In this clip, Dr. Frank Turek (CrossExamined.org) breaks down the true biblical definition of love. Using 1 Corinthians 13, he explains why real love requires standing up for the truth rather than enabling harmful choices or prioritizing social peace over God's standards. Watch how Dr. Turek addresses the struggle Christians face when loved ones embrace unbiblical lifestyles, explaining why "fraternity often overcomes theology" and offering a practical, question-based strategy to speak hard truths with love: youtu.be/0y-kManw6Hk Ready to explore how modern science and biblical truth seamlessly align?

Multiple biological codes point to design. Molecular biology continues to uncover sophisticated layers of genetic control that go far beyond basic DNA sequences. The discovery of inheritable epigenetic tags and functional regulatory networks inside so-called "junk DNA" challenges simple evolutionary models. Complex, overlapping information processing systems strongly suggest an intentional design originating from a supreme intellect.

🔴NEW VIDEO! Reaching high-level intellectuals and skeptics with the gospel requires an entirely different layer of patience. Pastoring a church directly situated between Caltech and the Skeptics Society, Dr. Hugh Ross has spent decades watching atheists walk through his doors specifically to "sharpen their claws" on Christians—only to eventually surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. Explore how modern science and biblical truth seamlessly align: youtu.be/KfOQTPeNJW8 In this video, Dr. Ross shares hilarious and profound stories of cross-cultural ministry right here at home. From the morning five physicists stood up to challenge a pastor mid-sermon to a scientist trying to solve the Book of Titus using advanced equations on a blackboard, he breaks down why we cannot rush the conversion process for deep thinkers. He explains how to build cultural bridges with people who think differently, why testing ideas rigorously is a biblical command, and why intellectuals often do all their discipleship work before making a public commitment.

God doesn't call us to hide our flaws or pretend we have it all together. Our weaknesses aren't barriers to His work—they're the exact places His power is made visible. When we step out in faith, our brokenness shows the world that the grace we carry is from Him, not ourselves. Send this to a friend who needs to hear this.

When election season rolls around, it's easy to look at the top of the ticket and feel completely stuck if you don't like either candidate. But Dr. Frank Turek argues that voting for a president isn't actually about choosing just one person—it’s about appointing an entire administration of roughly 5,000 bureaucrats, judges, and staff who will enforce a specific agenda. Watch how Dr. Turek breaks down why believers need to prioritize policy over personality and focus on the weightier matters of the law: youtu.be/w1pGTQ8M6rY He tackles the common myth that you can't legislate morality, confronts the cultural silence of the modern church, and introduces a series of powerful resources designed to help you navigate a secular culture, including his updated voter guide tool.

What convinced Antony Flew about God? Complex biological information requires an intelligent mind to explain its existence and organization. Leading philosophers and thinkers have abandoned atheism after recognizing the mathematical impossibility of life originating through unguided chemical processes. Intricate genetic code serves as clear empirical evidence pointing directly to an ultimate Mind behind creation. Share this reel with someone interested in science and the case for God.

Early Christian creeds date to the 30s AD. Essential Christian doctrines regarding the deity, death, and resurrection of Jesus were formally summarized within just a few years of the actual events. Skeptics often attempt to frame these core beliefs as late legendary developments, but historical analysis of early oral creeds places them directly in the 30s AD. The foundational claims of Christianity were firmly established right from the very beginning. Early dates for Christian creeds matter primarily because they close the time gap between the events of Jesus' life and the written record, which significantly undermines the theory that core Christian doctrines developed as legendary embellishments over generations.
