Hold Fast Apologetics

  • An Educational Treasure

    An Educational Treasure

    Do you or a loved-one have earnest questions concerning the reliability of the Bible? If so, please do not suppress these queries, nor place them on the “back burner.” Asking questions is incredibly important! Pursuing truth, in combination with investigating the truth claims we hear/read daily online, is something we…

  • A Mathematical Miracle: Jesus the Messiah

    A Mathematical Miracle: Jesus the Messiah

    Psalm 22, written by King David nearly 1,000 years before Jesus’s crucifixion in AD 30 or 33, was penned 300 years before crucifixion was even invented! And Isaiah 53, “The Suffering Servant,” was drafted 700 years beforehand! Why does this matter? How could we recognize our Savior without evidence to…

  • The High Christology of 1 Corinthians 15

    The High Christology of 1 Corinthians 15

    When someone examines the Christology of the early Church, he or she would survey whether the early followers of Jesus viewed him as fully divine and that pre-existed before becoming human (“High Christology”). One support of this high view of Christology is 1 Corinthians 15. Paul penned 1 Corinthians 15…

  • Stop Signs: An Everyday Reminder of God’s Existence

    Stop Signs: An Everyday Reminder of God’s Existence

    For the entire month of January, my husband and I were given the wonderful opportunity to teach four, 45-minute apologetics classes to 10-15 Middle School students…and we absolutely loved it! Teaching these students was a genuine honor! First of all, it’s incredibly important that I define what Apologetics means. “but…

  • The Problem of Pragmatism: “Wake Up, Church!”

    The Problem of Pragmatism: “Wake Up, Church!”

    Updated post from 2021. “Pragmatism and Sola Scriptura must stand in opposition as each claims to be the key to determining truth. As Christians we need to decide if we are going to depend upon Scripture as the absolute standard of truth or if we will determine truth by consequences.” Tim Challies…

  • Love Defined, Rightly

    Love Defined, Rightly

    Christians should view the Scriptures as Jesus views the Scriptures…as God’s authoritative word, true and unchanging (Mark 7:8-13; Matt. 26:54; Luke 4:21; John 7:38). With this important fact in view on Valentine’s Day, Christians should always look to God’s Word (Bible) as our Dictionary in defining what love is, and…

  • Revival

    “Reformation is a return to the sound doctrine of the Bible. Revival is the practice of that sound doctrine under the power of the Holy Spirit.” Francis Schaeffer Friends, we can know…without a doubt…that the Holy Spirit, who helped the 40+ writers of the 66 books (written over 1600 years…

  • Don’t Neglect Meeting Together

    Remember this: Going to Church doesn’t help God (He doesn’t need anything), it helps you! Most of all— it helps others! Gathering with other believers at church provides an opportunity to be an encouragement to another brother and/or sister! You might not feel as if it’s possible to be an…

  • Investigating Truth Claims

    Investigating Truth Claims

    Seeking-out the #truth is searching for the facts (vs. blindly submitting to “the feels”). For example, we don’t walk across the street without looking both ways. Even if we don’t feel like it. Apathy in that moment would be irresponsible and reckless. Our lives literally depend upon choosing to investigate…
