Confidence for the Christian | A Challenge for the Skeptic
Is the Christian Salvation Experience Unique?
Note: This post makes mention of Ravi Zacharias. It is with a heavy heart that I must acknowledge a tragic independent report concerning evidence of sexual abuse and predatory behavior on the part of Ravi Zacharias. This man was a huge inspiration to me, as is evident...
TCA Lesson 036: Creation and Predation—What Does the Bible Teach?
In the biblical account of earth history, an important distinction is made about the initial state of the creation. In fact, the Christian answer to death, pain, suffering, and objective evil in the world hinges on this important distinction. This week and next, we'll...
Loving God in the Absence of a Father
How do you love someone you're supposed to love, but don't really know how to love? I lost my father when I was 12 years old. We buried him, as I've written on before, on September 11, 2001--the day "we will never forget." As transparently as I know how to write these...

TCA Lesson 034: Is Young Age Creationism Pseudoscience? (Part 2)
Last week, we began looking at why young age creationism ought not to be considered a pseudoscientific discipline. We dealt with dinosaurs and the deluge (flood). This week, we look at the topics of dating and Darwin. What does it mean to be pseudoscientific, anyway?...

TCA Lesson 033: Is Young Age Creationism Pseudoscience? (Part 1)
Often, recent creationists endure ridicule from both the secular and Christian communities. Terms like "pseudoscience" are thrown around usually without regard for a proper understanding of the view, and our conclusions are rejected a priori. Is this criticism...
