In the Bible (but the Old Testament especially), we’re presented with stories that seem…well, odd. What are we to do with these? Well, not only do I think they are biblically defensible and, for the most part, even historically accurate; I also think they tell us significantly more than most think.
There is perhaps no question in the world more important than "who was Jesus?" Do the documents we have which tell of his life hold up as reliable? What if those who attested to his ministry were simply lying?
Have you ever encountered the claim that only information obtained by the "hard sciences" is reliable and true? In this short video I don't necessarily refute that claim (though it's obviously false), but I show the inconsistency of those who take such a position....
Bible interpretation is a very important---and very tricky---thing. In Lisle's Understanding Genesis, he discusses many fallacies that arise as a result of interpreting the Bible incorrectly. One of these is called the superfluous distinction fallacy. According to...
Spiritual apathy---preliminary results of my recent reader survey (it's still open, so take it and be entered for a chance to win a $10 Amazon gift card!) suggest that this is one of the biggest challenges facing most of my readers and listeners. Although I'm sure...

All too often, those who are urged to consider Christianity refuse to on the basis that they can no longer have "fun" if they serve God. Of course, this is a completely subjective response which depends entirely on how the word "fun" is defined. That said, the Bible...
Too often when attempting to give a persuasive case for Christian values, I encounter critics who raise objections that are fundamentally based on the assumptions of their own view. This is logically inept, especially when done intentionally. In this video, I'll...
As we experience the rise of feminism in our culture, It's become common among critics of the Bible to claim it is misogynistic (that is, demeaning, in some way, of women). Is this true? Does the Bible elevate the intrinsic worth of males to a level higher than that...
