Gay Teen Suicide:
A Christian Response

A recent spate of suicides by teenagers like Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi has raised concerns of Americans on two fronts: gay youth feeling so marginalized and worthless that they resort to taking their own lives, and the bullying which so often accompanies their desperation. In fact, anti-bullying campaigns are becoming quite noticeable.

Sue Bohlin, a Probe veteran who serves on the board and as a speaker for Living Hope Ministries, a Christ–centered outreach to those dealing with unwanted homosexuality, helps concerned Christians respond through this timely opinion piece.

When "just trust Jesus" won't cut it

Contemporary Apologetics Course 2011:
Thursday evenings, Jan. 13-March 17

Ever feel stuck when trying to explain your beliefs? Wonder what to do when something on TV or in a movie just doesn't ring true, but you can't pinpoint why? Or do you simply want to bolster confidence in your Christian worldview? Even working toward a theology degree?

Many believers--even those from good churches--have no idea how captive they are to the culture. Even theologically well–taught believers can lack the tools to discern well in a complicated and confusing world of competing truth claims, world religions, negation of the Bible and materialist–hijacked science.

In this course, you'll be exposed to foundational truth in these areas:

  • The Self Revealing God
  • The Authority of the Bible
  • The Resurrection
  • Christ's Deity
  • Miracles and Pluralism
  • The Problem of Evil
  • Religion and Science and
  • Bioethics and the Environment

Three Ways to Fit Your Interest Level:

  • Non-Credit—sit in on a seminary class taught by experts in making the complicated plain, but without the assignments
  • Certificate—take the class for non-credit and complete a certain percentage of assignments to earn a Probe certificate!
  • Seminary Credit—fully participate in all assignments and receive 2 hours credit through Dallas Theological Seminary!

Held in the Hope Center, Plano, Texas.

MICHAEL GLEGHORN --"
As Charles Haddon Spurgeon once observed, there are very few things as uplifting for the heart and the mind as a serious study of the being and attributes of God. Hopefully, this little article on God's omnipresence will encourage some others to take up such studies for themselves. They won't be disappointed."
