Ukraine: Why You Should Care

The eyes of the world are now focused on a region that most Americans could probably not find on a map a few months ago: Ukraine’s Crimea. This region has long been a source of conflict in the region, since it serves as the base for the Russian navy and gives a huge, largely landlocked...

Loving the Weaker Brother: 1 Corinthians 8-9

Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” puffs up, but love builds up. If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, he is known by God. (1Co 8:1-3) Though Paul acknowledges that...

COSMOS: Of Cartoons and Crazy Dreams.

) When Cosmos was first announced that it was going to air on Sunday Nights after Family Guy and The Simpsons, a lot of people questioned the time slots appropriateness. After all, Sunday Night on FOX has long been the time slot for blasphemous, yet high end, well produced animation by Seth MacFarlane. How on...

You Might Be a False Convert If…

Most people reading this blog will profess Christ as their Lord and Savior. Most may very well be true followers of Jesus Christ.

Presuppositionalism in Textual Criticism

Presuppositional Apologetics are very popular now, and I am an advocate. But presuppositionalism touches every discipline and is not restricted to Apologetics. So I think it’s important to work even in Textual Criticism from a presuppositional position. Let’s look at two sides of the issue: Traditional/Ecclesiastical Textual Criticism and Modern Textual Criticism. The broadest presupposition...

40 Days for Life Stinks

40 Days for Life Stinks There. I said it. Let the evangelical world hear this loudly and clearly: 40 Days for Life is not a Christian organization. It’s not. I know there are some professing Christians involved. I understand that it’s supported by 16,500 churches. I think it’s religiously motivated. And I also know that...

Be pessimistic…about your pessimism.

I was listening to an sermon online from a local Southern Baptist church. The preacher posited the argument that one reason that the Church in America was not being influential was because the Church in America looks too much like the world around her. That’s a fair point and one that I’m not going to...
