Does God Require Evil to Display His Glory?

Pilgrim's Rock Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - Does God Require Evil to Display His Glory? - Yellow Cactus Flower with Prickles

We come to our fourth and last post on the relationship of good and evil. Scripture clearly teaches that God displayed His glory in the person and saving work of Christ. In fact, nowhere is God’s glory more clearly seen than in Christ. Does it follow, then, that evil is necessary for God to display […]

Is Evil Required to Know Good?

Pilgrim's Rock Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - Is Evil Required to Know Good? - Red Paint Splotch on Tan Canvas

Is the existence and knowledge of moral evil necessary for the knowledge of good? And if so, would that not easily explain how evil exists in a universe created by a holy God of infinite power who both hates evil and could have prevented it? Let’s see… Good Food in the Garden Going back to […]

Does Free Will Require the Option to Choose Evil?

Pilgrim's Rock Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - Does Free Will Require the Option to Choose Evil? - Red on Black Iconic Man

The option to choose evil as necessary for God to create beings with a free will is sometimes said to explain why evil exists in a world created by a holy God of infinite power. At first glance, it looks like a reasonable explanation for the existence of evil. But, is moral evil as necessary […]

Is Evil the Equal Opposite of Good?

Pilgrim's Rock Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - Is Evil the Equal Opposite of Good? - Barb Wire Sunset

First of a four-part series on the relationship of good and evil. God Is the Only Standard of Good No standard of goodness exists apart from God, and no standard of evil can exist without reference to God’s goodness. God cannot be subject to a standard of good outside Himself, and He alone embodies and […]

5 Reasons Atheists Can’t Know that God Does Not Exist

Is There a God? - 5 Reasons Atheists Can't Know that God Does Not Exist by Dr. Craig Biehl - www.crosswalk.com

A recent Barna research study confirmed what many of us already knew – our society is becoming more inclined to dismiss the concept of a Creator. The study showed that one in four un-churched adults are either atheists or agnostics. Twenty years ago, 18 percent of skeptics were under 30 years old. Today that proportion […]

The Myth of Faith Versus Reason

The Myth of Faith vs Reason by Dr Craig Biehl www.challies.com

Are You Rattled or Ready? Have you ever been told, “you have faith but I trust reason and science”? Does the suggestion that you believe fairy tales while unbelievers stand on facts and solid intellectual ground bother you? Can you easily answer the claim and prepare your children to answer this and the many other […]

How to Refuse a Bit Part in an Idiot’s Tale

Pilgrim's Rock Blog Posts by Dr. Craig Biehl - How to Refuse a Bit Part in an Idiot’s Tale - Two clowns giving high five

Two Paths Believers travel on a “path of life” where “fullness of joy” abides “forevermore” (Psalm 16:11). Created and adored by a God of infinite excellence, our earthly delight in God’s goodness gives a small taste of the boundless love and happiness we will enjoy forever in our future home with God. The journey of […]

Overjoyed in Our Robe of Righteousness

Pilgrim's Rock Blog Posts by Dr. Craig Biehl - Overjoyed in Our Robe of Righteousness - Clouds and light in sky photo

As God is glorified in the display and communication of His holiness and happiness, and as that display and communication is by the grand medium of Christ in His redemptive work, so the saints’ happiness in heaven will be as participants in God’s ultimate purpose in viewing and loving Christ and His redemptive work. “The […]

The Wishful Atheist

Pilgrim's Rock Blog Posts by Dr. Craig Biehl - The Wishful Atheist - Wishing Well

High Ground or Thin Air? Atheists claim the high ground of reason and science while viewing Christian faith as blind and wishful thinking. But could the opposite be true? Could atheism be unreasonable wishful thinking, while Christianity is both reasonable and consistent with what we know of the universe? A Limited View We begin by […]

Corrie ten Boom Meets Lieutenant Rahms

Pilgrim's Rock Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - Corrie ten Boom Meets Lieutenant Rahms - Nazi Officer's Uniform

Shortly after her arrest and imprisonment for protecting Jews from the Nazi reign of terror, Corrie ten Boom met with Lieutenant Rahms, her pensive and troubled interrogator. He showed Corrie unusual kindness in his initial visits, though Corrie rightly suspected he was manipulating her to gain information about others involved in harboring Jews. Corrie spoke […]
