Last month one of our campus societies sponsored a Color Run for the student body and faculty. For those who don’t know, a Color Run is an untimed 5K event in which the goal is to finish the race plastered in a rainbow of brilliantly colored powders. The original Color Run organization, which began in…
We have gotten some questions about the Korean Children’s Choir singing at BJU, especially since the choir is sponsored by well-known Korean pastor and evangelist Billy Kim. There was a ministry split between Billy Kim and most of fundamentalism back in 1973 when he interpreted for Billy Graham in his Korean campaigns. …
Is the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ a hoax? Does one commit intellectual suicide by believing in the resurrection? Others may wonder, “What does it really matter? What difference does it make if Jesus did rise again?” The resurrection does matter because life matters. If Jesus rose again from the dead, then we have assurance we…

Paola took her plastic replica of the Old Testament tabernacle and skillfully illustrated God’s holiness, justice, love and grace – The…
The incredible teaching of Jesus in the story of the “Rich man and Lazarus” indisputably teaches the reality of hell. This story is not a parable as Jesus tells of a particular rich man and a poor man named Lazarus. In no parable is a personal name ever given. This story teaches the reality of…
The recent tragedy of the shooting in Florida reminds us once again of man’s depravity and his need for salvation through Jesus Christ to receive a changed heart. The wake of this egregious crime certainly has spurred debate about guns, but common sense recognizes the truth of the adage, “The only thing that stops a…
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. Psalm 147:5 We worship an omniscient God.
