Nietzsche and Why It’s OK to Eat Your Neighbor
I bet you never thought cannibalism and Nietzsche would go together, but they do, quite nicely. I might never have put those two together, but I heard Gary DeMar discuss his book, Why It Might Be OK to Eat Your Neighbor, on his podcast. This subtitle gives us the...
The Importance of Both the Inner and Outer Body for the Christian
Since I got active on Twitter in early 2024, I often come across comments like this as people debate spirituality and physical fitness: From by what I can gathered and have observed by those who predominantly post about masculinity, not all but some, focus more on...
Eschatological Assumptions and AD70
From early in my Christian life I knew Jerusalem was completely destroyed, decimated, by the Romans in AD70. However, before I embraced postmillennialism in August 2022, I didn’t realize the significance of that event both eschatologically and theologically. I also...

Watch This Movie, and be Freed from Practical Atheism!
On Friday I came across an article at Breakpoint about a movie called The Master Designer—the Song, and I, my wife, and son watched it in dumbfounded awe. It's so refreshing to watch a documentary about the wonders of the natural world and not be told over and over...
Private Property: Another (Necessary) Blessing of Christianity
In this unique time, to say the least, of an over-hyped pandemic (no doubt about that at this point), work and what it accomplishes, private property, is increasingly being seen for what it is, essential. How perverted is it when government tells us what is essential...
If There Was No Jesus, There Would be No Dignity in Work
Given that many Americans are unemployed through no fault of their own, and are chomping at the bit to get back to work, a few thoughts on Christianity and the dignity of work are appropriate. I'm currently reading How Christianity Changed the World by Alvin J....

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...
Jesus’ View of Death Might Not Be What You Think
I wrote in previous posts about how human beings have a visceral revulsion toward death. We hate it. You might be surprised to learn that Jesus hated death too. How do we know? First, Jesus wasn't exactly thrilled to have to be tortured and endure a Roman cross to...

Reflections on the Suicide of a Megachurch Pastor
Life can be so ineffably sad sometimes, and when I recently read about the suicide of a high-profile pastor I couldn't get it out of my mind. It made me angry even as it broke my heart. Commenting on a situation like it is fraught with danger in an age such as ours,...
Anne of Gay Gables
The subject of this post may sound vaguely familiar, but with a very postmodern, 21st century twist. Many are familiar with the beloved 1908 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables. Netflix has adapted the novel into a series called Anne...
In What Kind of Culture Do 45,000 People a Year Commit Suicide?
The statistics tell us that 45,000 people kill themselves in America every year; that is 123 per day! According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (which obviously isn't doing a very good job), for every successful suicide, 25 people try to kill...

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...
The Criterion of Embarrassment, And Why You Shouldn’t be Embarrassed By It
The more I read the Old Testament, the more amazed I am that a people could be proud of such a book. I'm currently reading through Jeremiah, a prophet to the southern kingdom of Judah that was shortly to be destroyed by the Babylonians as God's judgment for their sin....
Is It Wrong to Torture Babies for Fun?
I can imagine you thinking at this moment, What kind of person would ask such a stupid question! Hang with me, and you'll realize it's not such a stupid question after all. In my previous post I shared an Alice in Wonderland adventure I had with a...
