Confidence for the Christian | A Challenge for the Skeptic
On the Place of Evidence in Presuppositional Apologetics
If there's one thing I've learned in my time studying theology and apologetics, it's that there is much division within different camps of Christian belief. This is not necessarily bad, nor is it unexpected (Matthew 10:34), but it does complicate things. As such,...
Will God Answer us, and Show us Great and Mighty Things, if We Call Unto Him?
How do we know if a verse from the Old Testament---or even the New Testament---applies to you and me? Consider an example from Jeremiah 33:3. The verse says, "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Is this...

063: The Difference Between Uniformitarianism and the Uniformity of Nature
Our fundamental assumptions about the nature of reality, history, etc., will inevitably show up in our exploration of those things. But how do these assumptions affect our results? The answer to this question is the subject matter of today's podcast lesson. We realize...

In a recent article I wrote for The Creation Club, I examined the major problem with "science vs. the Bible thinking." That discussion led naturally to another question I received recently. The question goes like this: "At what point would I allow modern science to...
Is the Bible Misogynistic?
