It seems to me that Christians have become so worried about what will be thought of them if they stand up for what the bible actually says, that we have started to not only represent the Gospel so very poorly, but have become a horrible caricature of what a Christian ought to be.
If the truth matters, and I believe it does, then shouldn’t the transformational truth-claims about God be quite evident in the way our lives are lived out and how we treat others — even devout atheists? One needs only to take a quick glance at the words of two of today’s most well-known atheists to prove the old adage, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”
Just because I think your arguments are deeply flawed, ignore basic science, and possibly heretical too … doesn’t mean I think God didn’t create the universe.
Heretical? How so? What basic science am I ignoring? How are my arguments flawed?
Mike, no where did I deny the existance of …

You assert that I.D. satisfies Occam’s Razor as the simplest explanation. However, you overlook the vast complexity you assume when you posit something capable of that level of creation. Assuming the supernatural to explain the natural is MORE complex than only assuming natural causes.
At the very basic level, when …

Jim stated:
When you say that “Evil is present in this world” I just don’t get it. I’ll be frank: it feels to me like anthropomorphizing, …

I found the following AP story very humorous. Do we need any more proof that PostModernism is off its rocker? “Nevermind the truth. Just make me feel better.” This could very well be the PostModernist mission statement or motto, though, of course, PostModernism itself refuses to …

Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy …

Yesterday I saw something I hope I never see again.
We have just returned from a week of Revival Meetings in Missouri. After Sunday night church, we went to a 4th of July gathering of about 150 people. We enjoyed the food, fellowship and the fireworks! As we were traveling …

One of the most difficult things to comprehend about God, Who is, admittedly, incomprehensible, is His “self-existence.” There is a wonderful term for this as I have learned recently. It is called aseity. This simply means that God exists uncreated; He had no beginning and will have …

God is “holy, yet loving; the love not interfering with the holiness, nor the holiness with the love.” — Horatius Bonar
I used to say something to the effect, “holiness is one of my favorite attributes of God.” I was wrong in stating it thus. Holiness is not merely an …

I’ll be honest. I haven’t been following the whole Filibuster debacle very closely up until now. I happened across an article on therealitycheck.org today and started looking into the “Great Compromise” that has been reached in the Senate. Again, the media, along with Harry Reid (D Minority …

Permit me to think aloud (or at least silently while typing my thoughts for all to see) today. This morning I read of a Pastor in North Carolina who is leaving his congregation due to a bitter political battle in the church. Chan Chandler resigned as pastor of …
