No water in the lavatory? The “blue screen of death” on the monitors for the whole nine-hour flight? I am not surprised when little things like that happen on a flight to Russia. We live in a fallen world and some parts of it simply has a tendency to “fall” more often. Seriously, the flight was fine and even allowed me an extra chance to review my PhD abstract which was due on the next morning. Unfortunately, they returned it to me with “some minor remarks” and I had to spend a good part of this weekend working on it again. My next due date is Monday, 11 am. Please pray it to be the very last one. [Read more…]

January-February 2013 teaching trip to Russia. Getting ready
Getting ready for the next trip involves connecting with dozens of people over E-mail, phone, and Skype™ to propose (or respond to an invitation); to schedule; and then to confirm each event for my three weeks in Russia. Please pray that my rather intense travel and teaching schedule holds. At this point, I plan to spend most of my time in and around Moscow, with two three-day trips to Southern Russia and then to Karelia. Please also pray for my audiences’ hearts (teachers, students, church leaders) to be open to the Gospel with Evidence!

Are the miracles of Jesus real facts of history?
Some people wonder, “If miracles are real, why don’t we see them today?” To many people, the world they live in seems to have no divine intervention, no interruptions to the natural order, and the dead stay dead. As far as they are concerned the many miracles of the Bible seem more like fairy tales than truth.
What is a miracle? One source defines a miracle as a “divine intervention into, or interruption of, the regular course of the world that produces a purposeful but unusual event that would not have occurred otherwise” (Norman Geisler and Ron Brooks, When Skeptics Ask, [Wheaton: Victor Books, 1990], p. 76). This does not mean that miracles are a violation of natural law. Rather, they have a cause which transcends nature. [Read more…]
