Responding To Persecutors

Andrew Bernhardt's Home Page Posted on by

Recent YouTube videos have shown increased violence against Christians in Israel. In one example, a nun was pushed to the ground from behind by an unknown assailant. The video mentioned that the danger has reached the point where about half of Christians in Israel are considering leaving for their safety. Comments on the video were negative toward Israel: “Americans, you are funding this!” “We give them billions each year and they hate us. No more money or bombs for Israel!!!” “Evangelicals support all this” “pastors and whole churches defend and donate to israel and israeli programs.” Now, not all Israelis are like this. Many are kind and loving toward their Christian and Palestinian neighbors. But this doesn’t make the news. … Continue reading →

The Storyteller Paradigm to be published in May

Andrew Bernhardt's Home Page Posted on by

My new book, The Storyteller Paradigm, is basically complete. I am waiting for the remaining proofreaders’ inputs. I expect the book to be published late May or early June. Here’s a little sampler from the book: Suffering In The Story Throughout history, mankind has experienced a tremendous amount of suffering and death. This has turned many against God, but it has also brought others closer to Him. Regardless, it oftentimes results in the burning question, “Why?” In stories we write, the main characters are not immune to pain and death. While these may form a significant and essential part of a good story, the story is not about the suffering. We sometimes ask God why we have to suffer or … Continue reading →

Hard Evidence For The Skeptic

Andrew Bernhardt's Home Page Posted on by

Dear skeptic, As a Christian, I am absolutely convinced God exists and the Bible is His word because I have seen and tested the evidence. I have tested His promises, and He always comes through. I also have a personal relationship with Him through Jesus Christ and He often answers my prayers. But I know this is unlikely to sway you because you can’t see that. So instead I want to talk about real, hard evidence. Much of the evidence for God and the Bible is not even on the atheist’s radar. As such, I wrote a free book for skeptics to show one such area of overlooked, testable evidence that strongly supports the existence of God and the inspiration … Continue reading →

Fifty-Five Questions For Skeptics 2025 Update

Andrew Bernhardt's Home Page Posted on by

If you’ve attempted to work through the questions in my book Fifty-Five Questions For Skeptics, you know finding answers to the first eleven takes some serious effort. That effort may have discouraged you from answering the remaining questions. I know, for after I began researching the answers, I never finished myself. But with recent advances in artificial intelligence, tools have become available that make this kind of research easy for anyone with an internet connection. Elon Musk’s GROK is quite popular now, and I have found it an ideal tool for a layman like myself to tackle those pesky questions. I spent today feeding GROK the first eleven questions, adding the full, unedited responses to my book as a new … Continue reading →

Cycle Of Discipleship Study

Andrew Bernhardt's Home Page Posted on by

Before he died in 1999, Dr. William (Bill) Lane (not William Lane Craig) presented a study of Mark 3:13-6:32 that he called the Cycle of Discipleship. This study last aired in February 2022 as a three-part discussion on the In The Studio With Michael Card radio program. Dr. Lane said the cycle of discipleship consists of three phases: The first phase began with Jesus’ call for the disciples to be with Him in various situations. The second phase began when Jesus sent out His disciples to speak His word and do His work. They acted as His apostles or shaliachim… his legal representatives. The third phase was when the disciples returned to Jesus to report on all they said and … Continue reading →
