Trunk or Truth
Suggestion for next year’s church Trunk-Or-Treat that will be the talk of the town: Start by filling the parking lot with vehicles decorated by enthusiastic church folks, eager to interact with the public for the sake of leading families to Jesus. Each car should have a large supply of treats. Treats must be edible! No […]
Rapid Gospel
Here’s an example of why we should be careful about our literal interpretations of biblical words. God’s Word gives us the eyewitness account of history. He never lies (Titus 1:2) so we can trust his Word to give us the true history of earth, the universe, and the gospel. Mark 1:21 tells us, “And they […]
Don’t Forget The Lord
I woke up this morning because God saw fit to lend me consciousness for another day. I don’t have the strength, wisdom, or skill to rouse myself from sleep. All night long my lungs filled the blood in my veins with oxygen and my heart pumped that blood to every one of the trillions of […]
My Beef With Answers in Genesis
Some people have asked me why I’m criticizing Answers in Genesis (and specifically, Ken Ham). I’ll explain what annoys me about AiG which will clear up all the confusion and put me back in fellowship with everybody. HahahahahahaHAAAAhahaha… To be clear, the Bible’s use of the terms ‘evening’ and ‘morning’ can absolutely be interpreted as […]
I Believe In Evolution
As a Christian, I believe God created the heavens and the Earth. I believe God is directly responsible for everything that exists in the Universe. I believe His power sustains every aspect of reality. I believe nothing happens apart from His perfect will. …I also believe in evolution. And I believe, despite my clearly stated […]
There Was Never Nothing
It was a weird day when an atheist taught me creation theology. I didn’t expect a person who openly denies God’s existence would have any useful insight into the origins of the universe but in a single 72 hour day, a devout pagan helped me understand the truthfulness of scripture. After a loooooooong exchange about […]
Don’t Start Discerning Now!
Remember when you told me that Christians aren’t to judge? You insisted that we’re called to unconditional love and you posted a bunch of scripture to support your position. Remember that? I do. As the Middle East spins into chaos, you’re not allowed to call it ‘chaos.’ You can’t call it ‘tragic’ or ‘heart-breaking’ or […]
I’m Certain It’s Okay To Be Uncertain
For a large number of alleged Christians, The Great Commission has become, “Go into all the world and shrug.” Christianity in America is mostly about being considerate toward other beliefs. Sure, those beliefs lead to chaos, suffering, and death but that doesn’t make it okay for us to talk bad about them! After all, it’s […]
How Far Will You Go?
When I suggested that Christians should use some discernment when being charitable, a few people sent me passages from scripture to point out my error. According to these folks, it is inappropriate to judge the legitimacy of any request for assistance. The strongest rebuke of my position comes from Jesus himself! “Give to everyone who […]
Give Your Strawman To Charity
There may be times when you’ll need to strengthen your own ideas by misrepresenting my ideas so let me show you how to construct a proper ‘strawman argument.’ If, for example, I suggest that Christians should exercise discretion when giving away resources rather than just blindly giving things to anyone who claims to be in […]
