A Conflict of Visions-Reality as It Is or Transform It
One of the greatest public intellectuals of the 20th and 21st centuries, Thomas Sowell, a black man and conservative, wrote a book in in 1987 called A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles. I point out his race only to indicate that black...
Numbers 13-14: Exploring Canaan and the Case for Christian Optimism
God communicates his redemptive story through a real people in history as a living metaphor for realities he would bring to pass in due course, a very long course. As I say, God is never in a hurry, and this took 2,000 years from its announcement in the calling of...
God’s Promise in Habakkuk to Fill the Earth with the Knowledge of his Glory

What Does It Mean We Are Forgiven From Our Sins? Part 1
Every Christian knows that being forgiven from our sins is Christianity 101. But if you ask most Christians what it means to be forgiven from our sins, I would wager that very few could answer with any confidence. I think a common answer would be something like a...

Charlie Brown: Isn’t there anyone, who knows what Christmas is all about?! Linus: Sure Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about. Lights please? And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by...
Darwin’s Unbelief is News?
Over the years I've read a variety of things about Charles Darwin's faith and his so called struggle with it, as if he was truly ambivalent about it. The deeper he got into his theory of evolution, the story goes, the more his faith gave way to doubt and eventually to...
