Episode 182: What Are Miracles & Why Does God Do Them?

Christ, Culture, & Coffee

The Bible is full of miracles. Moses, Elijah, Jesus, and the Disciples all performed amazing “signs and wonders”. But what qualifies as a miracle, and how do miracles apply to our lives today? Should we be expecting miracles to happen often? Does answered prayer qualify as a miracle? What about things that seem to be a coincidence? Does God get credit for them? In this episode we look at different classes of miracles and how they apply to our lives. We believe that using the word “miracle” when a miracle has not occurred is damaging to our witness and invites our skeptical friends to scrutinize our beliefs. We want to be clear on what miracles are and use the term in the way that the Bible uses it. We hope that this episode will help you to be a good witness for the God who performs miracles.
