In the last issue of Solid Ground, I raised a question that may have startled some readers. I asked if the current emphasis on “hearing” the voice of God is biblically sound.

C.S. Lewis seems to suggest that those who sincerely pursue God the best way they know how are accepted by Him, regardless of whether or not they explicitly put their faith in Jesus. Is he right?

The Bible is either a book written by men about God, or it’s a book authored (ultimately) by God and given to men. Those are the alternatives. If the former, it’s prone to all the errors, flaws,...

Jesus, though a true human, was no mere mortal. Rather, He was and is God’s Son, the world’s unique, one-and-only Savior; and if Jesus were not God the Son, He could not be the Savior, either.
