Believing a Person
March 13, 2022 | By Felix Perez Diener H’23
Over and over in the Scriptures is a call to a specific verb––believe. As Christians, God calls us to love one another, to care for the poor, to make disciples––but no action seems as closely tied to salvation as belief.
The Gardener and the Grower
March 16, 2021 | By Gabbi Zegers ‘21
“What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth… For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 3:5-6,11
What We Talk About When We Talk About Miracles
Sept 15, 2020 | By Serena Puang DC ‘22+1
In 2019, members of Bethel Church implored the world to join them in asking God to raise two-year-old Olive Heiligenthal from the dead. For six days, people gathered to pray, worship, and declare resurrection power over Olive, but she never woke up.
Incidents like these and more everyday occurrences such as seemingly unanswered prayers for loved ones make it hard to trust accounts of miracles or even hope that they will come. Sometimes the seemingly unanswered prayer is waved off by the supplicant’s lack of faith. Alternatively, it is seen as proof that no higher being is listening.
"Is Anything Worth Believing In?" The Veritas Forum with John Lennox
April 2, 2013 | by Travis Reginal BK '16
On Saturday, February 23rd, John Lennox rolled onto Yale’s campus for the first time to speak on the question “Is Anything Worth Believing In?” It was part of the widely popular Veritas Forum that brings speakers to campuses in the Northeast to speak on the big issues. Yale lecturer in philosophy, Greg Ganssle, helped to facilitate John Lennox’s argument for Christianity by clarifying some of the claims Lennox made and at times pushed back on them. The event was very much anticipated in the Christian community, as a way to bring skeptical friends to hear someone discuss religion logically, and for the skeptical community it was an opportunity to see a moment where John Lennox may falter and give them a reason for their unbelief.
Psalm 13
By Bradley Yam, SY ‘21. Bradley is majoring in Ethics, Politics & Economics.
I remember when I walked in knowledge that you love me, I remember when I thought of you and felt only joy, I remember when I was sure that you were so near to me, I could almost reach out and touch you.
