Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 5022. Human dignity is the worth that belongs to every human being simply because God made us in His own image, and that single sentence carries more weight than whole libraries of philosophy. Everyone talks about dignity. Politicians invoke it, charters enshrine it, campaigners march for it. But ask the modern world where human…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 5003. The question of gender identity has moved from academic journals to school classrooms in a single generation, and Christians cannot avoid it. The claim now made is that a person’s inner sense of gender can be separated from, and can override, the sex of their body. Does the Bible support that separation? I…
Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 5002. The Bible treats human sexuality as one of God’s good gifts, given before sin ever entered the world, and that starting point changes everything. Our culture talks about sex constantly, yet rarely asks the one question that matters most: what did the Maker intend? If human sexuality is a divine design rather than…
Reading Time: 9 minutesQuestion 1100. Social justice is a phrase that can mean almost anything depending on who is using it, and I think that ambiguity is exactly why the question deserves careful unpacking rather than a reflexive yes or no. Scripture has an enormous amount to say about justice, about the poor, the widow, the orphan and…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 12015 The Bible does not mention contraception directly. There is no verse that says “thou shalt not use contraception” and no verse that says “family planning is commended.” This means the question must be approached through broader biblical principles rather than proof texts. Christians who hold strong convictions on both sides of this question…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 12016 In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a deeply personal and often painful subject. Many couples who pursue it have experienced years of heartbreak through infertility, and the desire for a child is one of the most natural and God-given longings a human being can have. The Bible does not address IVF directly, since the…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 12017 This is a question the church cannot avoid, and one that must be answered with both clarity and compassion. The Bible speaks directly and consistently on the subject of homosexuality, and it does so within a broader framework of God’s design for human sexuality that is positive, purposeful, and good. The contemporary debate…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 12019 The question of transgenderism is one of the most pressing cultural and pastoral challenges facing the church today. It touches on some of the deepest questions human beings can ask: Who am I? What does it mean to be male or female? Is my body part of who I am, or is it…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 11007 Few pastoral questions are more painful than those involving divorce. When a marriage is in crisis, people want to know: Does God ever permit divorce? What are the biblical grounds? What about remarriage? These questions deserve careful, compassionate answers from Scripture. God’s Design: Marriage is Permanent We must begin with God’s ideal. When…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 11088 For many things in Christian life, this question has a straightforward answer: Scripture names them, and that settles it. But there is a genuine and growing category of situations, particularly in contemporary life, where the specific action is not mentioned in the Bible and where Christians may hold quite different views. How do…
