Ken Ham The more teenagers engage with their Christian faith, the more tension they feel. That’s the conclusion of a new study from Barna and Christ in Youth that looked at Gen Alpha (today’s teens) and how they connect their faith with the world around them. The study looked at “Faith-Activated teens,” defined as those who “score high across six dimensions of lived-out Christian faith, from spiritual practice to service to a sense of calling,” and it found that: What does this mean? It would seem that those with the strongest faith are the ones struggling the most with this “tension.” Barna explains: “A teen…

Ken Ham. God formed earth for mankind. Isaiah 45:18 declares, “For thus says Yahweh, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it; He established it and did not create it a formless place, but formed it to be inhabited), ‘I am Yahweh, and there is none else.’” In Genesis 1:26, we read, “Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, so that they will have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing…

Ken Ham Over the years, I’ve had so many pastors tell me that they avoid preaching the early chapters of Genesis in their churches because it’s just too controversial and can cause division. To avoid ruffling feathers, many pastors avoid it, or if they must teach those early chapters, they are often very vague, not taking a position on Genesis or presenting all the positions and letting their congregation choose for themselves. But this approach has had major negative consequences! You see, our biblical worldview is grounded in the history in Genesis. Think about it: To answer any of these…

Ken Ham. The Bible uses strong language to describe any form of compromise with worldly thinking. And it doesn’t just apply to the ancient Israelites. Hosea 4:12 says, “My people ask counsel from their wooden idols, and their [wooden] staff informs them. For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to stray, and they have played the harlot against their God.” Hosea used strong language against his fellow Israelites, calling them harlots because they had violated their vows to remain faithful to the one true God. Is it possible that Christians today, and particularly Christian leaders—in their zeal to make Christianity more enticing—are actually…
