Confidence for the Christian | A Challenge for the Skeptic
Worldview as the issue
On yesterday’s podcast episode I discussed my approach to apologetics… For those who didn’t listen—briefly, I take what many call a presuppositional approach to apologetics, although I sort of despise the term for two reasons: It almost begs to be misconstrued (even...
My approach to apologetics
A recent question from a reader of mine sparked the idea that it may be time to bring up the issue of apologetics methodology again… Here is something insightful that my friend Jonathan had to say: I see then the value of tearing down false authorities which compete...
The gospel truth in gospel love
This might sound a little silly for a Christian to say, but here goes: Lately, I’m becoming quite enamored with the life and ministry of Jesus. Understand something… I’ve been a Christian for very long time—but I believe a person’s love and understanding for Christ...
Integrity to keep you from sin
We all have different backgrounds… Some of you reading have been followers of Christ for a very long time, others a fairly new in their walk… Me, I have been a follower of Jesus for over 25 years (though I am only 30 years old). The fact is this: Navigating life’s...

Disagreement on the merits…not the man
Today’s is a fairly simple lesson in logic and careful thinking. Doesn’t it frustrate the living daylights out of you when someone lambasts a person for what they believe instead of dealing carefully with their belief itself? Now, to be sure… There is a time and a...
5 P’s to lead your family well
There I was….feeling like a failure… Once again, I FORGOT to read the Bible with my kids at bedtime. I forgot…or I was “too busy.” Which is a pretty lame excuse considering I’m adamant about keeping the commitments I make. Nevertheless, I break that one far too often....
The power of love motivated by the Spirit of God
I received some excellent responses the other day when I asked the question, What is God teaching you right now? I learned of struggles I had no idea folks were facing. I learned of lessons that, really, I need to be learning myself. Thanks so much for your responses....
What we love, we’ll defend
When we really love something, it’s not hard to defend it. For example: Your family. Wouldn’t you defend your family if they were being falsely accused or afflicted? Your freedom. When push comes to shove, many of us stand and fight for the freedom we enjoy here in...
