Contemporary Issues: Religious Issues Discussed in Our Day

Contemporary issues articles deal with topics and questions that are either current, or that have come up in recent years. They offer some insights to consider from God’s Word on a multitude of subjects.

We are inundated with many voices, each claiming to have the truth. How are we to evaluate what is being said on contemporary issues? The key to our assessment lies in a careful study of the Word of God. As the Lord Jesus said to His heavenly Father, “Your word is truth” (Jn. 17:17).

Truth is not to be decided on the basis of a democratic vote, but on the basis of what God has said. Even if the Scriptures stand alone, they remain true. “Let God be true but every man a liar” (Rom. 3:4).
