The Heavens Declare the Glory of God: How Creation Points to the Existence of God
Is it rational to believe in God or do we need take a blind leap in the dark? I believe it is quite rational. While we know that God exists through the testimony of the Scriptures as well as the Spirit within us, we can also know that God exists through the existence and design of the universe. First, the very existence of the universe testifies to the existence of God. In my philosophy course, I tell my students that if rocks exist, then God exists. How so?

5 Tips for Avoiding Volunteer Burnout
Churches do not usually burn people out because they care too little about ministry. More often, they burn people out because they care too little about process. The problem is not always the people. The problem is often the pathway. When churches exhaust people, they blame the situation rather than the process. They say no one wants to serve. They say people are less committed than they used to be. They say the same few people always step up. Sometimes all of that feels true.

Sports Betting ‘factors out God’
RENO, Nev. (BP) – Danny started betting on high school sports at age 12. He was good at it, so by 14 he had $80,000 in a bank account and a fake ID he used for gambling. That’s when his parents took him to see the family’s pastor, Joe Taylor at South Reno Baptist Church in Reno, Nev. Gambling “is all I think about,” Danny told the pastor. “I’m quitting school. My parents are going to kill me, but I’m doing it because I can make a living that way.” And he did – for a while.
