The Gospel: The Only Thing That Makes Sense of Anything
Ideas for blog posts often seem to come when I start praying in the morning. As has been my habit for almost seven years, every morning I wrestle my way through a text of Scripture and write my thoughts in my uncreatively named Walk Through the Bible blog....
What Does it Mean for a Christian to Live in Hope?
1984 ain't got nothin' on 2020! And now, apparently, 2021. While this is a blog committed to Christian apologetics, the defense of the truth claims of Christianity, it is also committed to the defense of Truth. Since we live in deeply secular, postmodern times, Truth...
Third Time’s A Charm—The Persuasive Christian Parent is Finally Available!
