted with the person of Jesus Christ and the gospel message. Despite this reality, many do not take Jesus seriously or think He is relevant to their lives. The result is that the Christmas season becomes spiritually shallow. In this episode, I discuss how both intellectual apathy and distraction function as spiritual barriers for many people. In addition, I explain how the gospel provides an antidote to these vices.

    RH:51 Why Social Justice is Not the Gospel

    Was Jesus a social justice warrior? Is the Kingdom of God advanced through social and political activism? Many voices tell us this is the right way to think about Jesus and the Kingdom of God. But is this accurate to the teaching of the Bible? In this episode, I distinguish between the social justice gospel and the gospel of Jesus Christ. I argue these are very different messages and that the social justice gospel is a false gospel not taught in the Bible.

    RH:50 Some Thoughts on the Resurrection of Jesus

    RH:49 What Does it Mean to Worship God?

    There is a lot in the Bible about worshiping and praising God. Do the commands and passages that refer to this mean that God is arrogant, self-absorbed, or even needy? While the commands to worship and praise God are often taken for granted by Christians, they raise good questions that help us clarify what this means. In this episode, I look at some things CS Lewis had to say about the worship of God.

    RH:48 Can We Know if God Exists?

    Is humanity in a position to know if God exists? If not, this means that claims to know that God exists are groundless. Agnosticism, in its strong form, says that we are unable to have knowledge of God. What does this view involve and is it a credible objection to belief in God?
