How Do You See God In Everything? See God In Everything!
Well, that wasn't so hard now, was it. This thought came to me as I was reading an article yesterday about "How the body builds a healthy relationship with 'good' gut bacteria." There is only one explanation, only one, for the preposterous complexity of the human...
Think Institute Podcast Appearance
In case you didn't get to see it live, here is the YouTube recording of my discussion with Joel Settecase of the Think Institute Podcast. He's a great guy, and it was an absolute blast. Plus he loves the book!
Billie Eilish: A Clueless Teenager the Secular World is Going All Lady Gaga Over
Until I read a thoughtful article about her a couple days ago at The Federalist, I had never heard of pop superstar Billie Eilish.

Falling in Love with . . . . God
I often think of what a relationship with God means for me and those I love. I may be something of an aberration, but as far back as 12 or 13 years old I was wondering about my existence in this big vast universe and what it all means. Like many sinners (i.e., all...
The implications of origins part 3 – Lucky Dirt Turns Out to be Not So Lucky After All
In my previous two posts (one and two) I argued that how we understand our origins, where we come from and why we are here, have implications for life that are all encompassing. If we, as Scripture declares, are creatures made in God's image in God's world, then we...
The implications of origins part 2 – Telos in a Baby’s Ear
In my previous post I argued that how we see our origins, where we and this universe comes from, have significant implications for how we see reality and live life, all-encompassing implications, both positive and negative. The reason this is important for keeping our...

The Picture of Dorian Gray – The Human Dilemma Without Christ
I recently finished The Picture of Dorian Gray by the famous 19th century provocateur Oscar Wilde. The book was itself a profound picture of a lost soul trying to come to terms with life devoid of a true north with which to make sense of it all. I read it with special...
“Conspiracy” and the Longing for Justice
In the soon to be blockbuster best-seller, The Persuasive Christian Parent, I tell the story of "the clicker." Yes, that clicker, more commonly known as the remote control. As you'll read in the book, the clicker is a great tool for engaging popular culture with our...
Science: We’ll Never Know For Sure How Everything Began
According to the current secularist worldview the only sure epistemological foundation (basis for knowing) is science. At some point in the last hundred or so years through popular culture, education, and media, science replaced religion in the modern imagination as...

The Epidemic of Unexamined Assumptions
Given I'm a fan of popular culture, and a student of it's influence on, and reflection of, the worldview of the people in that culture, I was very eager to read a piece titled Questioning the Gods: How TV's Tackling Belief and Religion. The article perfectly captures...
Notable Quotation
We must attack the enemy's line of communication. What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by Christians on other subjects—with their Christianity latent. You can see this most easily if you look at it the other way round. Our...
God Gave Us His Law, and The Created Order, That We Might Flourish
We live in the age of The Sovereign Self. Phrases heard throughout the culture like, "Just be true to yourself," or "As long as it makes you happy" are common. Such ideas reflect the triumph of the subjective, which basically asserts that each individual can...

Are The Gospels Historically Reliable?
Came across this piece today, "A Christmas question: Are the Gospels more reliable than scholars once thought?" And the answer is a resounding yes! The Gospels, and the Bible in general, have been under attack since forever, but especially since German Higher...
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...
