Should We Send Our Kids to Public Schools?
It has taken a while for Christians to see public schools in America as an existential threat to their children’s Christian faith. I saw one comment about this topic on Twitter which was the inspiration for this post. The guy said sending your kids to a public school...
Paganism, Telos, and Re-Establishing Christendom
As Christians, our understanding of the world goes back several thousand years to the creation narrative in Genesis, and God calling Abram out of Ur of the Chaldeans, out from his pagan world to become a people of God. Telos, the Greek word for purpose, is critically...
Culture and Making America Christian Again
When I started writing my latest book in early 2022, I knew it would be about the Great Awakening happening all around us, and along the way it also became about the re-founding of America. I didn’t realize until a little later into the journey, specifically after I...

Psalm 115 – What Will it Be? Trust or Fear, Anxiety, and Worry
In my previous post I related how a sermon by our pastor on Psalm 115 inspired me to write about God verses idols.
Psalm 115 – To His Name be the Glory: God and Idols
On Sunday Our pastor preached on Psalm 115 in a service we actually attended in person, praise the Lord! It was a powerful sermon on a profound Psalm that addresses our everyday experience in the 21st century. The first verse sets the tone: Not to us, Lord, not to us...
Christian to Atheist to Christian Again: God’s Story of Redemption
I came across this video at the The Ten Minute Bible Hour of the proprietor, Matt Whitman, giving his de-conversion, and back, story, and at the end of the short video he critiques the now common deconstruction stories, as I discussed in my last post. Growing up a...

Eulogy from a Physicist and the Power of Self-Delusion
My daughter recently went to a funeral for a teenage girl who tragically died from meningitis. Also, tragically from my perspective, her family is part of the Unitarian Universalist faith. As such, they don't believe in a personal God, let alone anything to do with...
Notable Quotations – Explanatory Power
In an inversion of the ancient dictum, we might say: “As below, so above.” What we experience of space “out there” will reflect our inner spiritual state. Perhaps this is why, as glorious as the modern discoveries of the heavens are, they often leave us cold. This is...
The Human Circulatory System – There is a God!
I recently finished reading a book called The Genesis of Science: How the Christian Middle Ages Launched the Scientific Revolution by James Hannam. The title appealed to me when I first heard of the book because of a fiction that has been promulgated since the...

Is Unplanned the 21st Century Uncle Tom’s Cabin for Abortion?
Probably not, but it should be. If you're not familiar with the novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriett Beecher Stowe (1811-1896), it was published in 1852 to communicate to the American people the evils of slavery. Many people who were not involved in slavery,...
Why Is Homosexuality Unnatural in Addition to Sin?
Given this is ostensibly a blog about parenting, and that I soon have a book about parenting to be published, and we live in the 21st century, I can't escape commenting on homosexuality. As you know it is ubiquitous in our culture, and if you have children you won't...
Tim Keller is Wrong About Social Justice
I don't often get into political discussions here because this is a website about apologetics for my Christian faith and worldview, but I've also practiced apologetics for my political and economic convictions with my kids all their lives. These convictions of course...

DNA Confirms the Bible: Israelites did not wipe out the Canaanites
I recently saw this headline at Real Clear Politics: "DNA Contradicts the Bible on Canaanites." Of course I had to click on it. What I found, no surprise to me, was that DNA did no such thing. For the last 150 plus years, skeptics have declared over and over again...
The Logic of Atheism Drove This Scholar to Jesus
Logic is an amazing feature of the universe God created, but one that is unfortunately often ignored. It is no longer taught in public schools, which is obvious from the tenor of public debates over politics and religion. And those of us who attend weekly worship...
Why Is the Question, “Who Designed the Designer?” Logical AND Absurd?
A common question when talking to children about God being the creator of all things is, "Who created God?" The question is logical enough, but absurd. Many atheists and agnostics, who often think like children, often ask the same question: Amazingly, it’s the chief...
