Thoughts on Dying: RIP Rush
I was going to write something on the dying of conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh, and before I got to that I listened to this interview from the Dallas Theological Seminary’s The Table podcast about embracing our mortality.
A Response to The Misunderstanding of My Critics, Part 3
This will be my final word in writing about the issues introduced on my book page, and discussed on Take 1, and Take 2. I'm kind of proud that I've been able to get Calvinists and Arminians to agree about something regarding salvation. In my experience discussing...
A Response to The Misunderstanding of My Critics, Part 2
In my first post I addressed part of this misunderstanding, that "there is absolutely no correlation between faithful (or reasonably faithful) work in this with the outcome of personal faith." The "work" is a reference to raising our children in the faith. The concern...

The Wages of Sin and Theology: Miracle Max Got it Right
In my previous post I talked about the wages of sin as it related to the movie Dunkirk. In this post I want discuss how the wages of sin relates to our salvation from sin, and specifically what in theology is called the doctrine of soteriology. Over the years I've...
Peter and the Deity of Christ
Who Jesus is, is the central question of human existence. If he was who he said he was, and if he is who the Council of Nicea in 325 said he was and declared by orthodox Christians ever since: God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made;...

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...

Resources – Mars Hill Audio
Mars Hill is the famous place in Athens where the Apostle Paul debated with and spoke to Greek philosophers as described in Acts 17. It is also the name of an audio journal produced by Ken Myers for more than 20 years. A couple years ago Andrew Ferguson at the Weekly...
Richard Nixon: Culture Warrior
Most people would date the start of the culture wars to the 1960s and the sexual revolution, but the secular left's war against all things traditional actually began with the Chambers-Hiss case in 1948, according to Mark Judge. He makes a persuasive case. More...
“The Onion,” Pro-Life?
What is this world coming to when The Onion can mock the abortion industry without any seeming embarrassment or concern? That’s just what they did in one of their faux news stories, “Planned Parenthood Opens $8 Billion Abortionplex.” A mall dedicated to abortion! It’s...
