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....

Psalm 112 and the Man Who Will Never Be Shaken
Reading through the Psalms is a wonderful experience. You could park on one for days mining the depths for nuggets of truth into the greatness of our God. And God is the point of all 150 of them. One of the reasons the Psalms have been so beloved over the millennia is...
Psalm 73: When I Tried to Understand All This . . . Circumstances People
Christians love the Psalms because we can relate to how they portray the messiness of life in a fallen world, and Psalm 73 is one of the most relatable. It starts with the fundamental Christian perspective on all things: 1 Surely God is good to Israel,to those who...
Stars in the Sky, Sand on the Seashore and Psalm 2
What if we are in the early church? Such a question would have appeared absurd to me not too long ago, but no longer. I’m now inclined to answer in the affirmative. As I no longer believe we’re necessarily in the “end times” (i.e., Jesus coming back any day), I now...

The Stupefying Complexity, Functionality, and Beauty of Creation: God is the Only Explanation!
When I pray in the morning it seems that I always start praising God for revealing himself to us in creation, Scripture, and Christ. Each means of God revealing himself to us astounds and flabbergasts me in its own way.
What do YOU See in a Romaine Leaf?
This appears to be a strange question. You might answer, I see a leaf of Romaine lettuce, and of course you would be right, but you would also be wrong. Am I contradicting myself? No. The leaf, as with all created things, points beyond itself. So yes, the leaf is a...
Darwinists are Modern Alchemists, Only with Less Credibility
Since the great enemy of Darwinism Phillip Johnson went to be with the Lord recently, I've been listening to talks and interviews he gave over the years, and seeing again why he was such a formidable opponent to those espousing the bankrupt theory of evolution. He...

You May Say to Yourself . . .
What is the first thing that came into your mind when you read the title of this post? Before I answer about mine, one of my sons is reading through the Bible and recently came to me with a quote from Deuteronomy 8: 17 You may say to yourself, “My power and the...
DJ Stephen ‘tWitch’ Suicide and the Bankruptcy of Secularism
The entertainment world was hit with a suicide last week that appeared inconceivable to the secular minds that inhabit “Hollywood” and most of America. I wasn’t planning on writing anything about it because I have written about suicide here before and asked the...
Ubiquitous Homosexuality and The Sinner
What percentage of Americans self-identify as gay or lesbian? I asked some friends and family several years ago, and the answers ranged from 25 to 40%. They were surprised when I said the actual number (according to a massive CDC study) is under 2%. Just the other day...

I Corinthians 15:1-8 – Our Creed: The Resurrection and the Eyewitnesses
As we come upon the Easter celebration, albeit in very odd times, I thought I'd share some thoughts from my meditations upon one of the most important chapters in all of the Bible. In it Paul deals extensively with the resurrection of Christ, and the resurrection of...
The Cosmological Argument: Can Something Really Come from Nothing?
If that question doesn't make you laugh, you haven't thought about it enough. I listened to a podcast the other day on the cosmological argument. Simply, it is a philosophical argument for God's existence that everything that comes to exist has a cause, that there...
Can Meaning Be Found Between The Polls of Meaning-Less-Ness?
In a universe without God, we come from a meaningless past, and are destined for a meaningless future; we came from chance for no reason at all with no purpose at all, and are hurdling through this eye blinking thing called life toward extinction.

If We Want to Win the Culture War, Have More Kids!
It's kind of apparent that we are in a culture war. Make no mistake, conservative Christians didn't start it, but we can't escape it. Christianity had a great run in Western civilization as the default view of reality, over 1,500 years! That, of course, is no longer...
As Our Son (Doesn’t) Goes Off to College, I Am Confident his Faith will Endure and Thrive
I’d been waiting to write a post about our youngest son going off to college, but because of a ridiculous overreaction to a certain virus he’s not going.
Watch Woody Allen’s “Hannah and Her Sisters” With Your Kids!
Well, probably teenager kids. It's Woody Allen, after all. My wife and I recently re-watched Hannah and Her Sisters with our two sons (our daughter wasn't available; she's married), and it was an incredibly wonderful apologetics moment. I've argued that a secular...
