Some imposters can be easy to spot. I don’t imagine it would be too hard to recognize a lion pretending to be a duck. After all, both are very unique in size, shape, movement, etc. You’ve probably heard the phrase, ‘If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck…” No...

“Therefore measure in terms of five things: use these assessments to make comparisons, and thus find out what the conditions are. The five things are the way, the weather, the terrain, the leadership, and discipline.” ~Sun-Tzu, Chapter 1.

History. I'm a fan. My first love in academics is science. My second would be history. I have seen in many discussions that skeptics of the Biblical account use what they believe is recorded history as an example of well known facts that demonstrate the unreliable...

As I watched the postgame show after this year’s AFC Championship game in which the New England Patriots soundly defeated the Indianapolis Colts, I saw a giant sign in the stands that read, “In Bill We Trust”. This sign was a reference to the Patriots’ coach, Bill Belichick,...

Today I was listening to Neil Degrasse Tyson, the host of the popular science series Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey, lecture against the existence of God.
As he lectured, he cited Ptolemy, who upon observing the heavens praised the gods for the magnificence of the cosmos....

“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the...

Several years ago I wrote a talk about building a firm foundation. This talk is based on Matthew 7:24-27: “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams...

Two weeks ago, I wrote about the importance of knowing our enemy and knowing ourselves. Last week, I wrote briefly about the standard issued equipment we, as believers, have for this battle. I also introduced the idea that some of us have specializations for engaging...

Last week I took a short look at a few of the scientific issues surrounding the Big Bang. We briefly looked at the CBR (cosmic background radiation) and touched on expansion. That leads us to redshifts. The redshift is what is put up as support for the expansion of...

As anyone who has ever jumped in a pool or thrown a large rock into a lake knows, the ripple effect always starts from the point of impact and moves outward. Unless there is some scientific phenomenon of which I am not aware, it is impossible for the ripple to be felt...

“For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.’” ~Romans 1:17
A righteousness through faith: it is a concept that is a stumbling block for many different...

“That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness...

Back in August, I wrote a post entitled All In God’s Hands, But Even If He Doesn’t. I briefly brought up Confederate General Robert E. Lee, his faith and the fact that as soon as he would order his Army of Northern Virginia into battle, he trusted them to divine providence...

Having faith in God and living a life that represents Him and His love and grace can sometimes seem overwhelming. Daily stress, personal desires, fighting a cold, you name it; anything can knock us for a loop and we feel like we have to start all over again. Believing...

One of the most important things you must know when talking about any kind of warfare involves your assets. Sun-Tzu said: “Know your enemy and know yourself, then in 100 battles you will never be in peril.” One of the key things involved in this statement is knowing...

I feel we’re going to challenge a few folks this week and next with my two upcoming blog posts. I also feel that is a good thing. Several weeks ago, possibly even a few months ago, a friend of mine who is a Biblical creationist commented that he simultaneously believed...

As many of you know, I am a huge sports fan. Over the years, I’ve seen my favorite teams receive both the benefit and the hardship of bad calls made by officials. The NFL Playoffs are upon us this year and already, there have been several questionable calls made that...
