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...

I Corinthians 13 – This is Love
I'm working on a post about how Christianity completely transformed the world. In my other writing obsession, I've been writing my way through the Bible since April 2014, one of the best things I've ever done. God's word is a bottomless well of profundity that gets...
Why Reading the Bible and Prayer EVERY Day is the Best Apologetic-A Personal Story
Eight years ago or so I got on my knees, feeling like the miserable Christian I thought I was, and committed to God that I would read the Bible and pray every day. Whatever I could or couldn't do, I knew I could at least do that. I had been a Christian for 30 plus...
Reformed Theology and Building Our Children’s Faith
Those of you who are parents know those moments Madison Avenue has coined as "priceless." I had one the other night that thrilled my soul when my son said something to the effect, "I'm so glad that God is my salvation." The subtitled of my book gets at why this was so...

The Non-Religious Person Does Not Exist
If we're to raise our kids in a hostile 21st Century secular culture so that they maintain their Christian commitment throughout their lives, we need to continuously show them how reality affirms what they believe. This sounds so ridiculously obvious, but I think many...
Notable Quotation
What is the materialist creed? Modern materialism denies that we have a soul and reduces us to a mere body. In doing so, it assumes that all our actions are determined by physical forces, and therefore denies that we have free will. It therefore declares to be unreal...
Modern Science Makes Belief in God More Plausible Than Ever
I came across an article today entitled, "The Astounding Truth About the Hubble Space Telescope's Most Famous Image." In it was an image pretty much like the one on the left. We learn in the piece that: The specks of color and light you see are not stars; they are...

Secularism and Mass Shootings
I've been on a bit of a secularism kick of late, and as you may know I'm not a fan. I thought of secularism, and its discontents, as I heard of the latest American mass shooting in our new home state of Florida. Seventeen people killed in the prime of life, not by a...
Secularism and the Berlin Wall, Part 4 – Secularism Unmasked
In my previous post I dealt with why secularism might be appealing in our modern context. I argued that it's not anything inherent in secularism that makes it more appealing than Christianity, but the cultural messaging machine that promotes it. That's why it's a...
Secularism and the Berlin Wall, Part 3 – The Appeal of Secularism
I ended my last post claiming that secularism is no less a paper tiger than the Berlin Wall. That's quite an assertion in the face of a secular cultural hegemony that seems to approach absolute. Everywhere we look, people who claim the name of Christ are on the...

Science is Becoming God’s Best Friend
We live in a secular age, at least in the West, in which the dominion of science for all the good it has done has essentially replaced God for many people who find religion untenable. If "Science" says it, people believe it, few questions asked. In a little discussion...
The Moral Argument for God’s Existence
Some time ago listening to an apologetics talk I heard something that was so obvious I wondered why I had never thought of it just that way before. I probably had to some degree, but it never made as much sense in the context of evidence for God's existence. The...
“Risen” Trailer Available
I learned about this movie called "Risen" coming out next spring, obviously around Easter. It looks very promising, with a big name lead, Joseph Fiennes, and obviously excellent production values. From the piece at Empire: Kevin Reynolds’ film, which he co-wrote with...
