I see posts online like Brandon’s (below) floating around once in a while. The gist? “Jesus never explicitly condemned LGBTQ behavior, so it must not matter.” Brandon’s FaceBook Post: If Jesus was so obsessed with condemning LGBTQ people, you’d expect it to show up somewhere in the Gospels. It doesn’t. Not once. Not indirectly. Not […]
Reincarnation has quietly moved from the fringes of American spirituality into the mainstream. Roughly one-third of Americans now say they believe in it, and the numbers are even higher among Millennials and Gen Z. What’s striking is that this belief isn’t limited to those who identify as “spiritual but not religious.” Many who still call […]
One common objection to the New Testament is the claim that some letters attributed to Paul or Peter couldn’t really have come from them, because the vocabulary or style differs from their other writings. At first this sounds reasonable. But when we look closely at ancient writing practices and the contexts of these letters, the […]
It was on a mini vacation with a few friends that I picked up the book. The vacation itself was nice; we had a good cabin in a relaxing area with plenty of water and trees surrounding us. As expected, area restaurants and stores were overpriced. While killing some time one day, we moseyed into […]
If you are an authentic Christ follower from the west, you are a rare person. Claiming to be Christian does not make you one. Being a Christian actually means something; it means a Christ follower.

Canadian pastors are now being imprisoned for opening churches, for the “health and safety” of the community. Persecution really is on the rise in the West, but it is not new.

This is the season when we remember and celebrate Jesus’ death and resurrection. Just in time for this season, I released a new apologetics book. Adapted for this article, you can see a sneak preview of the book from chapter 16. Before we get the sample, however, let’s just introduce the book. The title and […]
February 12th was Darwin Day, a day when many celebrate Charles Darwin and promote Darwinian evolution. Thus, I thought this time of the year would be a great opportunity to address a line of “evidence” for Darwinism called “evolutionary engineering.” When I first heard about it, it sounded like an oxymoron. As I read up […]
We live in a very strange time. The strangeness is not necessarily caused by the blustering politics, worldview clashes and a viral pandemic crashing over the globe. The strangeness is not necessarily caused by the swirling media confusion either. Rather, it is strange because we think we should be immune, pardon the pun, to such […]
I know there are many such types; I see them often. It was a meme, an anti-Christian meme. Sitting prominent center was a little church with its large steeple ablaze from a lightning strike. Text on the image said something to the effect of: “Either your God is mad at you or you’re worshiping the […]
