The Growth of Pietism and Secularism’s Inevitable Dominance
Pietism and secularism lead to the same thing: a secular society devoid of Christian influence. As I’ve argued here previously, Pietism and secularism are two sides of the same coin; one requires the other, and each contributes to the other. This is an odd notion for...
This is Us, Alzheimer’s and the Programming of Modern Medicine
My wife and I recently watched a TV series called This is Us, and one of the main characters came down with Alzheimer's. Given I’ve had a health epiphany because of Covid, I now see portrayals of disease like this differently than I used to. This Is Us was a series...
Trump, A Great Awakening, and the Refounding of America
If you’re not one of my multitude of fans, all three of them, you won’t know this is the subtitle of the book I published last year, Going Back to Find the Way Forward. As we see things unfolding in Trump’s second term, I’m thinking I might be some sort of prophet....

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...

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...
Praise Chance! Can It Really Do What Evolutionists Claim?
In my last post I discussed how evolution as an unguided, impersonal, and material process cannot do what evolutionists claim it can do; it cannot create anything. A much better explanation, infinitely so in my estimation, is an omniscient, omnipotent, wildly creative...
What does evolution DO? Nothin’!
In a recent conversation with an agnostic, I was consistently amazed by this person's insistence that intimate objects have "purpose." He didn't use the word, but that was what he described. The cell, he averred, does such and such, and creates this and so, all with...

R.C. Sproul: Can We Find Meaning Between the Poles of Meaninglessness?
I was recently listening to the late great R.C. Sproul talk about a very large problem for atheists (agnostics as well because they are practical atheists). Since atheists are materialists (the material is all that exists, there is no God or spiritual reality), they...
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...

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...
10 Basic Facts About the NT Canon that Every Christian Should Memorize
Most Americans do not believe that the Bible gives us reliable history, let alone a divinely inspired authoritative history we can trust for the salvation of our souls. Most Christians do believe they can trust Scripture, but few know why. This is unfortunate because...
