God! He run this motha! God! Did you think I'd say girls? Girls are awesome, don't get me wrong, but girls make such terrible gods. Men do too. Think back on any bad relationship you've had, most likely things were so bad because one of you, or even both of you, expected the other to... Continue Reading →
"Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, Lema sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'" (Matthew 27:45-46) I've heard it over and over, "See! Even Jesus... Continue Reading →

The Greatest Commandment in the Bible comes to us in Matthew 22:37: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind".

(This content is originally from an online post for my Intro To Missions class, the question, quoted below, asks how I can help those in my ministry understand the Great Commission so I figured I might as well post my answer on my blog as well) "In light of what you learned in the biblical...

(This content is taken from Appendix A of my intro to apologetics book, Defending, Contending & Commending: Worldview Apologetics Made Easy and Biblical) The Problem of Evil is said to be the biggest defeater raised against God, specifically the one true God, the God of the Bible. The "problem" has been stated in many different... Continue Reading →
I have a very high view of God's sovereignty. I believe God is in control of everything and He has predestined every event that takes place and every fact that is a fact. Holding this view, and being vocal about it, has prompted lots of people, both Christian and non-Christian, to ask me: "If God's... Continue Reading →
"If money is the root of all evil, then why do they ask for it in church?" Such a clever critique, really sticking it to us church folk, huh?

"You can be anything you want, just dream it and believe it, name it and claim it, if it's gonna be it's up to me".... Continue Reading →
Romans 8:18 "For i consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us" (ESV) How many of us have read Romans 8:17 and have wished Paul would have just left off the second half of the verse? " and if Children,... Continue Reading →
