Faith-Affirming Articles on the Truth of Christianity
Careful Conversations: Focus on the Position, not the Person
Throughout my time in Christian ministry, I have yet to become known as an expert in any particular field. That said, I have gained a reputation for being somewhat of a "peacemaker" in hostile waters. Creationism and presuppositionalism, for example, are both hotly...
“I Don’t Know, and You Don’t Either!” — Confronting Science of the Gaps
The tables are turning in the case of an oft-parroted accusation against biblical theists. I'm speaking about the familiar "God of the Gaps" argument. The kind folks over at RationalWiki provide the following explanation: God of the gaps (or a divine fallacy) is a...
Human and Animal Relationships: A Evolutionary Worldview or Biblical Worldview
This is a guest contribution made by my good friend and co-laborer for the Lord, Pat Mingarelli. Did you ever wonder why we own pets? Or why do we care about environmental and wildlife causes? And why do so many want to chip in and care for the environment or...

100: The Glory and Enjoyment of God
What is the chief end of man? According to the Westminster Shorter Catechism, “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and enjoy him forever.” But what does that mean for us? The Bible is clear (see Revelation 4:11) that we are created for God and his glory. Thus, we can...
