The Mysterious Epigenome: What Lies Beyond DNA

Many believers don’t understand the importance DNA has on their everyday routines. Healthy lifestyles--and healthy spiritual lives--are very much related to the epigenome, the control system of the cell. It’s time for Christians to learn the amazing and mysterious benefits of understanding what lies beyond DNA. In this creative and inventive treatment, authors Thomas E. Woodward and James P. Gills take readers on an exploration of the human epigenome. Acting as tour guides leading visitors through a 3-D model of a human cell, Woodward and Gills bring to life the human molecular makeup. Readers (as visitors) will get up close and personal with the minute details of human molecular structure, including E. coli, flagellum, a DNA helix, an RNA molecule, and more. By seeing it with their own eyes, readers will gain a better understanding of their genetic systems and a better appreciation for the Creator who put this all into place.

Why Is That in the Bible?

The Most Perplexing Verses and Stories—and What They Teach Us. What should we make of the Bible story about a talking donkey? What about the passage in Joshua where the sun and moon stood still? Should biblical practices like women wearing head coverings still be followed today? The Bible serves as the foundation for all of Christian life, crossing time and transcending cultures, yet many passages are perplexing.

Advice For Parents of College Students

Advice For Parents of College Students Sending your child off to college can be difficult. Parents often struggle with establishing new boundaries and the void created by their child's absence. As an enrollment officer at a private Christian college, I see the issues parents face in helping their children decide which college to attend. As a parent of two college-aged children and one soon-to-be college-aged, I have walked through the college decision process with my two children currently attending college.…

Is College Worth It?

Is College Worth It? By Karly Dooley More and more often, we see skepticism about whether or not a college degree is worth it. It is easy to be intimidated by large dollar figures related to tuition, dorm fees, books, and more when you begin researching potential places to study, but the answer is still a resounding “YES” when it comes to the value of a college education - for so many reasons! Research by the Social Security Administration reported…

3 Ways to Pray for Your Pastor

BY: MATT NOBLE In Hebrews 13 we are told that pastors must give an account for those they watch over (Hebrew 13:7) We see this again in the epistle of James where we are told that pastors will be judged with greater strictness (James 3:1) as they have tremendous influence over the church. Pastors have been given a very weighty task, to shepherd God's people (Acts 20:28). This is an enormous responsibility that at times can be daunting. Certainly, there…

Who is St. Valentine?

BY DR. JOE ALLOTTA: That's the most interesting thing about Valentine's Day to me. We have no idea who St. Valentine is. We know St. Nicholas gave presents to kids. We know St. Patrick was into all things Irish (although his official saint color was blue.) So why is St. Valentine associated with love, hearts, and overpriced greeting cards? Let me share some history and then some commentary: History Valentinus was supposedly an Italian Stallion in the 3rd century who…

Habakkuk’s First Complaint

BY ADAM POWERS: Gazing at or laboring to get a glimpse at the Glory of God is the most practical thing anyone can ever do. Habakkuk teaches us this well. One of the ways the small prophetic book of Habakkuk does this is its personal tone. Most of the other prophetic books are very impersonal, you don't hear a lot about the prophet himself. Usually what we find is God speaking through the prophet to His people dealing with their…

The Object of Our Faith

BY BURK PARSONS: We all struggle with doubt. Some Christians struggle with doubt from time to time, and others struggle with doubt every day. We sometimes doubt because of our indwelling sin or because of the weakness of our faith. We sometimes doubt our salvation. We sometimes doubt God's love for us. We sometimes doubt our election. We sometimes doubt in times of trial. We sometimes doubt that God hears us when we pray. We sometimes doubt that God's promises…

Would Jesus Win Every Event at The Olympics?

BY DR. JOE ALLOTTA: Yes. (Well, I don't think anyone wants to say "No.") My general rule of thumb is that Jesus is the Greatest Ever no matter what we are talking about. Here's what I know: If Jesus Christ's purpose was to be a Swimmer then he'd be better than Michael Phelps. If Jesus Christ's purpose was to be a Gymnast, then He'd be showing up Simone Biles. If Jesus Christ's purpose was to do that sport that combines…

Four Ways God Punishes Sin

BY ADAM POWERS: Lastly, after spending two days on the origin of sin and the character of sin, today I'll briefly discuss the punishment of sin. This is the result of sin in man. All this talk of guilt, pollution, corruption, depravity, and total and moral evil means little if God doesn't take it seriously. Men may make light of it but God doesn't, for He will punish all sin both in this life and in the life to come.…

The Greater David

BY MATT NOBLE: The story of David and Goliath, found in 1 Samuel 17, is a very familiar story for most of us. But let's not miss the important truths in this passage. There are five things to notice here. First: God uses the unlikely. From this passage, we are told that David is young (v 14, 33, 42). As a result, he is not the likely candidate to fight Goliath. But God uses him regardless, and he defeats the…
