The days fly by in rapid succession. A flurry. A blur. Beyond my grasp, yet I reach out to grab hold... The morning sun brings cheer to the vineyards and trees that shuffle past my view my drive south, and turns up the blue light in the sky. The nighttime darkness is chased and flees from the sun's magnificent smile. The world awakens and goes about its business entrenched in routines like ants, unaware of the majestic timepiece in which they toil. I can't catch up with or retrieve time lost, Read more [...]

Do you ever feel like you don’t know enough?  I often do.  I feel it now. But I have to ask: know enough for what? To make a decision.  To take an action.  Both. Thinking I don’t know enough puts me at a standstill.  I’m frozen in time, inactivated, suffocated, inert.  I’m gripped tight by an intellectual/emotional straight jacket that grieves my soul.  What can I do? Apologetics has taught me the value of facing doubts in my worldview -why not also my personal doubts? I believe Read more [...]

Time moves so quickly, doesn’t it? Which brings up the question: how can we best make use of the time that we have? By devoting our time whenever possible to the Creator of time who is beyond time: God Himself. And isn’t that our purpose: to know God and make Him known?  There is no greater or more fulfilling way to live because we were made for that purpose. Jesus said the first and greatest commandment is to “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with Read more [...]

I'm still amazed that Christ suffered for us, for me, for everyone. I was one of those who jeered & spat at Him as He hung nailed there on my behalf. I'm sorry beyond words for that. Yet the grief of my actions are far outweighed by the grace of His.   Like This Blog?

Let’s cut to the chase: Apologetics is about right thinking.  Reason and logic.  First and foremost.  That is its core. Whatever you once thought otherwise -fuhgeddaboudit. Right thinking is not isolated to Apologetics, because it applies to everything, and is employed when seeking the truth in anything, anywhere, anytime, anyplace.  General Revelation or  Special Revelation. Whether studying, scripture, physics, religion, biology, philosophy, history, theology, geology or anything else Read more [...]

We don’t have to wait for an afterlife to begin living in eternity. Eternal life begins the moment we make the decision to accept the gift of Salvation. We are then no longer of this world, and though our bodies are bound by finite time we are not. We live in eternity now. We need not wish or wonder wistfully for immortality because we have it. Once we see the truth of this our lives are changed forever because our perspective shifts from a limited human lifespan to a future without end.  Read more [...]

Would it be significant if Jesus modified Old Testament Scripture by adding a word? It would be blasphemous if he were merely a man, but highly significant if he was God as he claimed to be. Would you agree? Moreover, wouldn’t you think we ought to sit up and take notice? In addition wouldn’t the significance be compounded further if the change were made in response to one of the most important questions you and I or a Pharisee could ask? The stakes of missing the point would be even higher, Read more [...]

Atheism is the opiate of the masses. Enabling escape from the consequences of reality by denying reality. Christianity is often accused of being an escape for the weak and feeble minded who can't face reality. For those who can't look at the facts as they are and the evidence smack dab in front of their faces. But is that true? There is a massive cumulative case to the contrary. Instead those who accuse Christians of intellectual weak knees are themselves shaking in their boots.   Because Read more [...]
