He was very opinionated, maybe on the blunt side of the spectrum. Standing there telling us that we don’t have to shoot pictures at remote places for stunning art. Rather, he said, just stepping out on our back deck one can find photogenic scenes of the world around us. The he in this account was one of […]
Terrestrial Alien technology Digging in the deep jungle tangle, you are in search for lost ancient civilizations. Finding primitive technology is your expected end because of the surrounding primitive cultures. Your slow sleepy digging suddenly is awakened by the earth’s yawning mouth, you are plunged down into the bowels of the earth. A hidden cavern […]
We like our comfort. We like are personal peace. We like our prosperity. However, if your Christianity is comfortable, you are not a Christian after the breed of the Apostles and ancients. In fact, not even like Jesus! Now I’m not trying to tell you that you should seek out an “uncomfortable life”. No. I […]
Scanning electron micrograph of Escherichia coli
Exponential Life – Epigenetics Deepens the Mystery of Design I was blown away when the scientist said it; my mind yelled, “What? Th at’s crazy!” His topic was the famous, or maybe infamous, tiny friend living down in our lower digestive tract, Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. He said that, on average, any given strain […]
Some atheists say things like “science has fired God” or “science killed God.” What about some who say “science is making belief in God obsolete and incoherent”?

Are Christians supposed to have a distinction between God’s moral law, God’s ceremonial law and God’s legal law in the Old Testament? And what, anyhow, was the old law for? This three part series will address these and other questions. […]
One of my favorite stories is an extra-biblical account, told by second century Clement of Alexandria, about the Apostle John. The same beloved apostle of Jesus, the one who was imprisoned on the isle of Patmos, the one who wrote five books of the New Testament. In a past post, I posted the account verbatim […]
Maybe one of today’s most deceptive Christian traps is illicit Bible reading methods. These methods are easy and common, but so seductive.
