Is the Gap Theory Biblical? Refuting James Knox on the “Gap Fact.”
Does the Bible allow for a large gap of time between the first two verses of the Bible? Few scholars believe this to be the case, and yet the Gap Theory persists as an option for many wishing to reconcile an old earth with the biblical record.
The Neanderthal Problem
How do Neanderthals fit into a biblical worldview? Are cavemen, stone tools, hunter/gatherer lifestyles a threat to a biblically sound, young age creationist viewpoint? I don’t think so. Here’s why!
Christianity makes strong claims! And that’s a good thing.
Christianity makes claims and entrails truths that require all other religious systems to be false. These are strong claims, and I think it’s a good thing we have them. Here’s why.
Why Sin is Bad
The other night at men’s small group, we began discussing sin and its consequences. I spoke up because something occurred to me in a unique way that I thought would be valuable for the group. Namely, why is it that sin is actually bad anyway?
Snobs for Christ: On Intellectual Snobbery in the Church
In this week’s post (which is admittedly more of a rant), I discuss some of the problems we see when intellectualism gets taken too far in the church. There’s a balance! Anti-intellectualism is bad, but so is intellectual snobbery.
A Loving Christian Response to Homosexuality
Our church has recently concluded a series on tough questions in the Bible, and naturally, the question of how to respond to family members and other loved ones who have chosen to adopt a homosexual lifestyle came up. I’d like to lay out in brief what I believe the most appropriate general response is to this issue.
Creation Conversations: Adam or Death — Which Came First? w/ Dr. Stephen Lloyd
Why are young age creationist’s so passionate—and insistent—about taking the first chapters of Genesis seriously? Join Dr. Stephen Lloyd and me for a rich, extended discussion about why the origins issue matters and what we can do to graciously present our side of the story.
Facts vs. Faith vs. Feelings: How Do We Know and Experience God?
The intellectual side of Christianity is very attractive and most natural to me, so I’ve been thinking about a way to understand our relational experience of Christ in this context. By using some pragmatic philosophy, we can draw helpful distinctions between the various ways we know and experience God and his world.
Why Fight for Free Will? w/ Tim Stratton
One of the most important internal discussions I think Christians can have involves whether or not we have been endowed with free will by our Creator. Why does it matter whether or not we have free will? To answer that question (and a few more!), I brought on my good friend and founder of FreeThinking Ministries, Tim Stratton.
Tactics: A Must-Have Manual on Sharing Your Faith
Just last month, Greg Koukl released the 10th-anniversary edition of Tactics—a must-read book that has been instrumental in my life—which has been updated and expanded with over 40% new content! While there’s much I could say, I’d love to just zoom in on my top three takeaways.
