Is philosophy wrong and evil as I’ve been told in the past? One biblical passage, in the letter to the Colossae church, is given as proof text. Now, I think those who make such claim get this passage wrong. In addition, I have two humorous side notes about those who make such claims. I’ve noticed […]
One Youtube vlogger I’ve stumbled upon discusses topics ranging from makeup to atheism. My interest level in makeup is equal to my interest level in China’s annual quantity of rice production. (Which means I don’t care.) However, her pro-atheism videos do interest me. I think they are fun because she uses common objections to religion […]
![How To Spot And Deal With Cult And Cultic Groups [Podcast]](https://iapologia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/iApologia_Player.png)
The 1970’s brought us the gut wrenching and infamous case of Jim Jones and the public awareness of cults gone rogue. It showed how innocent people can be whirlpooled into the arms of evil murderous man. Many cults and cult like groups never will mass murder people as in the case of Jones. However, similar […]
Spammers attack my blog every day, which is quite annoying to say the least. Like most, I have no problem identify spam. While spam can be dangerous to the naive, for most it’s not the biggest concern. However, there are real devious and dangerous ideas that bombarded us daily. Fake news, false memes, fringe ideas, […]

Coauthored with John Stonestreet, Brett Kunkle sent me his new book, A Practical Guide to Culture: Helping the Next Generation Navigate Today’s World. I had been eying the book for a bit, so I was happy to read it and give my thoughts. I do think we all must continually keep our fingers on culture’s […]

Sadly, this is seen across the spectrum of many […]
Click for credit. Just The Truth Please? A counterfeiter once walked into a gas station, slapped down a seven and asked for change. Without skipping a beat, the attendant handed him a three and four dollar bill and said “good day.” One of the most annoying “Christian” myths is that many think law enforcement, who […]
Car in snow. Public Domain. Click for credit. The air was cold and crisp as I started driving home. The roads were clear so I zoned out. About the same instant as I noticed white flakes in the air and the white fluffy stuff on the road, was when I started losing control. Going down […]
Flash floods. Bad storm. The dam overflows…then brakes. Billy hears the rush of water hit his house as he awakes. Floods rise as he climbs on his table, but the water is getting higher. Standing upon a chair on the table he grabs the beam, he swings, smashing the window that leads out to the […]
