“Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage, do not be afraid neither be thou dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” ~Joshua 1:9 NKJV
One of the biggest challenges many professing Christians in America face is the realization that we...
Coming up at the end of this weekend, we have the most popular sporting event of the year in our country. I’m of course talking about the Super Bowl. Some gather to watch it just because it’s a reason to party. Others watch the game to see the newest and most clever commercials....
When most people think of faith, they think of belief in something that is unseen. When others think of faith, they automatically think of physical action; putting their faith to work. But I tell you what, there are times when practicing one’s faith requires a person to endure, allow,...
A major problem for evolution is there isn’t a single indisputable transition fossil when the record should be full of them. It was said that evolution is “obvious in fossils.” This tactic is known as elephant hurling and is completely false. The trouble for the evolutionist is that...
Last week, I wrote about why Christians claim that Jesus is the only way to heaven. Even though Jesus clearly stated that He is the only way (John 14:6), many people think that there must be other ways. Why would a loving God limit us so much that there would be only one way to get...
One of the most commonly cited evidences for evolution is how bacteria gain immunity to antibiotic drugs. It is no secret that drugs are treated for one thing but then cannot deal with the next things. This is another example of why we are recommended to get a new flu shot every year....
In this world, you can work extremely hard at something and give it everything you’ve got and still come up short of your goal. This is why many people won’t even set goals that are extremely difficult. They choose instead to avoid the bitter disappointment of failure. In just a...
Okay, so this college thing makes you a lot more laid back about the pace at which you take things than back in high school. Before heading over to Bible study, I was already on course to arrive late. To me, that was fine, because I was tired and I needed something before I passed out....
People have been working hard for over 150 years to describe how the process of Darwinian evolution would have started, abiogenesis. They have yet to come up with a viable explanation. If we do not have viable explanation of how this started, how then can we trust it to describe what...
When I was first pondering what to write to take on this big question of why Christians claim that Jesus is the only way to heaven, the first things I thought of to answer it were, “because He is!” and “because He said so!” But don’t worry, I’ll give you some more evidence than that...
“The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.” ~ Genesis 3:21 (NIV)
A common question asked from little children is this: “Why do only people wear clothes? Why doesn’t the dog wear clothes?” The issue of clothing is always an interesting discussion. Why...
When I was in college attending a Campus Crusade for Christ event with a special guest speaker, the focus for the teaching for all of us who were young adults newly out on our own was on the danger of disobeying God’s command to remain sexually pure until marriage. This is because...
I showed up about fifteen minutes early. I am a stickler for being on time because, as far as I know, professors appreciate students who are not only punctual, but excited about learning. Showing up early proved that I wanted to be there and I wanted to learn. Of course being the first...
Abiogenesis is a fancy word that is used to describe what must have taken place for evolution to be true. What it means is chemicals that were not alive joined together spontaneously to become something alive. All experiments done to show this can happen have failed miserably. From...
In last week’s post, I presented evidence from the Bible to show that Jesus is both fully God and fully human. In that, it was shown that Jesus is the Creator.
But why is it important that Jesus created the world? Think of it like playing with a young child who’s making up a game to...
How does the topic of same-sex marriage relate to the creation vs. evolution debate? Some might say that the two topics are totally unrelated. Others might say homosexuality is a practice that is permissible under Jesus’ covenant of grace and that the theory of evolution should be embraced...
Growing up in the church, I was taught that the most important thing to find out about someone was whether he or she was “saved”. This term was always further explained to include those who had “accepted Jesus as their Savior”. To find out if someone was saved, you usually asked questions...
A misunderstanding in the Creation vs. Evolution debate is that creationists deny that populations of organisms change over time. I freely admit that this has been observed. A small change over time though is not the same thing as very large changes over time.
If a bird develops a...
“When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples,’Who do people say the Son of Man is?’
They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’
‘But what about you?’ he asked. ‘Who do you say I am?’
Simon...
