There’s a famous dilemma that’s called the Chicken and the Egg dilemma. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. It goes, “Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg?” For the Christian, the answer is simple—the chicken was created with the fouls on day 5. Inside this discussion, however, is a very important truth. When it comes [...]
Fox News reported this: JERUSALEM — Orthodox Jews have burned hundreds of New Testaments in the latest act of violence against Christian missionaries in Israel.
For some weird reason I’m in a reflective type mood as of late. I think a lot of it has to do with the workbook I’m working through called Experiencing God. (You can find the link to it in my sidebar.) At its core is the premise that God is still at work in the [...]
For everything we do, we have a reason. Sometimes we do not think through the reason, but there is a reason none the same. So, when it comes to the discussion of morals and why we do what we do, it is important to recognize this fact if we are going to have a good [...]
Fewer things are more powerful than celebrity. Scientology uses this to its advantage, getting big names to perpetuate its cult. That’s one of the reasons why Christians have started to protest Oprah Winfrey’s new religion by trying to spread the word about how what she is teaching through her television show is not something that [...]
A Sugar Hill, Georgia Pastor proclaimed that he was sorry to his community– sorry for the judgmental tone that comes from most Christians. A Georgia Baptist pastor who pledged to apologize to gays, women seeking abortions, and couples who live together outside marriage during his March 30 sermon did just that – and then he [...]
It was an interesting conversation that I did not start. The other day I was working at my desk when a coworker– a contractor from natively from Canada– probed to see what I believed in and then offered a short dissertation on the impact of Christianity in his hometown. Basically, he recounted that in Quebec [...]
One of the things that is truly fascinating about the atheist movement in America in 2008 is not that there are people that actually believe that the Universe was brought about from nothing, but that they attempt to take morality from Christianity and then claim a secular derivation in order to take ownership of said [...]
To come to the topic of God and justice, we first must define who God is– what is His standing. I know that this will be philosophical and theological, but hang with me, because it’s important that we think through these things. Who does God claim that He is? Of the many things, one that [...]
…Because the dark doesn’t really exist. One of the things that I muse on from time to time is the whole way we represent the world around us, and how accurate or inaccurate our descriptions are. Here are some others: Dark: Absence of Light Cold: Absence of Heat Vacuum: Absence of Air Evil: Absence of [...]
The Christian Church is an interesting thing in that, like most religions they want more numbers and have different standards about how they go about getting them. All too often I’ve experienced being brought to the point where the question has either been asked (or I have asked it) about what mix of quality or [...]
As many of you know, I have a BS in Computer Science from Bob Jones University (located in Greenville, South Carolina). My alma mater never ceases to be a target when it comes to Presidential elections. In the 2000 election cycle the University was pounded by negative press about its beliefs since President George W. [...]
There are two different errors Scott Buchanan highlights in his article Indifferentism vs. Everythingism: Stay in the Middle of the Road, but that’s not what makes his article interesting. First, let’s get some definitions out of the way: Indifferentism is the error of accepting the gospel but refusing to acknowledge the doctrines of the gospel [...]
We are now witnessing the rise of a new religion. No, it’s not Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, or Wicca. This religion is relatively recent in its founding, and until present, content to remain calm in its demeanor. Up until this present time they remained on the fringes, adhering to other people’s standards, and willing to live [...]
