Just as an earthly father lovingly disciplines his child in order to train his child to do what is right, so our Heavenly Father lovingly disciplines His children in order to train us to do what is right(eous). Hardship is not proof of the absence of God’s love…
Is every “something” worth believing in? My issue is not with the causes for which Kaepernick is protesting, my issue is with Nike peddling poor philosophy for profit. This is no maxim to live by. But, the One who is truly worthy to be believed in…
What is “love”? What does love look like? True, crucial, Christ-like love has both a vertical component – joyful, loving obedience to God in Christ – and a horizontal component – self-sacrificially striving for another’s ultimate good.
“Truth,” “Justice,” “Right,” Wrong,” “Success.” Can’t we see how people can use these same key terms but have different definitions? I suspect conversations about controversial issues would be a bit easier if our conceptions of such key terms did not contradict. Perhaps unbeknownst to us, our disagreement often runs much deeper.
What are we training for? Are we training ourselves to be worldly, or are we training ourselves to be godly? Are we training ourselves to resemble the culture, or are we training ourselves to resemble the Christ? Do we have a healthy spiritual diet and exercise routine? In short, are we Cross Training?

Considering the historical evidence that virtually all scholars (including atheists and skeptics) agree upon, believing that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day is an inference to the best explanation…
There seems to be no logical grounds for belief in objective (beyond subjective opinion) moral values and duties without God. If God does not exist, objective moral values and duties do not exist. However, most would affirm that at least some objective moral values and duties do exist. Therefore, it follows that God exists.
If we affirm that there are at least some objective moral laws (beyond our subjective opinions), the most reasonable conclusion is to believe that there is some sort of Moral Lawgiver. This does not mean that atheists are incapable of being “good.” It means that, if atheism were true (as many atheists admit), nothing would be (objectively) good (or bad).
