Christianity is Sociologically True: Personal and Societal Transformation
On Twitter recently I saw this short video of a young British Journalist, Louise Perry, explain why she became a Christian. In 2022 she published a book called, The Case Against the Sexual Revolution, which indicates like many secularist liberals she had been mugged...
Conflict vs. Conquest in Our Fallen World: A Tale of Two Perspectives
For my entire Christians life, from the fall of 1978 to August of 2022, I believed the nature of the Christian life in this fallen world was a conflict between good and evil, the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. I assumed, but didn’t think much about it, that...
Mass Shooters: It’s All About Parents
I wrote this post before Charlie Kirk was assassinated, but the principles apply there as well. It seems my title has sadly turned into a pun. Death has once again, as we all know by now, come in another shooting at a school by a mentally ill person targeting kids....

Ezekiel: “Then They Will Know That I Am the Lord”
As I was reading through Ezekiel I was struck by how many times the Lord used this phrase, approximately 65 times. It’s fascinating because there is nothing like it in any other book of the Old Testament, and it’s not even close. It seems the Lord was trying to get...
Christ Or Caesar? Theonomy or Autonomy? Liberty or Tyranny?
These stark choices confront us like a brick in the face as they haven’t for a long time in Western history. They offer us a moral clarity that comes from the blessing of leftist, woke cultural Marxist overreach that began when Barack Obama assumed the presidency in...
Heart of Stone and Flesh, and a Valley of Dry Bones
I can’t be reading through the Bible and just pass Ezekiel 36 and 37 without comment. It has to be among my favorite passages in Scripture because it so wonderfully captures the monergistic nature of God’s working in us as I understand our salvation from sin. The word...

Happy New Year! Another One Closer to Death!
I'm such a Debbie Downer! I can't help it. After I became a Christian when I was 18, I haven't been able to attend or see a New Year's celebration with out being struck by how ridiculous it all is. Do not these people, I always think, realize that they are celebrating...
God in Christ: Inconceivably Conceivable, Incomprehensibly Comprehensible, Unbelievably Believable!
I don't know about you, but I find this whole spiritual, Christian, life after death, life is more than matter thing very hard to believe at times. Scripture tells us we live by faith, and not by sight, but I find it so much easier to live by sight and not by faith!...
Testimonies: God in Christ is Real, and Transforming Lives All Over the World!
Given I spend my days in front of two computers, one for work, and one for me, I've started listening to Christian conversion testimonies on Youtube when I have busy work to do. For reasons related to my Christian fundamentalist past, I've tended to downplay the...

School Shootings: The Triumph of Secularism
It has happened again, this time at a Christian grade school in Nashville. When I first heard about it, and it was reported a female was the shooter, that didn’t compute. Women are never mass shooters. Then I learned this: Three adults and three children were killed...
What is a Revival? Asbury And What Revival We Need
There has been a lot of news recently about a revival at Asbury University, a Methodist school in Kentucky. In The American Conservative, Rod Dreher asks, “An extraordinary movement of the Holy Spirit at a Kentucky college chapel -- is it for real?” By real he means...
Matt Walsh, Voddie Baucham, The Trans Guy, and the Reality of Stigma
I stumbled on the video below about the drama surrounding Matt Walsh speaking brutal truth to some guy pretending to be a woman. You have to see this guy pretending to believe he is actually a sexy woman to believe it. Appropriate words fail when you encounter...

God’s Amazing Goodness and My Apologetics315 Interview
I had an interview recently about my book with a website that has special meaning in my Christian journey, Apologetics315. God, as he often does with his children, made this uniquely special for me as I'll explain. When I became a Christian at Arizona State...
Third Time’s A Charm—The Persuasive Christian Parent is Finally Available!
I made one of the big mistakes of my life back when I was a young Christian some four decades ago. I asked God to give me patience . . . . and I've been waiting ever since! Writing a book, and finally getting a version up I'm not embarrassed by, has been a long, long...
The Human Brain: Praise Chance!
Reading through Denton's book is a mind blower. As I'm reading I keep thinking, I have to quote and write about this, then that, then this, then that, but when I got to his discussion of the human brain it was just too much. The complexity is staggering. To think that...

Marx is Smiling: On The Importance of Fathers
Somebody told me there is this thing called Father's Day, and I couldn't believe I actually get my own day! If greeting card companies were going to make up a day in which to sell a lot of greeting cards, having a day for fathers is a mighty fine way to do it. They...
Act Like Men! It’s Right from the Bible
We know in this excessively "woke" age we live in that the Bible is terribly regressive, and of course we Neanderthal's wouldn't have it any other way. One thing we know that our overly-educated elite refuse to admit, is that there is a biological, psychological, and...
A Response to The Misunderstanding of My Critics, Part 3
This will be my final word in writing about the issues introduced on my book page, and discussed on Take 1, and Take 2. I'm kind of proud that I've been able to get Calvinists and Arminians to agree about something regarding salvation. In my experience discussing...
