Christians aren't saying it aloud. They aren't even saying it in the privacy and secrecy of their own minds. They ARE shouting it with their behavior! How? By avoiding the subject. Postponing. Putting it off. Excusing themselves with reasonable explanations (translation: rationalizations). "Sometime next year. Life is too busy! I'll have time later! In the future!" Or they blame the messengers and ignore the message, rationalizing their own disregard of the content by demonstrating "offense" Read more [...]

Recently I was invited to be a guest at a new church by two friends.  After the service I cornered the pastor and asked him what part Apologetics played in his vision for the Church.  He thought for a moment, then thoughtfully replied. "Apologetics... that's where you reach out to non-believers with reasons for believing Christianity.  There is a need for that, sure, but our emphasis here is to concentrate on supporting and strengthening the faith of those already in our congregation Read more [...]

 What were you born for?  If you're here reading this then you must be interested in Apologetics. We know then that you were born for this, or you wouldn't be interested. But how deep does that interest go?  How much of you was designed around Apologetics?  Is its purpose merely ancillary to another larger purpose? Or is it the main theme and purpose of your very being?  Does your soul sing and resonate with Apologetics?  Do you feel incomplete unless you are actively engaged in understanding Read more [...]

What do I know for certain? That you can't ever stop thinking. Also, one should lead with his thoughts, not his feelings. Yet, thinking cannot operate without a constant ear to the heart, because, after all, we are not mere machines: we were given a mind, a heart and a soul. Three points of reference that we must triangulate to find our direction. A base of operations made of three components. Everything that we have was given to us. Did WE create our bodies? Did WE create the cosmos? Our very Read more [...]

Standing Our Ground  There are three components to standing our ground for the Christian World View. 1) Prepare our children for the onslaught of intellectual predators. 2) Strengthen and maintain the faith of all believers through reason. 3) Build a bridge to those on the “other side” with the reasons for our faith.

Majority Rule is Mob Rule! An atheist recently stated macroevolution was true because the majority of scientists believe it's true.  Is anything right because the majority of people believe it’s true?  Or is it exactly the opposite?   Is truth determined by the majority? Our society assumes scientists are on the cutting edge of intellectual honesty and truth.  But are they?  Or could it be they are like the average person who doesn’t question established authority?  Could it Read more [...]

 It doesn’t matter what I think about before I actually begin to write.  There are no “ideas” that will aid the process.  None.  Yes, the left brain, the intellect, will always try.   On one hand I appreciate its efforts, because it was designed to look for solutions, but it can’t solve problems it doesn’t understand. More than that, the intellect cannot understand that it cannot understand creativity and what goes on in the imaginative creative realm of the right brain! Why? Read more [...]
